Despite what Ray would likely say this has been a bad period. Flyers owned it.

Get that puck over to Eich

Giving this game away

hooked

Risto just got tripped no call

What a friggin glove save Uli

How is that interference ? He had the puck.

Watching the young D men make rookie mistakes and recover or not is nerve racking but softened by the knowledge that some of these guys will be driving offence from the back end for hopefully the next decade in the case of Dahlin. Pilut has really impressed me in the few games he's played to date. Watching them both develop and learn the N.H.L. game will be a hoot.

I'm not in Buffalo so its not for me to say but I will. For those of us that only get to view the Sabres on the little screen and not in person I'd hate to see something like a football stadium that breaks down into a hockey rink. Clearly that building would be built for football and hockey would be the ugly stepsister or an afterthought. The intimacy of a rink would be lost in the expanse of a football stadium regardless of how hard they tried to please the hockey fan . A giant curtain brings thoughts of the wizard of Oz pulling one over on the little people with his bells and whistles. Give me a stand alone stadium any day of the week over playing second fiddle inside the belly of the beast that is the N.F.L. How do you pull the fans in on all sides right up to the rink inside an N.F.L. stadium ? How would you sit looking down onto the ice like you did in the old rinks like the forum or maple leaf gardens or the Aud ? I don't know but to me that intimacy is what creates the hockey experience whether you're there or at home watching on T.V.

Well she's a damn better sight than Gary isn't she. She's got my vote.

I don't normally rail on the officials but alas I do at times but the hand closed on puck by Mathews wasn't the only egregious thing they let go I'm still pissed about Marleau's late hit on Eichel. Real late. And Pierre gabalot went off on how good of a play it was as he ballwashed Marleau and the Leafs. O.K. rant over.

Pretty sure its like pilot

I got words now that I've had the dinner and a pop. That was a fantastic hockey game the losing aside. This team is entertaining and if our secondary scoring could chip in a timely goal or two we'd be on the good side of the score more often than not. Pilut is a revelation after what 2-3 games ? Such a smart player. I'm not sure if he goes back down. I can't wait till the next game. Last season I couldn't wait for the next game to be over. That says it all for me.

I got no words

Oh my nerves this O.T. is going to be frightening

Marner is one shifty bastage

EICH EICH BABY

He's been really good

Linus

Refs tryin to tilt the balance back in the Leafs favour.

Did Pierre just say for a very slick Hyman?

Its funny how everyone but Pierre sees that

No Pierre Jack was injured when Marleau hit him late

Sleepwalkin

Good shift
