The ref finally decides to call a penalty. Wow. That PP killed us.
Several years ago an obnoxious Leave fan told me Marner was better than Eichel. I agrued against that. I was wrong. Marner is the steal of that draft and far better than Eichel.
edit: I forgot about Aho in the 2nd round of that draft. Still Marner is excellent.
Not nearly like now. I was there in the Aud almost every night in 70’s and 80’s and it was NEVER this lopsided. We owned Toronto for a long time and they hated it. They lobbied to leave our division during league realignment. They pushed to play in a far less competitive central division (Norris). They sucked in that division too.
The rival fans come from a market bigger than NYC with just as much money to spend. Hockey is the only sport that matters in Torontos huge market. Add in that the Sabres have been bad for 12 years.
Should not be a shock.
Not hitting is not expected. You don’t have to fight to check. Play the body, slow them down. Take the body on the boards, slow them down. This is a free skate for Toronto.
No. We needed a good start to have our fans in it. Sabres fans are not loud compared to other teams. They want a reason to cheer.
UPL looked bad on Bunting goal. Pull him now.
