I'm not complaining about the refs. I'm really not. We're losing because we got cute and stopped skating. I just find it curious that with all the play in the TO zone in the first, the Sabres didn't draw one penalty,… hm. K.

[Two or less]

Total collapse of a team. Myers looked like a statue on that goal. Oh well. FYI I hate Kessel :)

 

Maple Leafs giving the Sabres a friendly reminder that we're still a bad team. They must of gotten totally chewed by at the first intermission and played a flawless second. Even the previous five minutes before their first goal you could see it was only a matter of time before they score.

Cue Millbank

Sabres helped the Leafs by being so passive and letting them take the play to them. They need to get back on the attack. There was no real offense by the Sabres in the 2nd. It was said before and I agree. They stopped skating and went into watch and react mode. Result is giving up 3 goals. Reminds me of the first month of the season. Redemption in the 3rd? We shall see.

Carlyle lit the room on fire at intermission; I can only imagine what was said; however, I am sure the fact that they're playing the worst team in hockey. I can hear him say, lean on them and they' ll bend and break.

 

Buffalo certainly made the coach look like a prophet.

 

Whatever he said, it worked.

[ubkev]

Kessel just made Omark his bitch.

[Iron Crotch]

We get a penalty? What about the blatant interference on the Leafs d-man 30 seconds before?

 

Omark looks like he might be Leino 2.0.

Don't forget the entire line of Omark-Leino-Foligno missed the last game with the flu. Bet those guys have very little in the tank.

[Nitro60]

Kessel is a pathetic little man.

[kishoph]

Where's the call on that crosscheck to Moulson ?

[JJFIVEOH]

Am I the only one that hates Kessel more and more every time we play them?

 

Kessel is a pathetic little man.

 

Apparently not.

[SwampD]

I hate Leino more.

[bunomatic]

Do we get a powerplay this game ? Not that its an advantage or anything but these leafs aren't exactly angels.

[Iron Crotch]

Not a single call on the Leaves tonight... they're the cleanest team in hockey. :angel:

[Nitro60]

Shots on goal since the start of the 2nd: Toronto 23 Buffalo 6. Don't win games that way. Why have the Sabres adopted the drop back and passive approach in their own end after the 1st? How do they expect to score? They ran out of gas after and are running on fumes.

I'm going to say it's because they're bad. Really bad.

They'll wait until after the empty netter so it looks good in the box score.

[bunomatic]

Dag nabbit I think they're tanking.

[Iron Crotch]

It's about time for Ville to score his first of the season...

[Nitro60]

Showing some life on offense. Too little, too late?

[ubkev]

Dag nabbit I think they're tanking.

 

Nope, they blow.

[Nitro60]

Getting close but time is running out. NEWS FLASH: I still loathe Kessel. The little creep.

[Eleven]

If this is restarting off of a timeout, I want Miller no further back than the blueline.

[I am Defecting]

There's still time to tie it up... Ennis?

[Nitro60]

Ott and Clarkson are exchanging Christmas greetings.
