Thorner Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Funny thing is, the roles were reversed last year and this put the leafs in rebuild mode. I'm drunk right now and we all wanted to see is an easy win, but we are rebuilding and this is a nice reality check I guess. I am amused that you qualified your post with this :lol: The boys just looked tired today. Or like they weren't into it. Quote
WildCard Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Well, sounds like I made a good choice in skipping this game tonight. Did we play as bad as the score indicates? Quote
jsb Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Well, sounds like I made a good choice in skipping this game tonight. Did we play as bad as the score indicates? Worse, 3rd game in 4 days, without Jack, they looked tired, lost every loose puck and they couldn't generate anything. Even the first period where they held a 1-0 lead they were badly outplayed. Their #1 weakness was exposed, speed and with tired legs it made it look even worse. The young kids of Toronto aren't that bad either. They may well be on the rebound faster than some think but then again as badly as we played, you never know. Quote

We're slow on the back end as it is, something the first Edmonton game badly exposed, and without our best offensive threat and 3/4 games/day, that's just not a good combination Quote
nucci Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Worst game this year, I think easily. Quite a bad performance against the worst team in the league. But according to Rob Ray the Sabres "were flying tonight". He said it on more than one occasion. Not sure which game he was watching. Is it possible he is the worst analyst ever? Quote
GoPre Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) No Eichel = low Sabrespace turnout? Only 4 pages. :blink: All kidding aside, Buffalo went from possibly their best game of the season to their worst. The Sabres looked nothing like they did in the Senators game. Yes, Eichel did not play, but there shouldn't be a complete 180... Edited March 20, 2016 by GoPre Quote
apuszczalowski Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Yeah they do look pretty good. Add Stamkos and/or Matthews...Yuck but I see here that Stamkos isn't anything special and not worth the money he will ask for. He doesn't show up in the playoffs too. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Good game to miss, sounds like. Eichel out with a 24 hour "flu" (this is your annual reminder that this sort of "flu" is not influenza, but rather a g.i. based virus) and Reinhart with ToI in line with Foligno. I wonder if the two rookie 20 goal scorers celebrated a bit after the Ott'wa game. Possibly making Eichel's injury an "Irish" flu. OTOH, it is very possible that he picked up something at chez Moulson. In any event, I hope everyone is feeling better soon. Quote

I know I was trying to watch the NCAA wrestling finals, some people were probably catching some college basketball, and there was a real-time documentary on how grass grows, which promised more action than this game.

That Aud Smell Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Undercooked Totino's can do it. Qft. Most of what people think is a GI bug is food poisoning. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Someone on hfboards said it was definitely food poisoning. Not sure where they got that info though. Quote
dudacek Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 It was said repeatedly on the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. Quote

Stoner Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 It took him this long to try Mighty Taco? Weird WC is our Eichel. Wait til you see this kid's posts in 2018-19. Quote

Not that this info is attainable bit I'd love to know how many "flus" were of the brown bottle variety. It's a real number, just not sure how prevalent. Quote
WildCard Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 WC is our Eichel. Wait til you see this kid's posts in 2018-19. Glad someone caught this :beer: Quote
