GDT - Toronto @ Buffalo: 7pm, MSGB, WGR, 9/23/2017

Right on . He has nothing to prove , scary the prospect of injury

[3putt]

I wouldn't mind if Eichel didn't play another second of preseason hockey

Matty Mo and Gorges both look a step worse than last year, and shouldn't be starting on this team.

I get the injury concern, but there has to be a more consistent commitment to winning from him. I know these don't matter but at least make it look like you care.

Not sure where this comes from - Jack is singlehandedly the reason we had any scoring chances whatsoever.

 

Our other three lines got absolutely caved in by the Leafs' B-team.

Guhle is a deer in headlights.

Agreed, we look absolutely terrible...

[GoPre]

It's preseason....

[GrassValleyGreg]

Reinhart absolutely brutal. 3rd year now; no reason why he should look so scared and lost.

Got to give new coaching staff and players opportunity to work together

They will be fine on defense, issue going to be can they score

[darksabre]

I've liked Baloo so far.

 

I really need Eichel to cut to the middle on the power play. He needs to work his way in from that low left circle position and just see if he can trick a defender/goalie into thinking he's going to pass to the guy parked off the left side of the net.

[Pokey Jones]

"not much spark" the Sportsnet announcer said. Tell me that doesn't sum it up good.

 

Good thing I don't take preeason seriously or I'd be really depressed about this (cough) effort.

[darksabre]

Nice sequence by Kane Reino Pommers there.

[bunomatic]

Whoa that Greg Millen ballwashh of the leafs gets tiresome

[Scottysabres]

They look terrible most of the time. A few flashes of chemistry but not much else. Hoping that changes with time.

 

Gorges looks like retirement material.

[bunomatic]

Haven't seen anything to get excited about with this sabres squad

[Sabel79]

Good hands by 24 there. Nice goal.

[Randall Flagg]

What a deflection from Fasching, nice.

[darksabre]

That goal is why I like wristers from the point.

[3putt]

Bailey has looked better tonight.

[bunomatic]

Lookin better . Until that tripping penalty.

I love that our D players are taking opportunities to jump up in the offensive zone.

 

That was a weak call on Kane.

[Randall Flagg]

Antipin certainly has NHL skill level, he just needs to mentally catch up to the speed of the game. 

 

Some good play from our boys over the last 4 minutes or so. 

[bob_sauve28]

Antipin and Beaulieu look good, Guhle looks nervous but I like the way he cleared the front of the net there

[darksabre]

Unfortunately this is what happens when two evenly matched squads meet up in the preseason on back to back nights where either of the two main attractions aren't playing.

Antipin and Beaulieu look good, Guhle looks nervous but I like the way he cleared the front of the net there

Guhle definitely needs some more seasoning.

 

I think Antipin is going to be good but frustrating at times.

[SwampD]

All I know is it's the first day of fall and I'm watching hockey. It's good.

[darksabre]

:thumbsup:

 

The new jerseys look good too.

[erickompositör72]

I love Antipin's aggressiveness. I'll take it.

 

Beaulieu will be a stud.

 

 

Eichel is like having 2 players on the ice. Did anyone see that shorthanded scoring chance he created single-handedly?
