FWIW:  after starting off 3-0 with Sheldon Keefe, the Leafs are 1-3 in their last 4.

Also in their last 4... Auston Matthews has 0 goals, 1 assist and is a -7.

It's not an elbow.

Yeah, because they set picks on their own teammates:

Correct. It does looks ugly. Still, what's a goon to do?

This guy from Kitchener at lunch was pissed that I even knew about it.

Nikita Zaitsev has been accused of attacking his ex-wife and taking their children:

Not sure what to make of this.  As usual, I'm going to let it play out.

Deslauriers just put an absolute beatdown on Gudas.

[SABRES 0311]

 

[Zamboni]

Couldn’t have happened to a better idiot. Good for Delauriers.

[Stoner]

Gudas' helmet is day to day.

Here’s something to consider: pretty much every NHL team these days has an 8-2 and a 2-8 run in them and will experience both over the course of the year.

It’s the nature of parity, OT and the way the game is played today. And it’s why we probably shouldn’t overreact to any hot or cold stretch.

Depends on the length of stretch, my man.

Eichel is better than Matthews. Damn, that’s fun to say.

It's a fine state of affairs when it's Pearl Harbor Day and we are scoreboard watching to see if anyone is helping the Sabres.

The Sabres better start helping themselves and soon.

And the announcer gave "kudos to Gudas" for taking his medicine.  Weird.

I don't think it was weird. Gudas isn't a fighter, he didn't need to fight, but did deserved a beatdown. He voluntarily took it. Good hockey all around.

I bask in my dinosaurisocity.

[Doohicksie]

How about kudos to Delo?

[SwampD]

This Calgary/Colorado game has been great. 4-4 in the third.

This team misses him.

OT is awesome. Great ending to the Cal/Col game.

Makes me feel better about the Sabres. Our loos to the Flames stung me. They're pretty good.

I thought about posting some similar sentimental hogwash but no.  If he were on this team today he'd be a whipping boy.

Also Ryan Johnson.  Too many NHL D, but we're also pretty stacked with D prospects.
