GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres Tuesday 4/15 7pm ESPN+ & MSG

[SwampD]

There are some 0-0 games that are awesome.

This ain’t one.

[HumanSlinky39]

Upie's been good tonight.

[HumanSlinky39]

It feels like we've barely possessed the puck this whole game...

[Brawndo]

1-0

[HumanSlinky39]

BALLS

0-1

Feels like that'll pretty much do it.

[SwampD]

I think it’s crap they didn’t blow the play dead when his mask was off. Why should play be blown dead once the Sabres get the puck?

JFC, every time we get the puck into their zone it goes right back the other way. Wake up you chuckleheads 

[Crusader1969]

I'll ask again after that shift.  Is Bryson the worst defender the Sabres have had over the 14 years ?   

[SwampD]

Sabres are getting shut out tonight. And Quinn’s shooting % continues to trend in the wrong direction.

Should of been a trip in Toronto at the end there, Robertson slew foot Krebs

Will Butcher and Colin Miller spring to mind, but he's certainly right there. His unexplainable longevity probably gives him the edge.

[Crusader1969]

Can we just default into the offseason?

Has there been one hit all game by either team?

Dahlin clobbered Tavares once and Marner once

I've seen Bryson desperately avoiding contact 2-3 times, so there's that.

Lindy might wanna reinforce in the boys that you cannot score if you don't possess the puck. This has been a dreadful performance offensively.

[Sidc3000]

So is Samuelsson openly trying to help the Leafs? It seems every time he touches the puck in his zone he’s giving it to a leafs player. 

[Crusader1969]

Heard Kris Baker mention it and just did the Math

without Bryson in their lineup  since March 20th

sabres 8-1-1 

with Bryson 0-4 

Overall they have a winning % of .371 with him playing 

 

that's more than a coincidence right? Or just one of those weird stats?

I think you could say the same for the other 30 teams.  Hands of stone 

besides blocking shots, what does he do for you?  I don't understand how a guy who is willing to block shots , doesn't have the courage or the heart to stick up for teammates?

Marty going over the little bit of good - Östlund is a very good instinctual player. He should be a pretty good 2-way forward for us.

Yes.  One of the few that I would never question his effort or care

Methinks he's a borderline 7th defenseman for a reason

Lucky.  I get the TSN leaf love in on TSN

though O-dog and Bob McKenzie had Marner signing with the Leafs at less than 40%.

I don't think it's a coincidence. He's a lousy player getting too many minutes. He's a -9, which is 4th worst on the team playing 15-30 less games than anyone worse than him. 

[HumanSlinky39]

Stolarz is locked in. We're getting goose egged.

[HumanSlinky39]

Why do they keep skating into a gaggle of leafs when they have the puck?

[Crusader1969]

That should be Lafferty's last shift of the game.  
 

give Östlund and Rosen someone with some skill to play with 

[HumanSlinky39]

Sabres power play
