Bruins in Alamo.

Stayed out for a full shift so he is OK and one tough player.

Cozens may have hurt his hand.

Frantic action at both ends. Come on Sabres, finish strong!

Fudge.

The 13th forward is an NHLer but no injuries there. D depth is suspect and they keep going down. Geez.

Dahlin hurt blocking a shot.

Make them pay for the icing!

I like Kyle but he has been largely ineffective on the ice IMHO. I know he made a gorgeous pass to TT but his play has been below par. Maybe his body will tell him to take a break and let Quinn back in.

Thompson looks hungry tonight. Feed him!

Like everyone else I am very disappointed in last night’s result. Fluky goals and the Sabres lack of shots and driving the net cost them. One player I thought was horrible is KO. He did not make a play on any shift. He also seemed to lack passion and drive. I know he wears the C but I think he should sit out for Hinestroza next game.

They must win, I don’t care if they give the Yotes a loser point, just win.

They look out of sync. Passes into skates or way ahead of the receiver. Casual drop passes to nobody. They just need to stay with it and take shots while crashing the net. I have a feeling Quinn will be in on the next goal, he is involved and hustling.

I want them to handily beat the Yotes to get back on the winning train and to build excitement for the next few games. DG will be telling them not to look past this game, it is a must win one to stay in the hunt for the playoffs. I missed the Tampa game, excited to watch tonight. Let’s go Buffalo!

Maybe the team is weaker than last year, he is really good but maybe the team has regressed.

We can feel that way but I don’t want the team feeling overconfident.

Agree that AM is softer than charmin. I don’t think he needs to drop the gloves but skating away is pretty wimpy. He is 6’3 210 for Pete’s sake, a little bit of face washing would prevent some of the abuse and he would get more respect. Like @Weavesaid, he has a very punchable face. I can’t wait until he bails on the Leafs so I don’t have to see him all over the news here.

Correct, Andre is from Témiscaming and some family members of mine know his family.

I can’t believe this either. My trade pays similar money and requires on call and unplanned overtime for storms and trouble. That is a deal breaker for many people, they just want to work 40 hours. Double time means nothing yet they have huge mortgages to pay. They would rather have time off than money. I realize there needs to be balance in life, I worked way too much, hoping to provide a better life for my family. The purpose of the job is to provide an almost essential service to people, electricity. A lot of people I see working crazy hours are retirees, earning extra money but taking pride in keeping the lights on. There are many companies specializing in power restoration, staffed by retirees.

Bounce back hard boys! Let’s go Buffalo.

I’ll watch hockey as much as possible but that game does not interest me. With a gun to my head I would cheer for Vegas because Toronto is in the Sabres division. I would like to see Eichel vs Matthews in an NBA style slapping fight.

Cozens hit on Matthews after his scuffle with Dahlin was one of my favourite memories from last year.

Auston Matthews is way behind Dahlin for the Rocket Richard trophy, they have to hold on for a week or so before the Leafs fans MVP chants turn the tide.

The only time I’ve seen Fantilli play was at the U18s. He was way behind Bedard from a skill perspective. Michkov was impressive at the 2021 U18, matching Bedard’s performance.
