Thorny Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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?

GoPre Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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.

That Aud Smell Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they don't try and bring in Marty, everyone loves him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
