Doohickie Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Nope, I want the Leafs to be terrible and not ready. Frankly, I want this game to be a blowout which sends them into a tailspin. I want the Leaves at their best, and I want to beat them handily anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 That forward lineup doesn't impress me at all but I am interested in how Guhle and Nelson team up together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 For so many reasons, I hate Toronto more than any other team in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Good. Let's take them on head-to-head. I'm up for it. I think the Sabres will be up for it too. Me thinks the league scheduled it like this expecting the Sabres to be playing better than they have. The idea being with playoffs on line within the division between two rivals this is where you usually get some good spirited play.. Lets Go Buffalo Nope, I want the Leafs to be terrible and not ready. Frankly, I want this game to be a blowout which sends them into a tailspin. Yes, and double yes. I really do not like the leafs fans from my days at games in the Old Memorial Aud. IMHO between the trash talking and almost brawls they are the least hospitable of our Canadian fan neighbors.

CallawaySabres Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 At least the crowd will have energy tonight. I would rather be surrounded by 19K loud Leafs fans tonight than sitting in the middle of that library any other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familiarity breeds contempt. Insofar as I was a hockey fan at age 7 (i.e., before the Sabres), I was a Leafs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Looked at Toronto's lineup, didn't recognize Johnsson. Of COURSE they have a seventh round pick from four drafts ago putting up a point per game in the AHL, why wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, we just traded our best healthy winger to get O'Regan who is almost a point per game AHL player. Same-sies right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those dastardly villains were smart enough to take fliers on 4-5 other guys before Johnsson since they knew he'd be that good and still be there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to rub it in our faces. (i'm agreeing with you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Don't worry, we just traded our best healthy winger to get O'Regan who is almost a point per game AHL player. Same-sies right? To take it to the next level of 20/20 hindsight: And we took on Bogo's salary, and traded away D Myers, a 1st-round winger (Armia), a 2nd-round (1st pick of the round - Lemieux), and a St Louis 1st round pick. Because it's important to build a strong minor league team as a foundation. Stafford was a rental and Kasdorf was an ECHL, so I'm not including them. (But we're getting two conditional picks... most likely a 2nd and a 4th, so... push?) :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedesessed Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Scheduling oddity as this is the first matchup between the two teams this season, and we will have all 4 of our games with Toronto in the final month of the season. NHL be dumb yo. I personally don't even view Toronto as much of a rival. It's been too one sided historically for Buffalo to consider Toronto as a rival.

bob_sauve28 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Is Austin Mathews playing? I didn't see him in the game the other night. And this: I think the Leafs are two very skilled forwards and two skilled defenseman better than us. I think we can add the forwards, eventually, but I just don't see where we get a couple of really good defenseman from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seem to have some potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s missed time this season due to separate back, concussion and shoulder issues. He’s out with separated shoulder at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's way ahead of where Nelson was when he first got here. I have no idea how good Guhle can be, but I'll say I was super impressed with him last time he came up, so maybe ya. Nelson might still have more upside, which would be fantastic. Scandella might even get better, though I like his play already. Antipin looks good, also, as does McCabe. Hey, maybe we do have hope there! Just would like to see some more scoring from the back end, though it has been coming lately Nope. He’s missed time this season due to separate back, concussion and shoulder issues. He’s out with separated shoulder at the moment. Damn, worse condition that Jack is in!
