PTS Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Reading the Leafs home town papers today, it seems they all think Buffalo will win tonight. I hope our boys don't read this crap and get too cocky. Should be a great game and if Buffalo plays like they have, they will surely win again tonight. Blow Leafs Blow! Eric Lindros (wrist ligament), Alexander Steen (thumb), Nik Antropov (knee), Jason Allison (finger) and Carlo Colaiacovo (wrist) are not expected to play tonight for the Leafs.

PASabreFan Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 The Toronto writers apparently don't know that the Sabres' road winning streak ended in Florida. Biggest homer media in the NHL. You always have to read between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Larry, in case you aren't aware, there are a whole host of links to Sabres' stories at sabresreport.com (this forum's "home page"). It is updated several times a day. So handy. To whoever updates it, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blugold43 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 after monday's feast in the 3rd pd vs. the isles i am even more jacked up for this game. GO BUFFALO! i love it when we beat on the leafs, but it is always a little trickier task up there than in buffalo. i've said this about 10 times already this season, but if they win THIS one, then i'll KNOW they're for real! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Game on, and two defensive lapses lead to 2 Leafs goals....but Connelly just makes 2-1. No quit in the Sabres. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Afinigenov gets a cheap penalty after a Leaf mugged him and no call. Sabres better remember where they are playing. Leafs and Habs get lots of love from the refs at home. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Even though I thought he could have stopped the 2nd goal, I am glad Lindy gave Marty the start tonight. I like to see him rotate goalies on back-to-back games and did not under any circumstances want to see Marty in net tomorrow night. Hopefully they build on momentum from Connolly's goal. They have to play smarter on the points on the powerplay or it will be a long night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of blaming Biron for goals, why not blame the defense in front of him? That was a 4-on-2, and he was completely screened. Both Leaf goals were the direct result of defensive breakdowns. I suppose that 3rd Leafs goal is Biron's fault too? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of room on the far side to shoot at. He appeared to be partially screened, but I felt he was out of position. He IS playing well tonight. He was great on Marius' breakaway and has made some very nice saves tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't considering the other Leafs Biron has to plan for. That could have drawn him to the side a bit. I play goal and few people understand what goes into playing the position. In my opinion, the players in front don't get enough of the blame. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mphs mike Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 It would have been nice to tie it before the second ended. Excellent pressure if the Leafs zone the last 7-8 minutes of the second. If the Swordsmen keep that up they'll tie it at 3 and win the game. I have a feeling that the next team to score wins this one. Go Sabres!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I also thought that was the case. Nice observation. Upon seeing the replay, I can see Biron was set in his position when the shot came, so he was indeed NOT centered to the shooter. I'm wrong. You;re right.
