Crestwood Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 He has been a real pain tonight. A lot of dirty play by Toronto tonight. And the referees have allowed it all to escalate by not calling them on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Christopher Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 And the referees have allowed it all to escalate by not calling them on it. I agree. The refs have been brutal tonight. Glad we got the win tonight. Marty was great for us tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeleslyobvious Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I agree. The refs have been brutal tonight. Glad we got the win tonight. Marty was great for us tonight. Â Marty looked very good at times, but that third goal is very typical of him. Letting in one he should have had on a crucial situation. One of the main reasons I have never been a big fan of his.

rickshaw Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Apparently Sundin only has a 2 penalty per game limit. I have no idea how he didn't get called for knocking over Teppo there. There was no need for that. That is clearly what a penalty is. This ticky tack hooking crap is a joke, yet you can put a guy on his ass just cuz you feel like it. Â I hate the Leafs! They make my blood boil. Â Good win despite the pp and the refs. Marty was great except for his usual one shaky goal a game. 3rd game in 4 nights, on the road. I'll take the 2 points.

wjag Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Great bounce back game. Marty played well. Too bad he let that 3rd goal in off his glove. He saw it all the way. Â Glad to see the Leafs go down. Montreal lost to the Rangers, and the Devils took care of Ottawa, so this was a good day. Â Buffalo is now the point leader in both conferences and the first to 30 wins... :worthy: :beer: :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 A lot of poor penalty calls tonight. The Sabres were doing well killing that penalty. Might be the understatement of the night. Who says Canadian teams don't get more calls at home? ;) Â Marty looked very good at times, but that third goal is very typical of him. Letting in one he should have had on a crucial situation. One of the main reasons I have never been a big fan of his. That was a typical Marty performance, and IMO, the main reason that his career potential is in that nether region between starters and backups - he manages to look solid and shaky in the same game. Tonight's game reminds me of why he never took control of the Sabres' goaltending situation after Dom left - too many games where he would stop 27, 28, 29 shots, let in two that weren't his fault and one absolute killer-bad goal. Main difference now is we win those games 4-3, whereas earlier we would lose those games 3-2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto was beat tonight, they looked out of it. Marty lets that one in, and they came back to life for the last 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saudi Arabia Rob Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 What still rough to watch is the power play. There were too many times when Toronto was able to come back with a 2-2 and generated short-handed shots. I know the Sabres play risky, but... Â In the third, Ruff put two defensemen on the PP. Smart, obvious move with the way it was going late. Â Agree on the Marty observation...he always seems to let in the one goal which makes the games a bit too "interesting" down the stretch. How many times have the two-goal games become one-goal games with three or four minutes left because of a Marty goal. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great guy and keeping him as the backup is the right move this year, but gosh, does he have to make every game interesting?

Marty lets that one in, and they came back to life for the last 5 minutes. Maybe it's his rep and not actually as bad as we think, but with Marty, it seems that soft goals happen a lot. And his timing is usually horrendous, giving life to the opposition when they should be out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 What I want to know is why Roby insists on fawning over the opposition. Kaberle and Steen as his second and third stars?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottnc Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I thought we were lucky to get those first 2 goals, otherwise it would've been another 3-2 loss. Â I disagree. We got good traffic in front of the net and put the puck on net. Kalinin's shot was actually pretty nice, right in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
