Game 31: Leafs @ Sabres - Mar. 21, 7:00pm - Sportsnet, Fan 590

Wow looked like Gunnar should have had a boarding call there too boys.

Wow, the opponents got a holy mackinaw.

It was a cool save and all but the puck had zero chance of going into the net on that play.  It wasn't quite running parallel to the goal-line but it wasn't going to cross the line until the puck was already in the corner if it did.

Yea, the replay showed that pretty clearly.

How does Myers not get a penalty for dropping his gloves?

that little puke. shoulda been in the box for two. 

 

[bustaheims]

Thought it would have been more rare than that

The Leafs have had some pretty good offensive teams of late. Runs like that aren't so unusual in those situations.

I don't know about that. Looked like Pominville turned as the hit was being delivered there.

The Grabovski line has gotten some good cycles going tonight

Honest question: How many hands would you need to count the goalies on the planet you would trade Kadri straight up for?

You'd think, at the very least, that's an unsportsmanlike call. You'd think . . .

Or, at the least, an intentional offside and the draw should of been in the Sabre's zone

Yeah, there was zero opportunity for Gunnarson to let up.  Good non-call.

None. He's untouchable. Him, Gardiner and Lupul. Not going anywhere. Anyone else, if the price is right.

and I wouldn't give Vancouver a bag of pucks for that loser Luongo......

Honest question: How many hands would you need to count the goalies on the planet you would trade Kadri straight up for?

Im not sure there is a goalie who is young and good enough to trade him straight up for. Price maybe? But If Kadri continues to get better, I'm not sure I'd do that.

 

[pnjunction]

Argh that post hurt

 

[drummond]

Lady Luck, please?

 

[bustaheims]

Man, if they play like this against the Bruins, they are going to get slaughtered.

 

[Deebo]

Man, if they play like this against the Bruins, they are going to get slaughtered.

That's why 2 points would be nice today.

 

[leafplasma]

So with Kadri getting more ice time as of late his point totals are also going up.  Doesn't that disprove what RC said earlier in the season in regards to keeping him at 15 minutes a game?

 

[OldTimeHockey]

Very Wilson like out there. Way to wide open for this Leaf team.

What about Kipper? It doesn't get much more obvious than that!

Although to make it a more even trade the Leafs would have to throw in a 1st too

On the flip side, I loved seeing the team retaliate against the Bruins after Myers tried to fight Gunnarsson.  The Sabres tried to throw big kind of overly aggressive hits on the next shift and the Leafs just started throwing them right back and outhit and outchanced the Sabres over that period. 

....and then the refs try and win the game for Buffalo.  After the Myers non-call they are going to call a penalty with less than 2 minutes left in the game against Toronto. 

 

[pnjunction]

So much for the refs staying out of this close game, like the guy said after the Myers non-call 

nm careless high stick they've got to call it
