Game 42: Buffalo Sabres vs Toronto Maple Leafs W2-0

[L K]

The Sens up on the Pens 4-1. The Jets up on Boston 4-2.

Bruins are up 4-3 so I don't think the Jets were ever up 4-2

Might have been a typo.  They had a 3-2 lead at one point.  Had the Jets won that game, Pittsburgh would have been in 9th.

The year Penguins won the last cup, they were 12th in February.  Just saying.

Those Penguins were struggling as a team from a style standpoint.  These Penguins don't have the best player in the league.

LOL.... that Sabre is what? 5' 7" ? maybe?

What the heck got into Gerbe there?  Tries to rough up Kessel after a nothing shot and then an out of nowhere full on gloved punch to Lupul's face well after the scrum back at the benches.  If the Leafs aren't on the PP after this something is wrong.

I like Gerbe, even they he kind of cheap-shotted Lupul there.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

well he's on my forever-crap list for that....

 

[TML fan]

Gerbe is a doofus. If the linesmen had let that go he would have been destroyed.

How does he not get the extra for that?

They were also a team looking to get rid of their coach.

I've only seen the third period, but man Kulemin has played well.

10 pages is pretty baron, where did all the fans go?

crossing my fingers for a gustavsson shut out

 

[barney_rebel]

Steckel is a gem

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!!

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

yay!

 

[L K]

2nd Shutout Gustavsson and he made two big saves late in the game again!!!

A big block by one of the defensemen it looked like too.

There's nothing to complain about when the Leafs are playing like this and winning. A good chunk of the larger GDTs are people moaning and nitpicking.

 

[pnjunction]

shut. out. awesome

 

[Zee]

Well, that was awesome.

 

[ZBBM]

Steckel is money.  Absolutely cash on the barrelhead.  Again helps preserve the W.

 

[lamajama]

Other than that off-setting minor, we took no penalties did we??

 

[Propellertop]

Lots of hard effort tonight! Always nice to beat the Sabres...

 

[bustaheims]

Nope. So, that's 4 games in a row without giving up a goal on the PK. ;D
