Sabres @ Leafs - Apr. 12th, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

[Frank E]

I think some folks are really just mentally preparing themselves for another quick exit from the playoffs. 

The team is imperfect, so it's easy to take shots at imperfections so that if they bow out early you were right.

This is a really good hockey team, and I don't think any team is hoping they have to go up against these Leafs.

I want to give some folks a hug here instead of poking fun at them.  It's OK, it's a pretty tough conference to come out on top of, so don't be too upset if they don't make it out of the East.......unless the issue is goaltending because if it's the goddamn goaltending that loses them the Cup I think we should burn down the Bank.

I don?t think only showing up during losses to gloat about how bad the team is is a coping strategy to be honest.

As usual, Frank uses his scalpel to cut through the Outer Blather to get to the rich, fatty layer of Inner Blather.

Ummm the puck was in the bench how is that a penalty

 

[ZBBM]

This is bogus.

But a good kill anyhow

 

[herman]

Impressive Ceci impression by the captain

 

[herman]

Refs in fine form tonight

 

[azzurri63]

Refs in fine form tonight

That's not a penalty. Man that's absolutely brutal.

 

[ZBBM]

What a pass by Marner, but no soap.

 

[ZBBM]

JT off to a slow start...

 

[herman]

JT off to a slow start...

3 giveaways in like 2 min

 

[L K]

I get Rielly touched the Buffalo player but I didn?t really see that being with his stick.  It was his glove.  That?s two bogus calls already

 

[azzurri63]

Giordano has to shoot that.

I find he's slowed down doing everything unfortunately.

 

[ZBBM]

Whoa, nice shot.

 

[azzurri63]

Thanks refs.

 

[herman]

Good shot finds a hole

 

[L K]

Nice hold
On Tavares there

Probably so. 

Although you can't really bench your captain in OT, I really don't like it when he's out there with acres of open ice.
