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.

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

100% blather is my contribution ...100.

This broadcast crew is awful.  Have gotten names wrong a half dozen times already

You are like a skilled surgeon of analysis, brother.

MDAP!

Also a weak call but I will take it

 

[L K]

That?s a weak call but Marner was interfered with on the zone entry

 

[herman]

I guess crosschecks from behind by the boards are cool now

 

[L K]

Cool cross checking into the back isn?t a penalty.  Good stuff refs!

 

[Joe S.]

I don?t get it. Why does it look like thees 10 sabres on the ice.

I take it that it?s going to be an ugly night in this thread.

 

[azzurri63]

Engvall pass the bloody puck.

Thats what I'd like to see from our D in front of our net more aggressive but everyone thinks you can't do that anymore. You don't know what they are going to call so try and get away with it.

 

[L K]

This fees like having away broadcasters

 

[ZBBM]

I feel like that period really lacked dramatic tension.  I couldn't discern any thematic development as the play unfolded, nor did I get sense that we are building toward anything like a denouement.

Lacklustre at best. Hopefully they pick up their game in the next 2 periods.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Liljegren with a bank shot lol.

 

[ZBBM]

LILJEGREN!!!  off of Craig's pads

 

[L K]

Never pull Liljegren again

 

[herman]

Willy to Lilje with the double bank job  ;D

 

[Guilt Trip]

3 goals in last 5 for Liljegren after 1 in 61 I think the graphic said.

 

[L K]

Willy?.69??nice

 

[L K]

I don?t particularly care for the Leafs to go all out in a relatively meaningless game against the Sabres but wow this is a boring game
