Orr tries to fight Scott, Scott declines.

Don't know what we'd do without him really.

First time Buffalo have scored 2 goals in the first period this year??

It was comical really.  I'm actually shocked the ref didn't give him a penalty.  He had no intention of playing hockey on that shift.  He tried to go out and fight Scott.  He pushed him, he slashed him, he threw a hit at him.  And that was all he was on the ice to do.  Useless stupid fighting and rightfully so, Buffalo doesn't engage to try and give Toronto a chance at getting momentum back.  Only McLaren engages in those fights (all but one of his fights last year the Leafs were tied/leading the game).

10+ minutes without a shot for the Leafs.  No shots since the Buffalo second goal.  Yep.

Offensive zone draw down by 2? Send out Jay!

#Leafs went 9:37 without a shot between their 6th and 7th shot on goal.  Gave up the two goals in that span as well.

This seems to happen pretty much every game.

 

[Tigger]

Was that a Dion own goal and a goal by John Scott? What is this thing?

 

[2badknees]

Stafford has impressed me. Strong on the puck. I wonder if the Sabres would take Orr for him.

Didn't happen like this under other coaches but not a coaching problem.

At least while we sucked over the last ten years or so it was because we had crappy players in the main. Jason Blake etc come to mind.

We have some top end players now and that makes it more frustrating.

Haven't watched a second of the game, just saw the score, but here are my guesses: 4th line on pace for a 4 minute game, McLement on pace for 17-18 minutes and more ice time than all of Lupul, Holland, Raymond and Kulemin and one, or both, of Orr and McLaren are in the game with no fights.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So Reimer is going to start the 2nd period, right? You know, to spark the team.

Paul Hendrick tweet:

Sabres with 9 first period goals this season score 2 tonight

Uh, excuse me, Carlyle won a Stanley Cup once upon a lifetime ago, don't you remember?

WRONG. Holland has 9 more seconds than McClement. By fluke though.

 

[2badknees]

I think its time to break the "first line" up. Like maybe 5 games ago. All three of them have been worse than useless.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Can't wait to hear how badly Carlyle insults his players during the intermission on 24/7.

 

[Boston Leaf]

it really doesnt matter who we play... cause we will be outworked out hit outscored, lose more faceoffs.. it is the same thing over and over
