They only gave him credit for .5 per goal? I know, Damn typos !!

Honestly I didn't see the other one but ti was started early.

Decent enough first period for Holland. JVR back where he should be -- on the wing.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Finally a fight. I have a feeling there will be a couple more.

In my ideal dream world Holland busts out and slides into that 2nd line role, bumping Bozak down to #3. In real life though we all know that Bozak is going to return and step right back into 22 minutes of icetime and one of Holland or Kadri will get buried with a role and linemates that are both a bad fit.

Three D men left the trailer on that one. Nice goal by the Leafs.

Ahh this is the normal Sabres team we're all used to!

 

[puckhead]

did I hear properly that the sabres have been outscored in first periods by 29-3?
that can't be right.... can it?


oh, shame the other thread wasn't used. the headline was freakin brilliant

I believe that is correct puckhead. They have out shot the opponent in the first period only once this year.

And of course it was against the Leafs!

Buds back to getting outshot tonight.

Nice low hit attempt on Phaneuf by Scott. A leopard never changes...yada yada

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Phaneuf, MacLaren and Orr = douchebags extraordinaire.

Phaneuf crosschecks McCormick so Orr feels the need to go Macho Man Savage.

MacLaren then goes ape shit at McCormick.

Idiots.

I wish pure goons like these guys would just go away.

LOL.

The only reason 210's legs got involved was because he saw Scott at the last second (how is that even possible BTW) and bailed on the hit.

I can't figure out why Scott got a penalty. I don't defend him very often but he didn't do anything.

I agree. I think he's a worthless hockey player but he didn't do anything to warrant a minor, much less an ejection, that I could see.

Sabres are making this a game

So, you want Chris Neil out of the game?

On a side note, great to see Ted Nolan behind an NHL bench again
