Nah. We all know how this will play out. 9th or 10th.

Sure, it would be great to make the playoffs. But this team would die in the first round.

I really wish we could land one of those top 3 kids in the draft.
- burner087

We could and should. We will lose Saturday and if a few teams win their game in hand we will be right there

They've been paired together on US Nat'l teams
McCabe is a good talent, but he's a "puck mover" type...
Not to say he isn't good defensively, he is
He just isn't very physical

With Jones added, we could have a young defensive corps that could grow into the league's best defense 3-5years from now

Ehrhoff-JONES
McNabb-Myers
McCabe-Pysyk

Yes, please!

Yes...Darcy will confirm it for you.

are we going to trade a 2nd for boyes again?

So all I read from Garf when Buffalo got John Scott was how Scott had never lost a fight. I've seen him fight 4 times tis year and he has lost 3 of them. And it's the 2nd time this year he has just skated away while fight was still going on.
- imsorry66

McClaren was pleading with the ref to end the fight. Scott abided and skated away. But your avatar is amazing, so now I agree with you.

No, but it's always fun beating the Leafs.
- Powerslave

Im not so sure.

The Leafs haven't made the playoffs in over a decade, and I never felt any satisfaction beating the Habs or Sens when we're out of the playoffs and they're in.

lost 6 of 7. They suck

buffalo shoulda got a 9 min pp...Kaleta didnt throw a punch, how do u get 5 for fighting when you dont throw a punch?
Not sure how you can see it differently but oh well.
- Homer

Homer... I think you posted more responses, tonight, than you have in the last 3 months! ... and none of them were related to the usual: "... hey Homer, have you heard anything about some trades"?
Classic! .... oh, there must be a shortage of coffee at the local Tim Hortons!

Just finished watching the game, tough loss, but man that was a fun game to watch.
My only complaint, hated gunnersons game and really dislike kaleta.

Gawd that guy irritates me!
- bryant

then you must hate Orr because they are the same guy

They start sliding and the Sabres start winning. Odd isn't it? 3rd year in a row isn't it?

What game were you watching?

McLaren was chirping to the refs to break it up.

It's not just from tonight, never been a huge fan.

Plays all tough, but ducks when Orr tries to fight him.

I realise you may say phaneuf does the same but atleast he isn't a dirty player.

Edit: Kaleta also runs a player and flies into the bench, the falls (dived) when Fraser touched him
- bryant

Did you say PHaneuf is not a dirty player... wow you are wearing rosy colored glasses

Im not so sure.

Well it hasn't been a decade for us, so you can't compare.

Like I said, it's always fun beating the Leafs.

Loved watching Hodgie and Pommer playing pitch and catch behind the net before Pommer scored.Love the chemistry on the Folignio line as well.I dont see the coach breaking that line up myself.Ott what can you say he our Buffalo Drury on steriods.Can he do anything wrong ?

Take a penalty to lead to the first Leafs goal? Other than that he was awesome. I have under appreciated him lately. He comes up big

Not good enough to win in the playoffs not bad enough to tank.

For Buffalo.. i would prefer tank because we don't need to dwell in mediocrity forever like Toronto.

- Whatnot78

who will be this seasons Boyes, Zubrus, Bernier or Torres

Toronto is just waiting until next year when they sign Perry AND Getzlaf....oh wait...

Not good enough to win in the playoffs not bad enough to tank.
- buffalo 1

if management had the balls they could make it happen.. move out one of the "star" and play enroth more often

LOL...

Watch the first video that Garth has posted in the blog of the Scott vs McLaren fight...

Look at the replay part at about :21 seconds... you can see the refs are trying to calm things down and Scott clearly pats the one on the back and says "good job"
