does he sniff the hof?

While we didn't exactly control play, I thought we played pretty well. We did two things that we haven't done in previous games where we got a ton of shots and no goals: get premium scoring chances while limiting the amount of the other team's premium scoring chances. Gotta walk before you can run - I think we're trending in the right direction.

We did. But better teams won't be giving us the easy goals we scored either.

I like how we are playing team defense right now

if he plays 3 more years, plus this year

there is a very good chance luongo ends up 2nd in all time wins for a goalie

HOFer?

Id say people's (not mine) only argument against is no cup

What injuries does Toronto have? They have such young studs that people like to boast about...yet their record is worse than Buffalo's - a team with a legit top end prospect sidelined plus another 20 goal scorer with broken ribs.

I'll take standings over stats, no matter how much I'd like to see a leaderboard filled wit Buffalo players.

People can hide their emotions about Toronto but you can't tell me you're not jealous because you can see that team is going to be very good when you watch them ..

apparently he can do no wrong everyone talks about how great of a scout he is you should know these things

Maybe he is right and your wrong . How those bets of yours working out for ya ?

He's the only one in the NHL...

Since this place has been SO joyful lately, I'd like to point out the ability to...you know...NOT respond to people you don't like/don't agree with/think are nuts/annoying/etc.

I'm not asking for everyone to be best of friends around here, but consider the bigger picture of what forums are as a whole - a community to bond with people and discuss our passion. Constant negativity does nothing to keep people coming and contributing, so add a little consideration beyond just the internet-standard of spewing poop at every chance you get.

The site (unfortunately) doesn't have an ignore function, but I'm pretty sure human brains are capable of it.

There is one person who keeps going and going and going with it but , he's not here today as of yet. You weren't here when he was.

I don't watch them except a handful of times a year. I don't covet what others have to an extent like that.

This is the approved method of handling leafs

they were not just wins, they were 2 games where the sabres clearly outplayed the other team from start to finish

I had a really busy weekend since I was moving all my stuff, so I didn't get to sit down and watch the games like normal. Figured I couldn't really speak to their actual overall play due to that. Thanks for clarifying though. I thought (from what I saw) that they seemed to play really well.

Would hope he would just based on that. But he wasn't that shiny of a player to the hockey gods in charge of it.

Mogilny probably should. However, I do fear, with some of the recent inductions, the "Hall of Fame" is merely turning in to the "Hall of Very Good".

Well I guess you'll find out on Thursday yes they suck but it's like the enjoyable suck Iike the team is fun to watch . Unlike the boring play and Our Arena library

Was kinda what you had hoped they would start the season like . 4 games later . I am ok with it. Like I mentioned , this week will be a good test

So you are so frustated with "your" team's performance, despite being "better" than the biggest rival this team has - but you enjoy their team. Methinks your concept of fanhood is skewed.

Not saying you (royal you) can't enjoy other teams' play or anything, but for all the "excitement" that team has, they're a tire fire a magnitude worse than Buffalo's defense/goaltending.

Could have used "wishing" ?

If they beat Toronto:

"They SHOULD, look where they are in the standings!!"

Agreed.

My hope is to get 4 out of the 6 points. I'd take 3. If they can keep themselves at/around .500 each week, that's something to build on when Eichel and Kane get back in there.

OK the point I'm trying to make leafs, Sabres are bad but one team is fun to watch and the other is like watching a classic New Jersey game

That "fun" style will start to wear on people after a bit as well. Yes, right now they're scoring goals like crazy, but they're also giving them up like crazy.

It's insane to think that a team could have a guy that scores 4 goals in one night and still loses the game. If you're actually a fan of that team, you're pissed off because the defense/goaltending (mostly defense) is such a mess.
