WOW the Leafs went 3-2-1 last year against the Sabres? Felt like you guys won every game.
Mentioned this earlier in the thread haha, we've actually had that record against them for the past 2 years It feels like we always lose against Buffalo but really that's because we haven't given them a real "beatdown" in a long time, every game is tight, and before 2011 we would lose almost every game against them. Glad things have somewhat turned around, though unfortunately that frustration of losing has transferred over to Boston, Philadelphia and Florida.....
Boston gives us problems because of their roster- They are a big bodied/physical
team that likes to chip and cycle, we struggle against teams like these because we are horrid at making the first pass out or simply skating it out (although better last game), Boston eats us alive. Any chances we do get were stimied by Thomas in net.
And Scrivens should be in net. He won the game. There's no reason why he should be on the bench.
Last year Reimer came in and got starts for no reason even tho Gus was unreal in January. This shouldn't happen.
Agreed. Even if Scrivens didn't look all that great, he got us the W, which is what counts at the end of the day. I don't believe starting Reimer would give us a better chance of winning the game.
lets say Leafs lose this game
is everyone going to cry tank nation
and the sky is falling
Ohh you'll get some for sure. This fan base is too big not to, I'm going to expect anything from "OMG TANK MODE!" to "Relax guys it's only the second game"

It feels like we always lose because the games at home are extremely close, and the games in Buffalo are gong shows. I can't stand playing in Buffalo, I have no idea what it is with that arena but strange things happen in there. Weird bounces off the boards, high scoring games, guys scoring on their own net...Ahhh
I'm already thinking about the last two games we played against Buffalo last year. That was crazy! Buffalo looked really good against Philly yesterday. We need to tighten up our defence, avoid taking dumb penalties, and good goaltending. Hopefully Kadri will get more minutes. GO LEAFS GO!
