Around SBN: Which Players Will Join The 3,000-Hit Club?

BuffaSlugs: 3 TO: 2 (OT)

The Buffalo Sabres still have the Leafs number, once again beating Toronto. A solid effort that lacked an insurance goal in the third leading Buffalo to score late and force overtime. Luke Schenn was supremely present and Viktor Stalberg continues to make himself on of the most lovable Leafs. But it was the Sabres who would be successful in the overtime.

How hot is Jonas Gustavsson? Fuhrealz.

Thoughts? Grievances? Air them here.

No, that’s excessive. Besides, the fallout would destroy Toronto as well. Just run a 10 gallon tank of propane on a timer-fuze. Equal wastage of the HSBC, and everyone will just assume it was a Buffalonian(?) anywasys.

You know it really wasn’t that bad a performance. Just some ill-timed mistakes on which Buffalo were very opportunistic. Stalberg and Kulemin were the best Leafs tonight.

Also, fuck Buffalo.

Is there any legitimate reason for the 4th line to be out against the Sabres’ de facto 1st line with 7 minutes to go in a game we’re up by 1? I thought that was a terrible match-up choice by RW, and it burned us with the Hecht goal.

Yeah that’s when it was, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t preceded by an icing, because otherwise I wouldn’t have been thinking, “why is the 4th line out there against Roy’s line?”

Maybe… Mayers is usually much safer with the puck than that, however.

piss poor breakouts and defensive zone coverage kills us again. lindy fucking ruff is a great coach though. hear me out, he constantly takes whatever players he has and establishes a tight system. ryan miller helps too.

Okay guys

I’ve done a lot of research, and I’ve been wondering why Buffalo has our number. I asked what the one difference between our teams were, and I realized that they have a legit black guy. We have what, Mayers? I’m more black then Mayers is. All of our answers lie in getting a black guy.

by SPENCEMAN on Dec 21, 2009 10:07 PM EST reply actions  

They also have an invertebrate on their uniform.

Which as far as I know, is a unique advantage among NHL teams, and might explain why they in particular have our number.

No, but they're not actually

Or, maybe you could go with the really loose definition and still say that in this battle of the invertebrates, slugs > vegetation. No other team has a vegetarian mascot do they? The wild don’t count.

Like I said on Twitter we went into a terrible weekend schedule wise and came out with three points after Toskala basically threw away the first game. Not great but far from horrible.

Good perspective..

I recall hearing people suggest we might not win a game until 2010 so I’m not exactly thrilled with recent events but I’ll take it.

Why do we do this to ourselves?
