Game Coverage

Ok, we are tied after 2. GO LEAFS GO.

Leafs leads 2-0 after 1. Goals from Kulemin and someone named Kadri? I think that's his name.

Leafs and Senators again in a dance that's getting a bit too familiar.  This is your period one game thread. Keep it cute or put it on mute. Dance track after the jump.

7:30PM ET: Leafs-TV, NHL-N (US) This is the third time the Leafs have played the Senators this preseason. The two teams have each won a game but the first two contests heavily featured rookies for both teams. Tonight's Leafs lineup sees most of Toronto's starters

The Leafs pick up another 2 points in the standings meaningless victory in the preseason, sneaking past the Ryan Miller-less Sabres. Actually, the Sabres were without Vanek, Myers, Pominville, Connolly, and a bunch of other NHLers. Outside of the Leafs top line and some nice shooting by Nik Kulemin, the

Leafs 3 - Sabres 3 after two at the ACC. Fresh ice below.

7PM ET: Leafs TV, NHL Network In the reverse of Saturday night's game the Leafs will be icing most of their opening night roster while the Sabres are bringing along their prospects. Personally I'm impressed the Leafs kids hung on and only lost 3-1 to a

Well, that wasn't too wonderful. Kulemin had a wonderful goal. But in the end the Sabres were everywhere and triumphed. It wasn't that brutal. We carry on. Post game reaction thread until a profession prepares a better recap.

After 2 periods the Leafs trails the Sabres 3-1. Though, how about Kulemin's goal? Wowsers.

End of 20 minutes and its 1-0 Buffalo. Which ain't no thang. Second Period, ahoy!

Another game! Be happy, hockey has returned. For better or worse, its back in our lives. It ties us all together, like a non-nuclear family of sorts. We all have something to talk about. We can pull our hoodies and jersey out of the closet and toss on our team

* Phil Kessel looked good again and scored two goals. Shame there's no replay in pre-season. * Tyler Bozak made a ridiculous pass to set up Versteeg's powerplay marker. * Two defensive breakdowns let a 3-1 leads slip away. * Dan Carcillo is scum. Wouldn't mind seeing him

2-0 LEAFS. VERSTEEG AND KESSEL. WOOOO.

Hey, a scoreless first isn't always a bad thing.

Keeping the truculence train rolling the Leafs take on the Flyers once again. Let's hope the fists are flying and the goals are being scored. This is your period one game thread. Keep it cute or put it on mute. Dance track! By the Eclectic Method is Daft

7PM ET: Leafs TV There's basically no media coverage for these games; last night's 3-2 SO stunner doesn't have the rosters or shots on goal available from NHL.com for example. Luckily our Toronto beat reporters are dishing out the lines. The biggest news

The long-term impact of anything done in the pre-season is likely suspect at best. However, I do believe that the effort that is displayed is a big sign of preparedness especially for a club that had kids in a rookie tournament,  veterans that have been practicing together for a couple

Holy Crap I love Versteeg.  What amazing puck control.  I can't wait to see what he does in the regular season.  I was also very impressed by Reimer, and I liked what I saw from Caputi again tonight.  Kadri started to pick it up... when he was given

Well it seems like it's been a weird game... but I like how Caputi looks. Goal for the Leafs scored by McKegg. Continue discussion below.

The Leafs haven't been too bad. * Gustavsson looked drunk the first two times the puck came near him and kicked the puck into his net. But then he stopped Hartnell on a breakaway. * Danny Richmond looks pretty good with the puck. He might be on the Marlies. * Greg

Today sees the homecoming game, as it were, for Kadri in London Ontario.  For inspiration for this GDT, I googled the City of London's official website, and discovered that London appears to be just as boring as I've always assumed.  So instead, in honour of Jared&

7PM ET: Leafs TV, NHL-N (US) So far the Leafs have punched faces all game every game. Tonight they'll be playing a team that also likes to punch faces as opposed to one that prefers to turtle or hide in the dressing room for an entire period (sup

The only fair thing to do after a performance like last night's is to force the Leafs to tear apart this juggernaut. No one likes watching a sport dominated by one single team. The Maple Leafs 4-1 win was a marker to the rest...of the players in

That went rather well, yes? I do believe the Leafs displayed proper levels of truculence. All and all it was a great game and the team sure had a lot more fire under their skates tonight. Name your three stars.

Its 4-1 Toronto and we still have another 20 minutes on the clock. Let's do this. GO LEAFS GO.
