Leafs Outlast Sabres In Overtime – Postgame Thoughts

Leafs Outlast Sabres In Overtime – Postgame Thoughts

I don’t think I can ever ever get used to watching them loose to Toronto let’s take a look at this game coming [Applause] up I hate losing to the Leafs guys even in overtime and and for Matthews to get the goal ah just makes me sick and you

Could see he’s so arrogant about it when he gets the goal and but you know what 25 shots on goal to 27 the Sabers really the last period what they had three shots you know you’re not going and he had one shot I think when it was like 4 minutes left or

Something in that entire period anyway we’ll look at the numbers we’ll talk about this and try to make some sense of it here we go okay shots on goal were 2724 for the Leafs they had 61% on the faceoffs the Sabers had 39 they were 0 for one in the

Power play the Sabers were 0 for two look at the hits in this one know wouldn’t it be a fun series if these two played 47 hits for the Leafs 41 for the Sabers if you’re wondering why the game was kind of slow pace is because of that

It was a physical game uh 16 blocks for the leaves eight for the Sabers 14 giveaways for the Leafs the Sabres had 16 giveaways in this I can’t remember the last time the Sabres gave away the puck that many times or I’ve just ignored looking at it 10 takeaways for

The Leafs seven for the Sabers shots and goal per period 10 six buffalo in the first after a slow start then nine a piece in the second and the sabes kind of look flat offensively in the third they just look Loxy dael you know they just didn’t look

Like they had it 10 three Leafs in the third uh like I was saying before and then we go to the overtime and we had a few chances shots are two a piece lease cashing on their second shot that was the Matthews goal 27-24 final there scoring neander gets his 34 from berzi

And DOI at the 229 Mark of the second on a nice rer and yes Victor Olson gets our only goal of the game he scores on a snapshot at 6:31 of the second we go to the third nothing happens we go to overtime and as you see Matthews with his

54th unbelievable career this guy’s having when it comes to scoring goals for Marner and Riley at 420 it sucks I just hate losing the leaves guys I sorry I’m still I’m not still sick no I’m a little a little blob I’m not sick so you know what it it it’s almost like

The team tell me if I’m wrong guys they looked a little in shock one of the boys got traded that’s kind of the feel I felt the game had when I was watching it they looked a little angry they threw 41 hits so they were awake that way but the

Leafs did play pretty damn good though with the puck they were pretty good you know when they had it their their big guns were their big guns tonight they were out there making making plays happen but I wanted this to get to the shootout because I think luuk and him

Would have stole the show in the in the shootout it’s too bad we didn’t get there I hate three on three overtime folks I can’t stand it but hey I’d be the first one celebrating right now if the Sabers would have won in that overtime I would have been really really

Parting about this uh this win I would have had a little fun at Toronto fans expense but Leafs are still full credit for the win you know they’ve uh they finally uh kind of snap the Sabers Jinx for tonight anyway cuz they we’ve had their number for quite a bit the last

Few years kind of you know ever since they beat us in that game remember in Buffalo with like 10 seconds left we turned it over and and um you know I didn’t know lbushkin was back on Toronto don’t ask me me how I didn’t know about that I just didn’t know and I

Heard his name I’m like what so yeah that kind of surprised me so in the game I want to mention Greenway had six hits in the game uh Owen power had five hits in the game I don’t know if enen Powers had a five hit game in his career I should I

Should have checked that before I started talking here Dylan cousins had five hits and Robinson had three gurgenson had four it was a high hitting Affair you know there’s a few guys though like Krebs didn’t have a hit which is kind of funny uh but I thought green Wade played

Exceptionally well in this game he his presence was felt in this game on the ice as you guys seen like he didn’t make many mistakes out there I thought I I enjoyed his game today and I got to ask Charlie if he’s gotten his Greenway jersey yet Charlie

You got to get that number 12 Jersey get on it and uh the blue liners overall um hey you know what I don’t want to complain about the team tonight the numbers are good tonight you know the numbers are good except for the shots on goal in the

Game and it was that type of game there wasn’t much room out there because you somebody’s going to was going to get hurt sooner or later it felt like in this game somebody was going to get nailed on the boards and get hurt that’s just how this game felt when I watched

It but um hey losing to the Leafs there’s just no good way to get around it in a video there’s no way I can get around this there’s no way you know like it sucks when Matthew scored I was like H you know I heard my phone go off and

Sometimes Jim usually texts me sometimes during the game and sometimes Jim will like text me when the Sabres have scored not when they’ve been scored against when I heard the phone go off I didn’t want to check it and jinx it and uh I didn’t check I had my phone flip and I

Heard the the somebody had texted me uh oh maybe the sabers come back here and it was all Leafs in our Zone at this point so I’m thinking the Sabers are going to turn it over go out place and score I see Matthews uh score and then I seen

Jim’s comment which I can’t I I could repeat but I won’t repeat what he said like oh man so yeah it sucks they lost but folks the 500 season continues because that’s what what’s going on this year I keep saying it I think this is an 82-point season not 81

Not 83 when it’s all said and done I think the Sabers are going to be 82 points and we’re just going to have all these question marks it’s just how it feels you know like I was happy they didn’t lose us some regulation I I was happy about

That so there is that I mean there 519 games left it’s not looking good they got to go 15 3 and one 15 3 and one t have a chance to get in 153 and one so we’ll see if they can go crazy to close out the

Season and if they don’t they don’t and uh we’ll just have to figure out in the offseason to fill up the holes on this team and take a hard long look at what our general manager did this year because this year he’s going to be

Judged for sure and so will um so will Granado behind the bench we’re going to have to look at the whole package when it’s all said and done this year mind you lot of lot of hockey left to play guys so I don’t want to toss into tell

Just yet we get a five six game winning streak going if and we need one soon because we have 19 games left if we can do that all of a sudden things can change so let me just check the upcoming schedule we’ll call it a night here hate losing to

Toronto and check the schedule okay so now we have uh we’re in Nashville next game that’s going to be no easy task they playing really good hockey right now then we get the Oilers who are killing everybody it seems in Buffalo then we got Detroit and then we got Detroit again

I’ll talk about that in a sec we got Detroit then we have the Islanders at home then we’re in Detroit so we got to sweep out Detroit to have a chance cuz we could still catch Detroit no matter how hot they are they could start they

Could start no diving that team so there is a bunch of hard games coming up these are all playoff teams that are coming in we got Edmonton Nashville Detroit Detroit Islanders Oilers Canucks Seattle bubble team you know there’s all sorts of crazy hockey we have to play then we got

Calgary bubble team Ottawa out of it New Jersey just fired Lindy Toronto so that’s how we close out our month if we can um get on a roll guys I’ll say it again got to get on a roll we can’t just play 500 hockey we don’t have a shot getting in that

Way a lot of things can happen in 19 games I’m not going to give up but realistically I’m not getting my hopes up either I’m just going to like root them on see what happens game to game so guys the next time we’ll be talking provided I can get in here

Tomorrow and do a few things I just want to check yeah I got the pregame tomorrow so I’ll jump on that tomorrow morning probably and then the the games at 8:00 tomorrow night and then we have the trade deadline I don’t think Adams is done I just don’t I I’m

Guessing I’m guessing the game that that tonight guys no joke that could have been aoso gurgenson last game that could have been Olson’s last game as a saber tonight this is all possible I pretty sure we’re going to try and move out move on from some of these players and

Um you know what if we even get prospects back I’ll take it really get Draft Picks and Prospects it’s fine really for those guys it’s okay A guy like middle stat the way he was going we had to get an NHL ready player that is high caliber and a high draft pick at

Least and we did we got a guy you know as we know with Byrum that’s a fourth overall pick so we you know we kind of swapped a high drive centerman for a high draft defenseman we’ll see what happens there but if we can get anything resembling close to a second round pick

For any of those guys I’ll be shocked really I’m not expecting to get more than I don’t know a third rounder you know a third rounder maybe and that that would be it really I a third rounder a second rounder and a fourth no a third a third and a fourth

I’ll be thrilled for those three guys if we move on from them cuz it opens up the salary you know and I’m I’m all for that right now I’m I’m All For Change guys I’m all for change so I want to see some new Blood come into our dressing room

I’m excited to see Byrum I am I’m excited to see how he’s going to fit in with the team but I think we got a I think we got a stud so we got a stud back we didn’t just lose one we got one back so I’m excited about that let’s try

And get something going at the deadline besides just moving on from the guys that we’re moving on from I want to try and trade some of our pieces inside our organization that are below for something NHL ready right now that can help us because we could use it you know

That’s it guys you have a good night I’ll see you guys tomorrow I’m taking out her uh her her Royal Highness she wants to go out and I’ll see you guys uh in the pregame tomorrow have a great Night a

Losing to the Leafs is always hard work for sure but overall this was still a fun game to watch as UPL looked solid once again..thanks for watching and see you in the afternoon tomorrow 🦬
