Seriously, what's going on with Buffalo?

Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

Leafs won 9 of 14 games without Matthews. So how can they top that when he returns..... He gets 2 goals and an assist. Tavares also gets 2 goals. And Marner gets 3 more assists! Marner is seriously gonna get 60 assists this year.

And before their next game, Nylander situation will be over. Either he signs, is traded, or out for year.

If rather deal him than have him sit. Especially since leafs window is now. Get that top line dman! I dreamt weeks ago they got Subban. Lol, like that'd ever happen, but would be my fave leafs deal ever.

Penguins-Avalanche game last night was fun. Crosby scored a natural hat trick to erase a 3-0 deficit, but the vaunted Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen line struck yet again, with the captain netting the game-winner midway through the 3rd period. 6-3 final score for the Avs, who have won 6 straight and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games.

The top line are the first trio since 2005-06 to register at least 100 points in the first 24 games of the season.

Tom Wilson did that thing again.

After he caught what, 14 games to start the year? He’s gonna sit the season now and he should. Honestly I’d just be tired of seeing him and throw him out of the league.

I don't follow the NHL like I did and don't know Wilson's history all that well, but the blindside hit looks like it was to the shoulder and not the head. It was cheap, but I don't think it was to the head..... I may be wrong. Believe me, I don't like excusing Capitals players from anything. It doesn't look to be Brad Marchand level tactics. That guy is scum on the ice.

No suspension for Wilson.

Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

Yeah, I figured once I watched it. They don’t suspend on intent. Trash hit but didn’t check the boxes.

Nylander saga is over. Signs for 6 years, about 42m. Will basically be a 7m cap hit after this year, technically speaking its 6.995 or something like that.

If Leafs couldn't get a top dman for him, I think they never will get a top dman. Better hope one of their AHL guys turns into one.

Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

That hit was late as hell... I don’t know why this league surprised me. I spun the wrong wheel I guess.

Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

Should be a good one tonight. Leafs in Buffalo. Sounds more like a home game for leafs than when they play in Toronto.

And first time since the 00/01 season both teams are doing so well in the same season. I'd rather this as a playoff match than Leafs VS Bruins.


Edit- Really should be playoff series. Crowd sounded like a playoff crowd. Back and forth game ending with Matthews scoring game winner at end of OT! Hadn't even thought of it until finally minute of OT, but leafs haven't had a shootout yet. We haven't gotten a chance to see a shootout lineup with Matthews, Tavares, Marner.

That game the other day definitely had a late 90s, early 2000s Colorado/Detroit feel

Re: The Official 2018-19 Season Talk Thread

Sigh.... I remember when you didn't want to face the Flyers in OT. Gosh... I miss those days.

Hitchcock turning the Oilers into a semi-competent defensive team overnight is equal parts amazing and horrifying.
