Nice passing there, but probably one too many.

Yikes.  Poor Lupes.

MotM:  Grabo HM:  Kuli, JvR, McClement, Kadri, Kessel, Reimer - lots of mentions for a good team effort.

It's odd and kind of heartwarming to see a Leafs team playing fundamentally sound D. Good all around game tonight.

Feelin' the Komarov love - the guy just goes constantly.

Not bad when he's out there.  Definitely would say his minutes are being limited.

That's a fair point.  I just thought it seemed more coincidental and Komi's balance was off.

Eh, that was shoulder on shoulder with a bad result.  Leafs caught a bit of a break there.

My guess is Kadri, Frattin to the 3rd line.  I expect Lupes is out for weeks :(.

Doesn't sound good on the Lupul front.

Oh no, 5-on-3.  Incoming frustrtration.

That was a nice power rush.  Which is a SUPER weird thing to type about the Leafs .

Nice series by Reimer there - reminded me of two seasons ago.

Further on Kuli and Grabo being out of sync, it looks to me like they're still adjusting to ice-size difference.  They seem to be playing as if they still expect a little more room to work - understandable given where they've been skating. May take a few games for them to readjust timing and...

MotM:  Phaneuf HM:  Kadri, Bozak

Hard to really fault much.  A few mistakes, Buffalo capitalized on two.  Never really ok with a loss, but this was a decent one as far as they go.

Man, Phaneuf has been good tonight.

Y'know, Buffalo is a team that, with a key addition or two, could be a playoff darkhorse.  I like their makeup.  They need a little offense from the blueline, though.
