Game #60 Review: Buffalo Sabres 5 vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 2

Your game in ten:

1. After the first 5-10 minutes of the first period, periods one and two of this game were often like watching a prolonged Buffalo power play. The Leafs were passengers, couldn’t break the Buffalo cycle, and didn’t seem all that interested in digging in with how lethargic they were in their foot races and puck battles. This was as bad as any Leafs hockey we’ve seen this season.

2. The numbers: 39.8% CF is the worst showing of the entire Leafs season from a possession perspective despite the team trailing for most of the game — and unlike the win in Ottawa, the offensive-zone time aligned much more closely with the shot attempts.
