Leafs Fall Apart Against Sabres

It looked as though the Leafs had the game in the bag as they were up three goals against the Buffalo Sabres but dumb penalties and careless play led to the Sabres tying the game up and eventually taking the lead. The Sabres ended up with a six to four victory.

Ed Belfour was out of the lineup again after his ailing back began to bother him after Thursday’s win against Columbus. Kidd played very well in the first half of the game but led in several soft goals allowing the Sabres back into the game. Should Belfour be out any considerable length of time, the Leafs will be forced to look into the goaltenders still available on the market and consider making some offers as Trevor Kidd is not strong enough to carry the team into the playoffs.

The Leafs take on the league’s worst team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, tonight and then have a big game against divisional rival Boston tomorrow.
