16 seconds. Stafford with the draw.
Sad that they don't have one center they can count on to win face offs.
-
Teams like Florida and Columbus are hard working teams like Buffalo was supposed to be.
-
Down a goal with 4 minutes left... get your 4th line out there coach. They won't be expecting that. :huh:
Top 3 lines need to catch their breath from chasing the Florida puck handlers.
-
Please someone explain to me what Deslauriers brings to the table.
Effort and physical play. 3rd in NHL for hits.
-
I really miss the energy that Ott and Kaleta brought. At least they made it interesting.
-
Do Boston do this? I thought they had him at the point
He is also 2 stone heavier than Myers, so would be much harder to move. Most of Myer's height would be wasted and he isn't that heavy
They've done it since last year. Myers is big enough to maintain position, and he has the hands to handle a rebound.
-
I still think they should put Meyers on the wing. Really.
I wish they would put him in front of the goalie on the PP like Boston does with Chara.
-
Glad Nolan finally decided to bench Meszaros. That ought to help, if only slightly.
I thought Beniot was worse. I would've benched both. Put Delaurier back on D, let's see how he does.
-
Did you see the attendance in Florida? Bettman is already putting the Panther's lottery balls in the freezer so they get McDavid.
-
Hehehe! :rolleyes:
Attendance was 18,912. Only 158 short of a sell out. That's amazing support, given the product.
Those were tickets sold. No way they all showed up. Lots of seats were covered with the giveaway tees.
-
I expect they will win in Carolina and Florida, because those are games we wouldn't mind them losing.
-
So flynn is in and foligno is out. Benoit and Meszaros will likely have different defense partners.
Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.
-
You forgot to include the Maple Loafs.
-
Weave, if you read or watched any of the videos you'd realize they have a few guys to take care of these things. Petrecki, Bagnall, Mackenzie, Aliu, JST, Kea are all willing and able.
FYI, Kea was sent down to Elmira.
-
I was suprised at how one-sided that game was. It was like the CBJs were on a perpetual power play. The breakout was terrible, continually kept in at the blue line.
I'd like to see Reinhart and Zemgus switch lines to get more balance. I expect Strachen to play in Chicago, the D looked small.
I fear what will happen when Neuvirth plays, which will probably be in one of the next two games. That game could have been 7-1 if not for Enroth and the posts.
-
I think the Islanders will compete for a playoff spot, and the Sabres will end up with the 5th or 6th worst record. Just good enough to miss out on the best talent unless they win the lottery.
-
McNabb played because one of the regulars was hurt. I still prefer the guys we got back in the trade. The Sabres have plenty of D, they needed some power forwards.
-
Don't forget about Kaleta. Nolan likes him and I expect him on 4th line when he gets back. Larrson will go to Amerks.
-
With Ott gone, Stewart has become my favorite player after Kaleta.
-
So our centers will be
Ennis - Grigorenko - Reinhart - Zemgus
This is what we always wanted, a luxury problem down the middle.
Hell i'd even mover Zemgus to Reinharts wing and put foligno on 4th line duty.
McCormick will be the 4th line center, which means Grigo will go to Roch until Reinhart goes back to junior or there's an injury. In the long run it would be better for Grigo to get quality minutes in Roch and play on PP.
-
I think Strachan is better than Weber.
-
Not having their two best forwards tips the ice a bit.
-
They'll probably keep 7 D, so I expect Strachan to be the 7th who will get occasional games. I don't think Weber is a top 6 D anymore, but they'll keep him for leadership this year and probably pair with Risto. Maybe trade deadline depth for a playoff team.
-
It won't surprise me if Reinhart is sent back to juniors, in which case:
Moulson-Ennis-Stafford
Foligno- Hodgson- Stewart
Deslaurier-Girgensons-Gionta
Flynn- McCormick- Kaleta
And Mitchell or Ellis could be the extra forward to plug into 3rd or 4th lines.
GDT: Florida at Buffalo, 7pm

Good opportunity for Stewart to show he deserves a contract.
