qwksndmonster Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I dunno. It's Rolston who is moving them around. Darcy doesn't make that happen. How about they just keep the lines the same for 10 games straight and let the players learn to play with some chemistry. You can't have that if you change where everyone is playing every other game. It doesn't work. There's really only been 2 or 3 line configurations so far and Rolston gave them each much longer than he should have. The problem isn't the lines are being shuffled, or that players can't find chemistry; the problem is that Rolston doesn't know how to put even 1 NHL line together. 26 Matt Moulson – 19 Cody Hodgson – 9 Steve Ott ("C") [why is Ott on the first line?] 23 Ville Leino – 63 Tyler Ennis – 21 Drew Stafford [why is Ennis centering and why is Stafford not on the 4th line/scratched?] 28 Zemgus Girgensons – 82 Marcus Foligno – 65 Brian Flynn [Why is Foligno centering?] 25 Mikhail Grigorenko – 8 Cody McCormick – 78 Corey Tropp / 22 Johan Larsson [why is Grigorenko on the 4th line?] Good god it's just a mess.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Interesting numbers: @BuffNewsVogl Say what you will about Patrick Kaleta, but here's a fact. Sabres penalty kill was 93.3 percent with him. It is 75.5 percent without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Not sure why, but the team clearly thinks Z is better off watching and practicing here than playing in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I assume Darcy is trying to stretch Z's 9 game tryout for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I assume Darcy is trying to stretch Z's 9 game tryout for as long as possible. That is my interpretation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 That is my interpretation as well. I assume Darcy is trying to stretch Z's 9 game tryout for as long as possible. Clearly the case, but my question is why. Why is important that it be stretched out? What is being gained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I assume Darcy is trying to stretch Z's 9 game tryout for as long as possible. I'm going to be pissed if I make the treck down to Buffalo and deal with 'leaf nation' at FNC and I dont' get to see Z on Friday. The way Ron Rol is going I figured Z wouldn't play twice in a row so I guess this increases his chances for Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kishoph Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 So now Ennis and Foligno are centers and Larsson is a winger? Ott on the first line? This lineup is absolutely repulsive. It's just a hodge-podge of pieces that don't fit together. Guys are not only switching lines, they're switching positions. Rolston should have them switch numbers every few games also to really try and get things going. Lieno must of had a really good game in the press box, since he got moved up to the 2nd line. I'm going to be pissed if I make the treck down to Buffalo and deal with 'leaf nation' at FNC and I dont' get to see Z on Friday. The way Ron Rol is going I figured Z wouldn't play twice in a row so I guess this increases his chances for Friday. He may be the 1st line center by Friday.
