X. Benedict Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Pretty interesting that Coco is apparently ahead of Pysyk in the rotation. For the tank conspiracy theorists, it's worth noting that Coco seems to be contributing quite a bit more to this year's team than Meszaros and Benoit contributed to last year's team. Coco had a nice game. He's been playing and skating well. He was a solid pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tank conspiracy theorists this year? I think Coco has done pretty well for his situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Pysyk's a righty so I am not surprised to see Bogo bump him. With Franson's power play and shot abilities Pysyk won't nudge him out either. Pysyk should learn some left defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 No Larsson or Reinhart centering the third line? Hmmm. My lines sans 9 and 28: Moulson - O'Reilly - Gionta Foligno - Eichel - Reinhart McGinn - Larsson - Ennis Deslauriers - Schaller - Legwand (Legwand or Schaller at C) The weakness these lines have is no obvious shutdown triplet, but I like it better than Legwand centering the 3rd line. Coco played a very nice game against the sharks. Dude has a decent set of skates under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 He could also be hurt. Ennis, Franson, and he had a rough time last night. He didn't look right at the end. Even at the start of the shift in over time he appeared to be laboring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girgs missed a shift or two after an injury against San Jose, although he later returned. Probably an injury/maintenance day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 There are tank conspiracy theorists this year? I think Coco has done pretty well for his situation I was referring to the theory that GMTM brought in Meszaros and Benoit knowing that both of them would stink in order to advance the tank last year.

qwksndmonster Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I just don't get Reinhart not playing on the top line with ROR. I'm with you. I thought Samson's last two games were very strong. Gionta seems to be back to his old self, but his effort would serve us on any line. Samson's smooth mitts are put to best use when they can feed somebody that's dangerous. (dangerous with the puck, not dangerous because they have sledgehammers for hands) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Zemgus to the Dr today..LBI Not surprised. Get well soon, Gus. Kind of weird though; I remember him taking a high hit and wondering if he'd been concussed. Maybe he twisted something on the way down.

WildCard Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Zemgus to the Dr today..LBI Where are you seeing this? @BuffaloSabres 41m41 minutes ago Girgensons still dealing with some "bumps and bruises" from the hit last game, Coach Bylsma says. Unclear if he'll be able to play tomorrow. @BuffaloSabres 43m43 minutes ago Coach Bylsma says Bogosian looks like he'll be ready to play sometime this week. Honestly I'm not sure I want Bogosian to start against a fast team like Dallas because he'll probably be rusty against game speed, but it's our only home game until next Monday, and getting him on the ice for the lines you want may be huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Byslma reiterated it is not a concussion for Zemgus On Bogosian “He looks like he should be ready to play sometime this week,” Bylsma said. “We put him in a few more situations on purpose to get some 5-on-5 situations and we’ll see how he reacts. We put him in those situations because the game ones are coming up for him.” Bogosian played on the right side in alternating defensive pairs during line rushes, but then saw time playing on the offside to the left of Rasmus Ristolainen when 5-on-5 drills began later in practi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Lines at practice: Moulson-O'Reilly-Gionta Larsson-Eichel-Ennis Deslauriers-Legwand-McGinn Foligno-Schaller-Reinhart No #28. @BuffaloSabres 2m 2 minutes ago Defense this AM: Gorges-Ristolainen McCabe-Bogosian Colaiacovo-Franson Pysyk rotating I desperately hope ROR gets new wingers for the Dallas game. Not because I'm bashing on Gio and Moulson, but we have players that are better-suited than them for (at least an attempt at) containing Sharp-Seguin-Benn.

TrueBlueGED Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 There has never been a more appropriate nickname coined than Afinogennis. When he's on, he's great fun to watch and very effective. But when he's off, yeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on, he's great fun to watch and very effective. But when he's off, yeesh. I really disagree on this. Max always had his head down and was constantly putting his teammates offside because of it. Ennis is a much more complete player, sure Ennis was offside on the disputed Samson goal (albeit airborne to keep from getting jackknifed) But Ennis also created it away from the puck by going to net and screening the goaltender. That's a play Max would never make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
