Awwww, poor Eleven. His Favorite Little Flyer is on the third pair.

 

Glad Samson is back at center. Not fond of Zemgus on the 4th line.

 

What is the point of shuffling lines to random combinations during practice? To create as little chemistry as possible? Does Bylsma think he's Belichick?

 

He is definitely not having the year he had last season.

If Grant is on waivers then who takes his spot in the lineup tonight?

 

Tonight will be Jack's 100th game

 

Byslma to apparently treat Reinhart as a double agent tonight: 3rd line center and top 6 winger

 

What does that even mean? Does Gionta get half the shifts then?

True, I was looking for speedy wingers to keep up with Jack.

 

Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste next season perhaps?

 

Next season perhaps, but Eichel carrying the puck is likely to either drive the net or he'll pull up wide and hit a trailing winger in which case the slower speed will help out! :)

 

But I see this as a lineup to gain possession and get it to Jack to score.  Gio will probably cycle a lot in front of the net (he's pretty good with deflections) and Foligno will work the walls and those two have worked together pretty well lately I think.

 

I'll be watching...can't wait for more hockey.

I think with Ennis on the cusp of returning the Sabres had to make a choice between Grant or Bailey. I think it's obvious Grant has maxed out his NHL potential while Bailey hopefullly can continue to grow.

McCabe & Laine?  ;)

 

As much as I like a good hit, both of those ended up seriously affecting the hittee and dampens my enthusiasm. I hope Laine fairs better than Umberger.

 

Also, I'm surprised McCabe didn't get a 5-minute major for interference on the Laine hit. ;)

Bailey and DLo are both playing, making Grant unnecessary.

Why?  He had the puck on his stick.
