Doohickie Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 One for Bergie and one for Gus against the Sens. Can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they don't score very often at all, they're doing exactly what we all envisioned - if you look at the shot attempt numbers for them, they're both winning the battle, AND keeping both shots for and against low (only 20 minutes fewer than the ~90 the Jack line has played together, but less than half of the total shots taken by both teams combined in that stretch). That's an incredibly valuable tool to have at your disposal. It's bonus that Larry has rebounded and had a very nice season so far.

Larsson had 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 36 games for Buffalo in 2016-17 when he dislocated his wrist and elbow on New Year's Eve and required season-ending surgery. He showed no ill effects from the injury when he returned after signing a two-year contract on July 8, 2017. Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Larsson was never McDavid, but he was a better player before that injury than anything he showed after up to this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed....and just a month ago most would've replaced him in a split second including me. Is it not a contract year also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say that, but he just wasn't right last year. Several Sabres had career-worst years, and he was one of them. The other notable was Okie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked MUCH worse last year than he did prior to breaking his arm once he'd been put back into a full time C role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, according to the Sabres PR department, he was wonderful. Do you have any LEGITIMATE sources that claim the compound fracture of 2 bones was completely healed and didn't affect his play?

Been a VERY long day. But there's NFW that injury wasn't bothering him last season. How would I "verify" his injury wasn't fully healed? You aren't going to believe that, so there really isn't a point to continue to talk past each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 So does anyone know why TT started over Berglund last night? I.e. was Berglund banged up? Or was he just a healthy scratch in favor of TT? As I mentioned in the GDT, I don't think there was much if any loss of effectiveness in the checking line last night. Larsson and Zemgus were both quite good and TT did fine too. If Berglund was healthy-scratched, that would be twice this year, right? And the Sabres have him under contract for 3 more years after this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would love to see the zemgus-larsson-berglund line reunited and not messed with as the checking line. With Casey and ERod coming on lately as the 2/3 centers, we should be working to identify their best line pairings to maximize offense and leave the Larsson line to cover tough matchups and provide some consistency. They have been very effective at shot/chance suppression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A compound fracture is multiple breaks of the same bone usually piercing the skin... its nasty. Dislocation is when either the bone like the elbow is out of its joint. Combined is a bad thing and gonna take awhile even with all the plates and screws to comback from and regain stength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
