Elie is in for The Ottawa Game tomorrow per Housley. He likes the energy he will bring and Elie is from Ottawa 

Sooo why is Rodrigues still out. 

Even with Phil turning the best ES scoring rate on the team last year into some sort of defensive specialist, Rodrigues was stirring the drink anywhere they put him.

Was Housley ever denied an opportunity to take personal leave during the season when he played?

Because it seems Rodrigues is being punished for bugging out against Columbus.  (Might just be perception & Phil really thought Thompson deserved another game based on an assist followed by a 50 minute disappearing act.  And that Elie's energy brings more than E-Rod's all around game.  But those just seem like excuses for not dressing the best lineup available to him IMHO.)

The story from P-Ham was that E-Rod was not going to play anyways (they wanted Thompson to get some time), so he asked if he could go home for the baby.

So, during a 3 game winning streak, Housley decides he wants to dress the 1 player EVERYBODY watching the Sabres (with the POSSIBLE exception of his family members) wants to see getting time IN RA-CHA-CHA to see what he could do?

IF that is true (Hamilton was apparently the source, so we'll take it w/ a grain of salt), that is arguably WORSE than punishing Rodrigues for wanting to see his kid born.

I didn't say it was a GOOD plan

There are at least 4 forwards in tomorrow's lineup performing worse than Rodrigues this season, but it does appear that Phil thinks he should be the fringe 12/13 guy. It's becoming painful

Thank God! And, Nelson is the best pairing for Dahlin.  There's some chemistry between them.

If I was coach...

McCabe - Bogosian

Dahlin - Scandella

Risto - Nelson

Beaulieu

...send a f'ing message for once. 

Let me just... go ahead and ... ok, that's better:

McCabe - Bogosian

Scandella - Dahlin

Nelson - Ristolainen

Beaulieu

 

Playing proper sides are important, especially with three dmen that can switch sides (McCabe, Dahlin, Beaulieu).

But can Nelson?

I will eat my hat if Elie - Mitts - Reinhart comes close to doing what either Sheary - Sobotka - Reinhart or Erod - Mitts - Kyle did. 

Our only hope is that the resulting Sheary - Sobotka - Okposo clicks in a big way.
