Marions Piazza Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) What's point of Thompson on the 4th line? That line was working well the way it was. i dont think hes defensively responsible enough for that. Sheary continuing his slide out of relevancy, not so sure he gets re-signed unless he picks up his play Edited December 18, 2018 by Marions Piazza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree on Thompson Bottom line is Mitts needs to play better, and then his wingers won't have a constant turnover rate as to who he's playing with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres are ... a little dull and a bit lucky? Kinda. We don't shoot a lot but we don't let up a lot of shots against. What that chart fails to quantify is how good those shots are. Hence Carolina is so far in the 'Good' zone despite a mediocre record and 84 goals for. For reference, that's 29th in the league. So, is Carolina really 'Good'? Well, not really. They just shoot a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Thompson works okay in a shutdown role. That's not who I would put with Mitts but let's see how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Don't quite understand the bottom 3 lines but I have to give HCPH some trust cause whatever he's doing is working. BUT. The 4th line of Girgs, Larsson & EROD has been effective, why break that up? The middle 6 worries me but I find solace knowing JBOT is still building, and we have 4 1st rounders in the next 2 years. I really hope Nylander or Olofsson can make the jump soon. If it were up to me I'd roll a youth line of Sheary - Mittelstadt - Thompson and a corpse line of Pominville - Sobotka - Okposo. Go Sabres! These divisional games are always important standings-wise. Don't let them gain any ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would speculate that you want two goalies for practice, and if Ullmark is basically okay but they want to give him a maintenance day to nurse a minor muscle pull or something, you don't need to call up a replacement from Rochester, you use Vinz for your second practice goalie. I fully expect that Ullmark will back up Huts. If Ullmark is truly day-to-day and they don't want him to back up today, Wedgewood is probably on his way up from Rochester as we speak.

I had another chart in mind (where the Sabres show as a little bit fortunate (or maybe just solid in net)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Thompson with the Baltic brothers robs that pair of their biggest strength IMO and means Eichel should be playing Barkov all night.
