steveoath Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Next up we have the Panthers. IMPO the season rests on this game. A win and we're 2 pts from Florida with 2 games less played. Who plays? I wonder if Levi gets the nod over UPL or Comrie, I want this to happen but I don't think DG plays him. I think he goes with Comrie. My choice lineup: Skinner Thompson Tuch Peterka Cozens Quinn Mittelstadt Jost Greenway Girgs Krebs Okposo Dahlin Sammy Power Boosh Stillman Jokiharju Levi What say you SS? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s the best lineup they could ice. Mitts seems to have been motivated lately and did well on the first line. Should he and JJ switch to keep him in the top six?

Why would anyone want to move him off the line he has chemistry with? Edited April 2, 2023 by Crusader1969 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Will Thompson be back by Tuesday? If so, I go with Anderson, such a critical game I want the well rested veteran between the pipes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree… Levi lacks the experience of Anderson… but he brings a new level of speed to the position for us… Admittedly based on one NHL game… but notable to all who saw it… Quick blocker and snappy glove hand… Rapid leg sweep across the crease to protect an open net… Youth and skill vs Experience and skill… Levi has plenty of top collegiate experience… and a successful game prep process… If I’m DG, I’m going with the kid Tuesday…. And if we win… more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 The goalie choice is the biggest decision of the season. It's gonna feel like a playoff game. Both sides bringing their A-game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 This season could come down to that stupid kicked goal against the Islanders. My question is what happens at the end of the season, with an old fashioned 4 games in 5 nights? I remember even the best Sabres teams dragging at the end of that scenario back in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie took the 4-3 loss in gm 2 of the season. Luukkonen took the 4-1 loss during a mid-January funk. Anderson got the win --- with 53 saves --- in the late February push to save the season (before the wheels fell off in the first 3 weeks of March) Everybody gets one. Levi is up.

Flashsabre Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I would be happiest to hear Levi is getting the start. Anderson plays well in Florida. Comrie has played well of late (excluding the Dallas debacle)and is in line for a start. UPL just had a 39 save win. 4 headed monster. Maybe Donny says screw it and goes early preseason game style: Levi gets the 1st Anderson the 2nd Comrie the 3rd UPL OT if necessary😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Levi came from Florida's system. I wouldn't put it past Donny to show them what they could have had. 😈 The ultimate would be Levi stoning Reinhart to secure a shootout win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Levi and see what happens. imo Anderson doesn't play another game unless the season is over and we give him last game or last home game as a farewell. Florida will bring the physical against us. This game will really show us if this team has what it takes. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
