GARTH: Face The Face

FREAKORENKO GARTH FREAKORENKO!

The answer is obvious.

Ott needs more than a handful of face-offs per game. If the guy is winning 67% of his draws every game, then he needs to take more draws.

I'm sure Lindy has some bull$h!t excuse why Ott's not taking more draws.

Vaneks out. Great, because this team gives me so many other reasons to want to watch.

Leo and Sekera only D in the minus column. Move Myers with Leo and Sekera with Regehr. 10/52 stay the same.
26/19/29 stay
9/25/21 if this lines produces a goal Grigo stays
82/63/42- let gerbe and Ennis skate around and tell Foligno to park his ass in front of the net
32/55/36- stop giving hecht 18 f*cking min a game

Would you guys do a Tyler Myers for Ryan O'Reilly swap? Would Colorado do that swap?

I'm so sick of lindy and his hard ons for lame ass players. Hecht has has 3 solid scorin chances the last 2 games and looks like he isnt even trying. It looks like he is not trying not to score on Ryan in practice because he doesn't want to hurt his feelings.

What is the point of player trades when they are managed by complete idiots who have been given a lifetime pass on their jobs?

I was fine with the Hecht signing as long as he stayed on the 4th line....he's all ready creeping up the roster as everyone predicted. If grigo is only getting single-digit numbers, send him back so he can play hockey.

We absolutely do not need to move all of our defenseman out of here as some people keep suggesting. We do need to move one or two and possibly a forward to land a good forward from somebody. Which is something we need to do. And Grigo needs to play on the second line and play those minutes. No question.

As soon as Myers leaves Lindy Ruff he is a guaranteed all-star, there's no point. Ruff could ruin Crosby.

since lindy said he is gonna juggle the lines and that he is keeping the first line the way it is. what i would like to see

vanek hodgson pomminville
grigorenko ennis stafford
ott hect foligno
x skaters gerbe kaleta
then scott who gets 5 mins a game

Why are they carrying Brennan and not using him? When he made the team (and his production in the AHL), I assumed he'd get in the top 6 every night with some PP time. And because he's been playing in the AHL, you'd think he'd be ahead of the curve in terms of "game shape" over some of the other guys. It seems like a waste to let young players sit.

so youre saying if Grigs stays is based solely on if his line gets a point next game?

the lines you came up with are fine btw

because he is a one trick pony....

The only reason he is up here so so somebody else can claim him, they dont want to lose him for nothing.

He's not a very good skater, poor in his own zone.

Interesting.
I though he was on a 2-way deal?

If grigo can get anyone on this team going on the score sheet they should keep him. Foligno is not a top6 guy, I knew he would struggle this year and Ennis needs to be sat. Stafford I think is working harder than the other 2

they will

You think they're going to send him back? Did you hear something?

Trade Grigerenko and whatever to get Ryan OReilly
As long as Ruff is the coach. Offense will suffer.
What a joke putting Hecht at center the whole game and letting Grigo rot on the bench. Ruff answer was he was scared of Eric Staal. Are you kidding me.
i say get Oreilly because he is a def. center a ruff kind of guy.
I feal sorry for Grigo being stuck in the Ruff no off. shell. He probably should go back to juniors and at least get a chance to play hockey again

A two way deal doesn't make any difference for waivers. It has to do with the amount of games you've played in the AHL/NHL levels.

he is, but since he isnt on his entry level deal anymore he has to clear waivers.

they will

Its the same sabres as last year with worse centers
