I think the 4 forwards is useless. Put Risto and Franson and then Pysyk and McCabe.

Hopefully he can build on it and get going. Though he's started off seasons slow before as well, so I'm sure he'll rebound at some point.

Serioulsy, I know Coliavaccio is scratched but he has a cannon

Ennis is much better when skating with some space, when he starts circling with the puck he gets himself in trouble. He is making better decisions this period that's for sure.
- Stripes77

Better decisions until that turnover.

*EDIT* Late

McCabe and Pysyk.

Our transition game looks good though. Clog the neutral zone and attack with speed. It's refreshing to see.

Reinhart can not stand up to these guys. Looks to me he'll need another year down.

Not being negative, not saying he's a bust by far. But his board play and one on one's is non existent.

So did Jeff Finger

Why did he split up Eichel and Kane...I just don't understand

Eveyone gets to play with everyone. Chemistry and talent be dammed.

I think he's up until Gionta is back healthy. It doesn't hurt to get exposure right now. He's a half step behind it seems.

Oh for sure. Imo he's sent down when gio is back. First call up as well.

And it'll totally suck if they rot him in the box

I think the main issue is the speed of the game, and to be honest, sending him to Rochester isn't going to help that because that game is played at a slower pace. It's more physical in the A, but slower overall. He's done a good job of providing a screen in front of the goalie during our last 2 goals though, so he's doing something right.

But he loves them faceoffs, and he's got more points than most of the team so far. I'm not ready to send him down just yet.

Leading in shots. Hey that's a plus.

I was going back and forth about having a defenseman sent down and keeping Sam , but with how the D is shaky right now I think he's sent down to have more defensive options.

Another thought that could send him down is if Roch starts to struggle. They are playing fairly well, but I could see him going down to help them if Sam is still behind the play on the big club.

Who got the better contract ?

Columbus day is not a holiday. And in no way should be compared to Veterans day.
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Columbus Day is a federal and municipal holiday. No banks, post offices, mail delivery, garbage pickup at least in my town.

Is it kind of a stupid holiday? Sure. But it is a holiday regardless of your thoughts on the matter.

They needed a holiday between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, so they decided on Columbus, one of the most misunderstood people in history. I saw a poll a few years ago and something like 70% of people thought he was Spanish.

poop yeah

Have to be pretty crazy to fight Boll
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

I think it was Deslauries who absolutely destroyed Boll last year, 2 years ago maybe? Somebody on the Sabres anyway. Kaleta had a couple good fights against him too.

Edit: It was Kaleta against Dorsett
