I didn't pay much attention to last night's game, but he was with Legwand and mcGinn, wasn't he? Pretty sure I saw a bunch of posts about how well Legwand looked, plus Reinhart with the goal (from Legwand), so despite it being the 4th line, they did more than 2 of the top 3 lines, so that's always good.

In general, we have a lot of depth on the team, so putting a guy like Reinhart on the 4th line isn't exactly the same as it was in years past when the rest of the line were practically boat anchors out there. I just think overall, Folingo is better suited for that role.

I get not moving Deslauriers down for the game yesterday because he's had good chemistry with ROR, but I don't think Foligno has done all that much to warrant keeping a top 9 role over Reinhart.

i highly doubt they would buy him out unless he asked for it.. there are not cap strapped and he is a good vet to have even if he is on the 3rd or 4th line.

The Apple was involved in a altercation with Navin

I don't think Murray signed Gionta with the purpose of providing offense. He was brought in for the types of things that don't show up on the scoresheet and I think he's filling that role just fine.

So tired of hearing football talk in here. Especially when its the same thing over and over

We haven't even talked about football this week remember the bills are off last week so we had a vacation

NFL should try 3on3 for OT.

I doubt they buy him out too, but your captain cannot play on the third or fourth line. I like his vetran leadership, but if we can get another top 6 (I am currently stuck on Stamkos) I dont think he has a spot on the team. Only time will tell, but I think we buy him out.

Edit: His salary for next year is $2m (cap hit of $4.25) so maybe it is better to keep him here.

I honestly didn't notice that he seemed really slow to get back up. But, I'll take your word for it, being that you probably understand the position better than I do.

i wouldn't say he was slow.. he just wasn't hasek fish out of water quick. there were like 2 plays where he went down and got turned around and he recovered a little on the slow side but not terrible.

And I told you all we should of cut or traded Gionta in summer
Dome of you called me Crazy... trade Josh Georges before it's too late that's my last request

I agree. But Foligno showed more offense than I've seen from him in a long long time. All the shots went wide but it's a start.

i don't think its a big deal to have your captain on the third line when they are a vet of his pedigree.

Has two more years after this at 3.9 mil on the cap. It is too late.

I'll pass on Stamkos. What we'd have to give up in a trade isn't worth it and I'm not handcuffing the team with the ridiculous contract he would demand in FA. It's not worth it for this team, IMO.

Have you actually watched any of the games? Gorges is playing just fine right now. Don't try and fix something that's not broke.

do you think he will get a call from the NHLPA on that hit at the end of the game in Philly?

I agree. But Foligno showed more offense than I've seen from him in a long long time. All the shots went wide but it's a start.
- Pope of Pucks

I am in no way complaining about Foligno's game. I just hate seeing that Reinhart has been playing well and still ended up on the 4th line last night. Yes, he did score a goal, but I think having him on the 4th is more of a waste of his talent than it would be a wasate of Foligno's talent.

If I'm not mistaken, it would have to have happened already since we played yesterday.

This is a well thought out and logical response. However i can't see past Eichel+Stamkos so im afraid i have to disagree

China Watkins is hurt
- SABRES 89

Yes its annoying. we get it. Your a hater on watkins
