the majority of his production comes on the PP.

He's not so good 5 on 5. Stop me if this sounds familiar.

Lehner is in goal, Okposo is still sick. Alex Nylander will play tonight.

Plan is for Nylander to start with Rodrigues & Foligno.

Assuming he doesnt look like bambi out there i think he'll get some shifts with 15 and 23 later in the game


Edit: I guess this means CJ Smith will start with eichel and reinhart?

He was with Kane yesterday, so may remain there. Not sure who slots in with Eichel...just happy it's not Foligno.

This is why we can't have nice things. I know coaches like to ease players in, but I would rather see

Nylander-Eichel-reino
Kane-ROR-smith


How are we going to see if he's good if he's playing with fourth liners

They play the same position? maybe he was just out there on a quick change. Thought i read he split time with the eichel line and the erod line but yea im glad its not foligno either.

"If he is so good why is he playing in Rochester? All we do is put these players on farm teams, burn them out, trade them away. Stop waiting time on nobody players."

I don't think offensive stats should be used to evaluate Dmen as "best".

Did we ever get further details on this?

Because I'm wondering if this is what actually happened:

Toronto reporter: Hey Franson, you went through the rough times with Toronto. What do you think of their resurgence?

Franson: blah blah blah, great to see an original six team back on its feet, blah blah blah, they have great fans, yadda yadda yadda great rivalry with Buffalo, good for the health of the NHL.

Toronto reporter: You are a UFA this summer - would you consider going back there?

Franson: Well, I think anyone would love to play there. It's a great city with a great fanbase, Original Six team, blah blah blah, take it one game at a time, focus on doing the little things right, say four other boring hockey cliches.

Toronto reporter: OMG, did you hear that? Franson wants to be a Leaf again!

There's a corollary between posts on facebook and stupidity. Opinions expressed on facebook will be louder and less thought through than anything said in real life or in an online space dedicated to that topic. At this point, casual Sabres fans who don't watch the games anymore will still comment on Sabres posts saying how they suck.
