We gotta get more out of Vesey. I don’t give a poop about Sobotka. These lines make much more sense
- lulags

I don't want two trigger men on the top line, and Skinner isn't a good passer. I love him driving his own scoring chances on the second line.

Okposo needs to play. He is so much better than honestly 4-5 forwards on this team. His contract makes people silly. When you consider him 1 on 1 with Sobotka, it's no contest.

Honestly, I'd consider moving him to RW on line 2, put Rodrigues in for Sheary, and put DPR back with the twins.

Based on the practice lines, erod goes in for Sheary and the rest stays

The Sabres are 2-0-1 ...... people here are acting like they are 0-10.

Everyone relax ...... it’s okay so far.

Montreal will be a good test. We need to see how this team responds this year.

The Sabres stole a 1 point last night .... precious years we get crushed 6-1.

Getting points on the teams worst date is not the worst thing in the world.

Yup. We need to stay even keel. If we magically turn out like Tampa. Okay then we can talk like we have won and have some of aura around the Sabres.

The godly leafs lost last night and have an overtime loss.

Clearly both teams suck

Totally random, but, I cant believe there are people who dont like listening to Marty Biron.

Guy is an international treasure. Marty is great on the Instigators and on the broadcasts. If the NHL had the profile of the NFL, he would be on all those dumb national roundtables on Sundays

Agreed about Biron and Duff. I think they are both excellent.

According to bob McKenzie. Big buff didn’t train or skate all summer long

So ....... he’s either retired or coming back at 275 lbs fat and out of shape

I have a hard time listening to Biron. It might be better if he talked slower but his accent and the speed of his delivery is just unpleasant to listen to. I miss Roby.

if all casey is going to be, is a third line center, when do you sell?
- homiedclown


We are 3 games in to the 2nd NHL season of a very talented kid

WAY WAY too early to be even thinking about this

Here’s what we’ve got/coming:
1C Jack- franchise center
2C/3C Mitts- projected 1C talent
3C/2C- Cozens- low end 1C / high end 2C talent

Our 6 best forwards do NOT have to play on the top2 lines
Being 3 deep down the middle like that gives us the lineup flexibility to fill in the wings with ok players like Sheary, or kids like Asplund or even Tage (maybe?), and still have 3 lines that can score for us

That kind of depth will provide us with good matchups in a nightly basis

Having Mitts or Cozens be our 3C isn’t bad

FITZtake #6
-depth at Center is a really good thing

James Neal for Lucic looks like a good trade for the Oilers.

Yup.

Always wanted him here.

He’d be good with Eichel too

But Lucic did punch Zadorov in the face his first game with Calgary.
