They'd fly into John Wayne Airport in Orange County. You can get about 10 flight from BUF to Chicago to John Wayne a day.

I know for a fact Buffalo's plane flew into Ontario. Their charter company is USAJet, and their flight left at about 4pm per the Buffalo news. That was the only direct flight from Buffalo to the LA Area. Teams don't fly commercial, so changing planes isn't an issue.

Can't they do the physical out there and ship him his equipment over night? Is he really in Buffalo now?
- LamontSanford

they don't have barney slippers in california?

why do we need four "A's" to go with our captain, three are fine.
- TaroTsujimoto

Sabres have 2 home and 2 road A's. it's just what they do

I think that regardless of who else is on his line I think Hodgson and Ennis will play together tomorrow night.

They were on the same team with Myers and I'm sure in practice they had to have played together if not on the same line in games.

If Hodge doesn't play tomorrow then he will on Thursday against SJ for sure.

I think the circumstances here call for the athlete to suck it up and fly commercial in this instance.

tell that to people who want myers out of buffalo

I don't think anyone wants Myers run out of town. We just realize that he is the kind of player that would command a hefty return.

top-nine=ennis, hodgson, roy...other center: boyes?

this is pretty much the only video that could sum up my feelings

"if i were still around, i'd get him there"

I think the circumstances here call for the athlete to suck it up and fly commercial in this instance.
- Bleed B&G

I'm sure he would fly commercial without a complaint. There's just no guarantee he'd get there in time that way.

Was that trade good enough for you to take that tear away from your Avatar?

Above the cut line in early April would do it, if we tank and get a lottery pick I'd leave it there because as nice as a high pick is, it's still sad.

Well I think that the only reason why Boyes is still on this team is because they were planning on trading Gaustad and and didn't know if they were gonna get a C back.

I think it has to be:
Vanek - Roy - Pommer
Leino - Hodge - Ennis
Gerbe - Boyes - Kaleta
?? - Ellis - Stafford

Who is playing for McCormick? We just sent Tropp down? Adam is down.
and if Hodge can't get to Anaheim in time then who would play for him??

are you sure its not a blood drop

It is difficualt to make up lines because if we do place Ennis at center and on the 3rd line...he is undersized and we will lose every faceoff. I agree with putting CoHo on 2nd line. But we are lackiing centers...TRUE centers. Boyes. Wing turned crap center. Ennis. wing turned decent center. Gerbe. Wing...turned center? Leino. Wing gonna be turned center turned back to wing. We need a true center other than Derek Roy. Chewie?
- vona24

hodgson is a true center. problem is with moving goose the bottom 2 centers are both crap. ennis is wasted on the 3rd line center. i could see boyes going back to rw and 3rd line of gerbe ennis boyes, with 4th line of ellis/mccormick/kaleta with any of the ahl kids filling in when needed.

I would rather keep Ennis as a center and move Boyes back to wing where he at least looks better than an AHL player.

Hell of a lot easier to find players in that role than the top 2.

i agree. i think we will see something like:
vanek hodgson pommer
leino roy staff
gerbe ennis kaleta
ellis mccormick boyes

really dont like that 3rd line...

i agree. problem is if this team is trying to make the playoffs, which i still think they can, that doesnt help them for the rest of the year.

I agree that Ennis is better at Center and that Boyes is better at Wing.

But I just think that Ennis is so much better than a 3rd line center.

vanek hodgson pommer
leino roy staff
gerbe ennis kaleta

McCormick is hurt and did not even make the flight out to the WC. So he won't be there for 3 games. Who the frank is taking his place.

I don't that Hodge could see top line minutes but probably not in his first few games. He needs to get an awareness of his teammates and the system before being thrown out there.
