Is Lehner going to get in a groove? Franson seems disappointing from a points perspective, how's he playing otherwise?

he is on pace for 25-30 points, about his norm except for the shortened season

Good thing about Reinhart getting hurt when he did is he could have the All Star break to fully recover as well. I expect this team to do well after the break before regressing again.

Reinhart has been hit a lot this year, and I wish him the best but I don't know how long or productive a career anyone can have getting pasted regularly.

Moulson on the top line! He breaks out tonight with 2 goals (you heard it here first).

I do not buy any balony about Larsson's play at center on the 3rd line making Girginsons expendable. Llarsson is not 3C on a serious contender.

the 3rd C should be able to pot some goals, to be sure. But that line lately has looked real good.

too bad about Reinhart, kid needs to beef up a bit especially for the board puck battles ...but that was a collision even if he was beefed up he probably still comes out the same.

This will be a tough one for the Sabres tonight. Don't think I like COR on the 2nd line but not many other choices. Hopefully Reinhart won't be gone long, but any concussion should be taken seriously and he shouldn't come back till he is 100%. Lehner looked sharp vs the Avs (minus the first goal where he sprawled on the ice when he didn't need to). Hope he can continue to play well against a team that has had some recent trouble scoring goals.

"With a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty

That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed when the gales of November came early."

Gives me chills and makes me want to drink to not think what it must be like to drown in freezing water.

if he is not the centerpiece in a trade for a top winger or top pair d man, there is no reason to move him

I am sure 99% of the people agree on that

Totally agree Homie, and since it would most likely take both Girgensons and Pysyk to get Drouin, I don't do it as I want a proven NHL forward back for the combination of positive impact Girgensons and Pysyk have as a duo for the team.

While Drouin could be that, he is not that now.

I hated that the NHL basically catered to them. What made the most sense at the time would have been to just move either Columbus or Nashville into the southeast division and leave the rest of it alone.

The Hawks/Wings rivalry being split up is a travesty, IMO.

If you like porters Geneesee has a salted Carmel porter that is delicious. And Saranac just put out a S"mores porter. It's not amazing but good and different. Go Sabres. 3-2 Buff.

Sounds delectable. Wish I could get it here in Tampa. Have to settle for some Cigar City or 7venth Sun.

He's only 20 and a rookie really??? Stamkos had a weak body when he first started just saying look at him now

I love Saranac, I love porters, but I strongly dislike that porter. They made it taste awful.

What you all SHOULD be going after is Saranac's Caramel Porter. It's one of my favorite porters, top 10 beers hands down.

Was just on a cruise that had a few diff Cigar City beers, I happened to enjoy them all. That being said, Saranac is a better brewery, imo.

If that is the cost for drouin, it is no wonder he hasnt been moved yet.

Two no doubt NHLers that may have not found there exact role yet, for a likely NHLer that will either succeed or fail at the only role he is able to play.

One or the other, and maybe a pick. I would still be on the fence.
