sweet.

 

Hmmm, all three identified "Leaders of Men" are potential UFAs :unsure: ‏@BuffaloSabres LEADERS OF MEN:

 

hence no use of #Blueprint

Read into this what you will: Vanek-Hodgson-Foligno are wearing matching red sweaters in this prax. #1 line

 

Well that would be interesting to see... wonder if Foligno can elevate his game enough to stick. My guess is he would be a Lucic style of player (note I said style!) and considering how bad our lines were last year, I am interested to see it. Just also note it is day 1 of camp... who the hell knows what lines will be like.

Line 2: Just remember first practice but it is interesting to see what Rolston thinks going into camp. Bet he watched a lot of video this summer.

I was hoping this would get a chance. Foligno needs to be a top six player for us. Hodgson and Vanek need a big body with some mean.

Feels different this year. When we expect to be good you have a certain feeling of apprehension. Comes with being a Buffalo fan. This year we expect to be bad but yet I feel a level of excitement that may have been missing the last few years.

Who is on RW, Vanek or Foligno? Whichever one it is is out of position.

Thanks for posting -- interesting stuff there. I must admit I'm intrigued by these combos:

 

Hodgson-Vanek-Foligno

Griggy-Ott-Leino

Larsson-Ennis-Stafford

Porter-Girgy-Flynn

 

and for a 4th line, McCormick-Tropp-Kaleta is kinda appealing too.

Vanek has played RW a number of times before -- he shoots righthanded, FWIW.

Hate Foligno on the top line...for some reason if he plays with skill players I feel we'll see 300% more dangling :lol:

I'd hope he'd figure out that he's not better at dangling than those two.

Maybe Foligno has more to dangle... ;) :angel:

 

Leino is ALIVE instagram.com/p/eKdiwOgXv9/

 

But seriously he needs to make that a 1timer and not dipsy freaking doodle... never seen a team so reluctant to one time the puck... ever!

Here are the lines officially from the Sabres for all groups.

Wearing #24, :thumbsup:

 

Ennis-Larsson-Stafford line combo could be interesting.

[dudacek]

If Girgorenko, Larsson and Foligno all play to what we hope, the first three lines look like a good mix.

Of course that is a lot of hope.

[LGR4GM]

Darcy spoke to the media, can't wait to see that vid. Training camp is awesome!

Not surprised, he shoots right but his stated preference is to play on the off wing..

Jason Nightingale:

 

 

 

This is exactly the type of analytics person teams should hire. Someone who loves the game and has played in a few different places, has a couple of advanced technical degrees, and is a total applied mathematics nerd, so much so that they married other nerds. Bonus points for the teaching assistantship; he should be able to communicate complex ideas well.

 

Nice to know we have an engineer/mathematician working on the inside.

 

 

 

Well, it's blue and gold. That's good.

When I listen to the audio link in my browser it's the right one. When I post it, it's from last season. Strange!

Does anyone know how to get either the Sabres videos or the TBN stuff in podcast form?

[Peppy22]

In the Leino interview they talked about a ott-grigo-leino line.

 

I dunno I think I would really love a ott-girgs-leino line instead and put grigo with a scorer like vanek or stafford (yeah i said stafford :D)

[beerme1]

Foligno has supposedly bulked up this off season. I wonder if they told him to bulk up as they plan on trying him on the top line? I wonder also, is Leino injured yet?

Sabres experimenting with Vanek at RW.

 

For a short period Stafford-Roy-Vanek (I believe Roy was the center) was mildly effective. I liked Vanek on the right.

Stafford is an RW. Are you saying he played on the left side for a biit?

 

I remmeber Vanek playing some at RW but from what I recall it was always when we had forward injury issues. I seem to recall Boyes injury resulting in Vanek shifting to RW. I am pretty sure there was at least one more instance.
