nfreeman Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Well, to get to 100% they'd need a PDO of ~104% for a 10-15 game stretch. If that happened the GF% would go up quite a bit. I really hope that happens! (Could probably calculate it using an estimate of expected shots on goal and so forth but even though I am off work today I don't have THAT MUCH time on my hands. :rolleyes:) To me, both those guys are in the same mold - big, fast, hit hard, pretty good skill but don't have a 'high end' hockey sense so they end up out of position a lot, sometimes quite badly, which sort of negates the shock and awe of their speed and power. Would like to see Bogo paired with someone like...oh, I don't know...wait for it...maybe...Mark Pysyk! Actually, would like to see Bogo with Gorges on the 3rd pairing and Kukilov with Franson or Falk on the 2nd. Good stuff here. Keep it coming. Now where would we find a guy like Mark Pysyk? From my perspective I think Kulikov is a pretty good defensemen, and is just coming off injury. I have seem enough of Bogo to think he is the true anchor on that pair and to officially send in my application to join the Bogo Bunkertm I really think Kulikov is a big step up from Pysyk. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Haha - funny fella. Cheers! Don't black out, though. That sort of talk makes me feel my age - I get all paternal and sh1t. MODO! That smell! mmmhhhh, phat pannys! Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 I really think Kulikov is a big step up from Pysyk. I don't but it may be that the Sabres need someone more like Kuli than Pysyk. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 MODO's in the house and he is ready. This is good, scary good. I predict a big win tonight. GO SABRES!! Quote
dudacek Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Question: how come Kulikov gets a pass for coming off injury and Bogo doesn't? Answer: has Bogo ever not been coming off injury? Quote
WildCard Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Question: how come Kulikov gets a pass for coming off injury and Bogo doesn't? Answer: has Bogo ever not been coming off injury? He was permanently disabled from birth. Wait for the 30:30 on him Quote

Ogre Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Canes fan, front row seats :p You're one of my favorites at finding these. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 I really think his one timer needs to be a staple of the PP, yet it often seems as more of a last resort than anything. Edit: DAMN PHONE!!! You're welcome, NS. Thanks. I have just re-read a number of my own posts. The miss-typed (?) words are terrible and I can't even blame the damn phone. Oh well, too much work to go back and fix 'em. Quote
nucci Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 From Sabres.com...are we really gonna see Des and Grant in the line-up together? I just threw up in my mouth. Sabres projected lineupMatt Moulson -- Jack Eichel -- Kyle Okposo Marcus Foligno -- Ryan O'Reilly -- Sam Reinhart Evander Kane -- Johan Larsson -- Brian Gionta Zemgus Girgensons -- Derek Grant -- Nicolas Deslauriers Jake McCabe -- Rasmus Ristolainen Dmitry Kulikov -- Zach Bogosian Josh Gorges -- Cody Franson Robin Lehner Anders Nilsson Scratched: William Carrier, Justin Falk Injured: Tyler Ennis (groin), Cody McCormick (blood clots) Where else would you throw up?

Winston Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Twitter now says Franson is scratched. Perhaps Falk is in for him? Quote
Taro T Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Twitter now says Franson is scratched. Perhaps Falk is in for him? That's what they were saying on the broadcast. Not sure what the issue w/ Franson is. He was in the warm up skate. Quote
WildCard Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Why are Bogosian and Kulikov on the same side of the same side of the ice WHY Quote
The Dominator Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Holy Eichel. Looked like a man on a mission Quote
Kristian Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Way to suck donkey balls right out of the gate, boys.... Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Eichel isn't out on PP1. I just ordered a Dan Bylsma voodoo doll to torture. Quote
WildCard Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 he's not on either pp how???? Quote
Brawndo Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 And he isn't on the second unit either. YOU Dan Quote
Kristian Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 I'm getting so sick of Bylsma. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Posted December 23, 2016 Just think of it this way, the sooner they go down 2-0 the sooner Goober lets them play. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 He actually did it. I just don't see how that helps the team. Quote
WildCard Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Byslma vs Bogosian, who is dumber? Quote
