GDT GDT: Buffalo at Chicago 8:30 pm ET, 1/5/2016

[Huckleberry]

I knew the day would finally come when I would see ROR center the great Derek Grant.

3 point night for grant, by the deadline we turn him into a 1st round pick :p

Ick.

Hope is kindled tonight. McDavid does us a solid and proves to be too much to handle for Boston, and the Sabres win to move 6 points back with 3 games in hand.

 

:w00t:

[Randall Flagg]

I bet we'll see Girgensons in Grant's spot and vice versa by the second period.

[Mustache of God]

I knew the day would finally come when I would see ROR center the great Derek Grant.

 

I'm holding out for the time when Derek Grant centers a line between ROR & COR. The Legion of Who?

Dan Bylsma should be shot in the face.

Yes, because limiting someone's icetime in their first game back after HAVING HAD SURGURY JUST OVER A WEEK AGO is worthy of death.

 

:wallbash:

I think this has less than how ROR is being used and more about how Girgs, Moulson, Baptiste, COR, Schneider, Rodrigues, Terry Murray, Andrew Peters and Rick Martin's corpse are better fits with him than Grant is.

d4rk's comment aside, either ROR is ready to go or he isn't.

Hey boys!

 

 

God, its so cold here right now, brrrr!! minus 28 celcius, buttfreezing

 

GO SABRES

How much is that in Euros?

Have you ever read facebook comments under posts from news pages about people who commit crimes? Holy hell. A small, sweet-looking grandma is frothing at the mouth, demanding the return of public hangings. An old man named Eugene, who signs his posts like he isn't aware that facebook puts his name next to them, suggests a torture chamber. All for someone that robbed a bank or something :lol:

Hyperbole. Metaphor.

 

They both have their place.

Yep.

[pi2000]

BUF has a -20 team goal differential.  

 

ROR is a -1, Grant a -3.   

 

Grant has 3 points in 33 games.

 

Therefore, Grant is one of the better defensive forwards on this team.... as is ROR, which we already know.   

 

I expect good things from this line.   I'll allow it.

Thankfully, this is the only place I get to experience the joys of social media.

This is not how that works.

For one thing, cool your tits. 

 

For another thing, O'Reilly isn't getting "limited" with Derek Grant on his f*cking line. He's going to be KILLING himself to make up for how damn bad Derek Grant is. 

[Randall Flagg]

I think you'd appreciate this place a lot more if you spent time with the other platforms :P

Yep.

 

And I'm the one called a dinasaur because I like physical hockey. :)

That's not how ANY of it works.

First, my mamalian protuberances are as icy as a glacial stream.

 

Second, I'm pretty sure Ryan plays how he plays no matter who he plays with.

[Randall Flagg]

I'd make an avatar bet that Girgensons takes Grant's spot before the halfway point of the game anyway, I don't think it's a big deal.

Ftfy.

I don't think it's cro-magnon-ish (sp?) to say that a guy is either ready to play, or isn't.

 

Is it?

[darksabre]

Well, that's basically my point. If he's playing Ryan O'Reilly's game, then playing him with Grant isn't "sheltering him". It's just playing him with a boat anchor. If anything, it's making more work for him.

the all caps and wall smash would've suggested some warmth to your chesticles.

[3putt]

Love to see ROR on Jack's wing....foolish me, bad me, impure thoughts must repent.

Sorry for shouting. The anti-DD in every thread gets old. Especially when he's doing the right thing.

He's sheltering him by not putting him on the ice all that much. Is this really that hard of a concept?
