darksabre Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Thompson being out is for the best. He just isn't contributing. Quote

How he isn't back in Rochester is amazing to me. Does it have anything to do with what they promised his opportunities would be when they traded for him? Quote

Brawndo Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Posted October 31, 2018 Elie is in for The Ottawa Game tomorrow per Housley. He likes the energy he will bring and Elie is from Ottawa Quote

Even with Phil turning the best ES scoring rate on the team last year into some sort of defensive specialist, Rodrigues was stirring the drink anywhere they put him. ... 1 Quote

Because it seems Rodrigues is being punished for bugging out against Columbus. (Might just be perception & Phil really thought Thompson deserved another game based on an assist followed by a 50 minute disappearing act. And that Elie's energy brings more than E-Rod's all around game. But those just seem like excuses for not dressing the best lineup available to him IMHO.) Quote

The story from P-Ham was that E-Rod was not going to play anyways (they wanted Thompson to get some time), so he asked if he could go home for the baby. Quote

So, during a 3 game winning streak, Housley decides he wants to dress the 1 player EVERYBODY watching the Sabres (with the POSSIBLE exception of his family members) wants to see getting time IN RA-CHA-CHA to see what he could do? IF that is true (Hamilton was apparently the source, so we'll take it w/ a grain of salt), that is arguably WORSE than punishing Rodrigues for wanting to see his kid born.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Ummm ... Wasn't Erod married just this last off-season? I'm no mathemetician, but if that is the case, then something just doesn't add up. Quote

There are at least 4 forwards in tomorrow's lineup performing worse than Rodrigues this season, but it does appear that Phil thinks he should be the fringe 12/13 guy. It's becoming painful Edited October 31, 2018 by Randall Flagg Quote

Randall Flagg Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 I will eat my hat if Elie - Mitts - Reinhart comes close to doing what either Sheary - Sobotka - Reinhart or Erod - Mitts - Kyle did. Quote

I was dead wrong about the Anaheim lines though, so I've got some nice spices that will make my hat more palatable. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Moving Reinhart to the RW babysitter of Erod and Mittelstadt is punishment for not skating through his check on the OT winner last night. Quote
