Pommers/Vlad to the fourth. Odd man scratched.

KO to the third.

Or scratch all three and give some Amerks a shot. It worked for CJ and Pilut. Lightening might strike again.

You’d have to waive forwards other than C.J. for this to happen. 

You gonna send Okposo and Pommers to Roch?

You've been cracking me up with your suggestions.  ?

The trick is to make enough intentional jokes so that all of my posts that are unintentionally a joke have plausible deniability.

A bigger, better puck handling Kotalik who will actually back check.

Reminds me of a much taller Rick Middleton (not that I like any Bruin, ever).

Still leaves us needing that 2C and I wonder if the plan is for Mitts to fill it next year.

I wouldn't mind giving Thompson a crack at it.  He has played center in the past.

Scratched, not sent down

I’m not falling for anymore jokes. Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice and you can call me Ocasio-Cortez.

But if your serious I apologize and welcome your thoughts on it as I am unfamiliar.

To scratch em all you'd have to send two more players down owing to roster limits. Even if you send one of Beaulieu of Hunwick down (gotta keep one extra D), there's another forward who'll have to be removed from the roster.

Well that throws a wrench in there. I know what I would like for most of the forwards but not sure how to round it out. I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t get tat GM job. Here I thought they were discriminating against good looks.

Pilut looked really good tonight.

The Legend of Skinner Grows...……….for how much and how long?

Reinharts CF 77% topped all players.

Botterill's interview revealed nothing we didn't already know. 

Beer night ?

I would add Tage to your list.  He was really impactful tonight.

C.J. just called it “Roch” in his post game interview. 

For those that were arguing about it in another thread recently. 

???

I caught that ?

I'm not Thorny.  From Wiki,

Quote

Tage Nathaniel Thompson (born October 30, 1997) is an American professional ice hockey center for the Buffalo Sabres

Yes, he's played center.  And there are times when he still looks like one.  I'm not saying he's the answer to 2C or anything, but he might be worth a look.

It's shaping up to be a 3-man race for 2 wildcard spots between Buffalo, Montreal, and NYI.

I still hold out hope for a top 3 finish in the division.

For the most part.  If he and Dahlin are on the ice together though for any more that 2 minutes the rest of this year that will have been that plus 3 minutes too many.

Those 2 are REALLY scary when out together.

Don't.

Don't be such a stick in the mud.  They've been hot, they can get hot again.  They will probably improve as a team going forward just due to better knowledge of the system, better chemistry with each other, and individual improvement among the youth movement.  They may falter, but they're not going away.

I won't argue, but they are possibly our top pairing of the future.  I don't mind putting them out together when we have a 4 goal cushion.

They could be.  Dahlin WILL be 1/2 of that pairing.  I'd guess that he ends up paired up with McCabe when he is on that pairing because he's earned it.  But Pilut could be that partner.  Waaaay too soon to tell.  They both will grow from where they are - Rasmus significantly.

But in 2 minutes together the past 2 games they've given up a goal, a breakaway, and had Ray convinced that Drew "the Staph Infection" Stafford had roofed one.  That pairing is nearly as scary as Meszaros-Benoit.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
