shrader Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Beer said: How many more games does Vlad get before Head Coach Ralph Krueger is forced to adjust the lines? 10... 20? I would think Erod or Tage would give us more scoring prowess on the 2nd line. I thought about KO but he seems to be playing well on the 4th line with Larry & Z. He has a bit more jump in his step this season (a least to my eye). With the team right up at the cap, there's some significant amount of cap gymnastics required to replace Sobotka with someone in the AHL like Thompson. That $3.5 million cap hit doesn't just go away short of some very specific scenarios playing out. So if you're going to replace him on the game day roster, it's tough to have it be anyone but the one spare forward, Erod.

Are you talking about the top lines drawing penalties or about those players production on the PP? Because when we talk about the play of a certain line, that’s ES. Special teams are a different animal with different player combinations.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I'll just drop this beaut' right here ... IMO, this is the greatest goal in Sabres history. It was against the storied Canadiens and sent the Sabres on their way to the final. The second best goal in Sabre history was the May Day goal, as it eliminated those most dastardly of the dastardly Bruins after years of futility. 3 1
triumph_communes Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I don’t think the Habs are the type of team we will struggle with beating. Hope they prove me right tonight 1

Not considered: quality of competition. I don’t think the third line has looked as bad as those indicate. Though they’ve gone largely unnoticed on the ice by me, so it’s not too surprising. Eichel has looked the strongest he’s ever looked in his back-checking and d-zone play. I’m surprised to see his line starting that high in the o-zone, I thought it would be closer to 50/50. I also didn’t seem them being that outplayed. I guess you can’t backcheck without losing the puck first.
Derrico Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 So I paid two hundred friggen dollars for nhl.tv and I still can’t get the sabres game tonight. Unbelievable. If anyone comes across a stream I’d love a PM.

I still remember when the French Connection came together and we knocked them out of the playoffs even though they were heavily favored. It was a joyous time way back in my youth. I want to see us begin to develop home ice domination now. They're playing the back up and thinking of the next one at home so let's blow them out!

I'd actually expect you to be completely blacked out in the Toronto market since the Sabres are technically a part of it. You're just gonna have to get a VPN.

The forward didn’t even dig at the puck

I think it’s a national game in Canada, no? Im not blacked out because I’m a Rogers customer, but I think those who aren’t are blacked out. Or at least that’s what I remember from a few years ago.
