Sobotka still on the 2nd line?

So, Gilmour-Rodrigues as the 4th D pair?

Would expect so.

Krueger had hinted that he might be back for the weekend.

Is it just a trick of my memory, or has the Mittelstadt line been quite effective in most of the 7 games without ERod, and quite ineffective in most of the 6 with?

Sobotka has played a minimum of 14 minutes every game this year. His line has probably been the Sabres most effective.

Ralph has said he doesn’t get nearly enough credit and praised him as an example of playing the right way.

What has happened to make you think he might be considering changing it up?

[Brawndo]

Montour-Miller 

Jokiharju-Dahlin

Mccabe-Risto 

are the pairs

Looks like Montour might sit Friday then.

[nfreeman]

So it's still Joker-Dahlin.  Interesting.

I still think you're out to lunch on erod upgrading the second line.

[triumph_communes]

Montour just working in slow, starting on the bottom pairing.

Thought somebody quoted Krueger yesterday saying they were targeting Friday and that he'd then likely sit Saturday.

I think I read that, but you never know how things can change.

I'm sure I'll catch shade for this but I have no use for Paul Hamilton at this point.  He offers nothing of use. 

[Doohicksie]

Maybe Montour isn't ready for tomorrow so they will target Saturday.

Breaking news: Coach stops practice to do coach thing.

I found it useful. It contradicts a certain Idea of Krueger.

That's why it caught my eye.

Also, can we not just recycle "Concept" here? As we did for Kassian.

Or is this more like the Rakru Rubric?

Krueger reminds me of a teacher that would continually hold you to higher and higher standards. What was good enough yesterday isn't sharp enough today. 

[shrader]

Did they call up a forward at any point to cover for the Vesey injury?

I agree with this. @inkman's point on Ham Sammich stands independent of this.

He does have that vibe to him. Otoh, what the Sabres have been doing hasn't been good enough for a while (their W-L notwithstanding).
