Guest Kristian Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 No, but I haven't paid attention to that in a while though. Ruff will be juggling the lines from 3 minutes into the season opener, and all the way through the season anyway, so why bother? Ruff's no. 1 rule : If a line produces - split it up, immediately. Ruff's no. 2 rule : Put your hottest scorer with Connolly. Ruff's no. 3 rule : Play Pyatt. Ruff's no. 4 rule : Play Marty. Ruff's no. 5 rule : Play Pyatt AND Marty.
Taro T Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Anyone know what they will be? Forwards I feel pretty confident about. D, its pretty much a guessing game. Goalie - no f'ing clue. But here's my guess. 1st line: Vanek, Briere, Dumont 2nd line: Hecht, Drury, Afinogenov 3rd line: Kotalik, Connolly, Grier 4th line: Pyatt, Gaustad IR: Mair, Peters (No, I wouldn't choose to put Canoli on the 3rd line, but according to article on Sabres website, that is where he is.) 1st pair: Kalinen, McKee 2nd pair: Numminen, Lydman 3rd pair: Jillson, Fitzpatrick Spare: Campbell Spare spare: Tallinder (Again, I don't think Campbell belongs in the NHL, but I expect him to dress with only 11 forwards on the roster.) Goalie: Ryartin Leightonnen Dave.
shrader Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 2nd line: Hecht, Drury, Afinogenov3rd line: Kotalik, Connolly, Grier I'm not sure of where I read it, probably the Buffalo News, but I saw Grier listed a few days ago with Drury and Hecht. As a BU fan, I like Drury and Grier on the same line.
inkman Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 This is how I would want the lines and I welcome anyone else to chime in with their equally worthless opinion( :P ): Offense: 1st: Vanek, Briere, Afinogenov - Why is JP on this line? To get his usual 18 goals? 2nd: Hecht, Drury, Kotalik - Grit, two-way, a little offense 3rd: Grier, Mair, Dumont - Why not? 4th: Peters, Gaustad, Pyatt - Taylors only chance Defense: 1st: Kalinen, Mckee 2nd: Lydman, Numminen 3rd: Jillson, Tallinder Goal: 1st: Miller 2nd: Biron Spare forwards: Connelly(should be Roy) Spare defenseman: Fitzpatrick, Campbell(Ugh)

inkman Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 Why didn't you finish with your usual? Dave
Taro T Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 Why didn't you finish with your usual? Dave I don't know, too much extra typing I guess.
shrader Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 I don't know, too much extra typing I guess. Good, because at this point, we all know your name is Dave. Lt. Frank Drebin: Police Squad
