Pre-Game Talk: Buffalo @ Florida 2/28/15

[MintyFresh88]

Yeah exactly, I hope we trade Flash and Upshall soon. I really like Wilson, is physical, decent speed, and isn't afraid to crash the net with or without the puck

I could be way off, but I would have liked to see Brickley get the call, I feel like he would be better suited for the 4th line role, moreso than Wilson.

Maybe so, I'm not very aware of the type of player Brickley is

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Buffalo is 3-1-1 in their last five games. Going to be a tight game... again.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Just heard it on NHL Radio. Rob Higgins. Barkov Probably on wing since Bjugstad is better at faceoffs

I'll eat dog poo if Barkov ever plays wing in his career.

Get your tooth brush out.

 

[I am not exposed]

Must win game imo.

 

[Big Bjugs]

Not with Jagr bomb baby.

 

[Mogo]

Top 5 fastest forwards on the team right now (IMO) are:

1. Bjugstad
2. Trocheck
3. MacKenzie
4. Fleischmann
5. Barkov

I'd put Hayes 5. His skating looks awkward but he's got wheels for his size

 

[Android 16]

Maybe Jagr can teach Barkov how to play while we got him for 21 games.

 

[batting1k]

Barkov won't be on the wing and neither will Bjugstad. Tallon said Jsgr would play in the top 6 with barkov or Bjugstad.

Girgensons and Ennis are both out.

The worst team in the league's playing on the road with no first line. Even with Montoya it should be a big win.

Is Montoya getting the start?

ok... would be nice to see a blowout win for once

Just heard it on NHL Radio. Rob Higgins. Barkov Probably on wing since Bjugstad is better at faceoffs

Putting our best 2 way player on the wing would be an absolute waste IMO, I'd rather see Bjug on wing (but I'd really rather them both stay at C)

What Shockley said.

Bjugs can still take draws as a winger, playing Barkov as a winger because of that sole reason makes no sense.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Is Montoya getting the start?

Not sure yet, but I'm guessing he will. If Lu starts Saturday he better be in Sunday as well.


I also think the worst goalie in the NHL (Lindback) might get the start under the guise that Florida doesn't score a lot so it's a good time to play him, but in reality it's because Sabres management is terrified of Arizona.


If you read the Sabres board they're all praying Florida starts Luongo

What does the PP look like with Jagr? Assuming he has to play on the first line, does he replace Huberdeau? That would be my suggestion.

 

[Gentle Man]

Pirri is cleared and will play tomorrow.

Good time to experiment to see what works. while I agree barkov and Bjugs will center their lines, I bet we will see Bark Bjugstad and Jagr together, even if on the power play.

If they try it out in a regular line then we might see hub-pirri-flash
Jokinen-tro-Hayes upshall-Mac-Kop/wilson/Thornton

Line obviously changes once Bolland leaves the reverse hyperbolic time chamber

Wouldn't mind seeing Ekblad and Jagr on the points since Bjugstad absolutely sucks at being a point passer

 

[RainingRats]

Jagr has no business on the point.

 

[catEye]

Hmm So Barkov hub and Jagr?
Where would Boyes end up? or is Hub getting demoted cause Hub and Jagr are same position?

Hopefully on the pressbox.

 

[Gentle Man]

Jagr has no business on the point.

I'm referring to more on the circles since the Panthers run a one man point.

 

[Big Bjugs]

Hopefully on the pressbox.

Or traded, come Monday.

 

[Broken Glass]

You guys need a win, and we need a loss. Let's make it happen!!

With the way this team has been playing lately you may need to give us a bit of help.
