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

[Android 16]

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

 

[batting1k]

With Pirri at practice today on the 3rd line, George Richards said Flash was on the 2nd line filling in for Jagr with Jussi and Bjugstad. I'm hoping Jagr plays with Barkov rather than Bjugstad, at first anyway...

 

[FrolikFan67]

my guess for the PP:

Campbell-Ekblad on the point
Hayes in front of the net
Bjugstad on the left for 1-timers
Jagr on the right

and that speed argument? mackenzie imo is the fastest. then bjugstad with his huge strides. who includes huberdeau in a speed list?

 

[Boothinator]

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.

They scored six on Eddy Lack and Neuvirth has been stealing games recently

 

[spacemanatee]

but that third packs too much offence.

3 of the 5 goals Lack let in Dan Ellis could've stopped, and I think Lindback will start.

Thanks for the info! ACtually, 5 forgot that Empty Net..

Well, Lindback sucks

So apparently Tallon speculated A Barkov Bjugstad Jagr line?

What? That's a MONSTER sized line? interesting prospect though, tro can stay at center once Bolland returns?

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)

I'd hope they try it at least once and see what happens. Bjugstad centering Barkov and Jagr even if it's on the PP. Try it, we need goals.

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

How big is your dog?

Yes! I agree. It can be our own little Lindros and Leclair line. That's a huge line to contend with.

 

[ShootIt]

So I have a feeling Lindback will get a shutout on Saturday.

Dont forget Renberg on that line aswell.

 

[Gentle Man]

Dont forget Renberg on that line aswell.

Jagr can roleplay as Renberg lol.

but wow though, Barkov Bjugstad jagr Gudbranson and petro, if they ever end up being on ice at the same time.

That size

Lindback is a terrible goalie, no way he's getting a shutout.

Lindbäck is the main reason why we have so many hockey goaliecamps for kids in sweden, since people has slowly started to realize that if Lindbäck can be an NHL goalie, then anyone could be a NHL goalie.

 

[spacemanatee]

Lindback is a terrible goalie, no way he's getting a shutout.

then again, we can make even the worst goalie look like a all-star

We had a mini series vs the Hawks recently, so we'll be going from playing an elite hockey club to one that's very much not elite. I feel some of our guys are gonna break out of their slumps and if we get a powerplay Jagr will probably have immediate effectiveness. But it won't happen if we take the Sabres lightly and come out like poo poo and insist on playing catch up hockey.

I feel great about Saturday. So glad we only have to see the Hawks twice a year. They are so elite and make us look not only bad, but hopeless.

 

[ShootIt]

Lindback is a terrible goalie, no way he's getting a shutout.

I was missing the , but every once in a while it seems like our guys will make a backup bust look like Roy

 

[GrumpyKelly]

[barkovcanfinnish]

I'm curious to see how Jagr will do. I don't care what line he's on, just as long as he helps us win

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I should mention again that I have no idea about the starters, but like I said I doubt Gallant would be stupid enough to start Montoya vs Tampa and Lu hasn't played a b2b all year.


Lindback makes sense because Florida can't score, so the tank commander could start him and not make it look like tanking. Buffalo fans are definitely getting nervous.

 

[Ekblast]

What's our record been since Mitchell has been out?

 

[Zman5778]

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

Yep. And it's not just b/c he's shut us out twice in a row this season.

We're a .500 team whenever we DON'T face a team's #1 goalie.

Please start Luongo. Please.........

You think ted nolan is the tank commander? He is in charge of who starts...he's started neuvirth every single game since enroth was dealt. He started neuvirth 3 in 4 just to be an *******.
