GDT: [#47] Buffalo Sabres @ Dallas Stars, 7:30 PM CST (FSSW)

[Smelling Salt]

As far as forwards go, I'm only really happy with the "3rd" line here which seems like an interesting experiment, but whatever. Poor Guri.

Janmark i would think and hope plays in Dowlings spot if he plays.

Gurianov better not score again cause that might get him sent down to the AHL

Seriously though splitting him and Hintz up is a terrible idea, especially against a team like Buffalo that would probably struggle to contain their speed defensively. Only reason Gurianov is even in the lineup though is probably cause Janmark is sick. I'd assume he doesn't get more than 5 minutes icetime tonight at even strength. Same goes for that whole line

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Faksa injury has migrated from upper to lower body, lol.

 

[BigG44]

I was thinking about what would happen if Janmark could play after they posted the lines this morning.

We know Bones has been high on Janmark, but Janmark is pretty rarely used as a center. I was already wondering if we could see Pavelski slid back over to center. I don't think it's out of the question if Janmark can go tonight that you could see Janmark slide in on LW with Pavelski and Kiviranta. Then Hintz slides in at center between Gurianov and Perry.

 

[WhoahNow]

I don't see the lineups as a big deal, ice time is more important to me.

The stars are arent going to break up: Benn-Seguin-Radulov and Cogliano-Faksa-Comeau unless of injuries. so there is only so much can play around with to get the other lines

[MrHeiskanen]

I'd break up Benn, Seguin, Radulov. They don't really generate THAT much and their defensive play together has been less than stellar. Time to put Perry with Benn/Seguin.

 

[Kcb12345]

Lmao another icing within the first 10 seconds howwww

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Buffalo should ice it more.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Another Jamie Benn PP turnover.

 

[serp]

Only pass to Benn when he gets a chance to score not when he has to pass...

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Benn on the half wall with the puck is a guaranteed turnover. 100%.

 

[serp]

How did that get there ?

 

[Limp Dekes]

Dickinson... doesn't get it out twice.

 

[Kcb12345]

All that good physical work along the boards and just can't finish it off and get the puck out.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Razor excuses.

 

[Henderson33]

If Gurianov just did what Dickinson did he would be sent to the minors during intermission.

Let's see what Dickinson gets.

 

[Kcb12345]

Is that not a follow through?

 

[Limp Dekes]

That's a follow through...

 

[MrHeiskanen]

How is that not a follow through on a shot? WTF?

 

[serp]

Follow through ? Not even that high.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Bishop is over playing shots like crazy.. calm down dude

 

[The Tourist]

Nobody on this team wants to shoot the puck. I've already lost count of how many decent shooting opportunities we've passed up to make another pass and then lose it.

 

[Kcb12345]

Bishop is making me nervous
