Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Expect Boll in for Jenner on line 4, FWIW. This must be the game when the youngsters get scratched.
Question of the day: Does Zadorov play tonight?
My gut says no, as he would only play 1 game then be sent back to London.
We'll find out during the morning skate.
Who would he sub in for? Tough to sit McBain a game after he had a goal and an assist--and should've had two goals, but for a bad call. They won't bench Weber or Hoff. I just don't see a spot for him tonight.
Hey this is RonRol we're talking about hereYou can't sit McBain after the last game he had.
I don't mind benching Grigs, mid game if you don't like his hustle and effort. But at least have him in the lineup here.
I'm almost to the point where I'm ****in praying for injuries to Rolstons dream duo of Flynn and Porter just so we can get solid ice time for the guys I want to see in Larsson and Grigorenko.
Wanna ***** about hustle and compete levels yet Stafford and Ennis are still fed big minutes while producing not a god damn thing.
I'm starting to hate Rolston already
He isn't going to make it in the NHL, it is pretty obvious.
@BuffNewsVogl
It looks like Mikhail Grigorenko, John Scott and Alex Sulzer will be the Sabres' scratches tonight vs. Columbus.
Let the kids play, let them make their mistakes together and let them learn from it. No need to sit Grigorenko. Yes gift him a roster spot, gift him ice time. this whole "earning" ice time is stuff you do in juniors, but not in the big leagues.
sit Stafford or Ennis to send a message.
I disagree completely. Ice time, especially at this level, should be earned. Grigs coasts way too much. I seen him battle once against Tampa and that's it. Stafford had far more compete than Grigs, but is hated due to fan perception and prejudice.
Stafford made some errors but he was at least impressive on Tuesday. Grigs sitting is a good choice. Make him angry, get rid of any sense of entitlement.
Based on today's practice lines: Grigorenko is scratched, Scott is playing, one of McCormick or Porter will be scratched and the other will center the 4th line. I don't see why McCormick would play for Porter when Scott's playing anyhow. I'm just glad to see Larsson will get a legit chance again, hopefully this time it lasts throughout the game.

Am I missing something? I dont see any indication of that at all. He filled in on the top line for Hodgson who was getting a maintenance day. The only comments from Rolston in the linked article suggest Grigs is improving.
Where is there any indication of him being scratched?
Edit: see the Vogl tweet now, although Buffalo News Hockey Dept is not something I usually rely on for factual Sabres info. I would like to know what he bases this information on. I dont care much if he is scratched, I just am typically skeptical of Buffalo News.

He's 19 and you're already so certain of this?
