GDT: #6 – Bruins at Sabres – Sat Oct 18, 7:00PM ET – MSG-B, FX-CA – WGR

[mikemcburn]

But watching is good for his development, right?

Maybe it's more about protecting him a bit? Bruins play a physical game, and to be fair Reinhart *has* been shoved around easily by far less heavy teams.

 

[Clock]

It'd be neat to see them win this one.

 

[Beerz]

Hoping we see a Stewart-Lucic fight.

Task #1 - less than 40 shots against.

Task #1 - less than 40 shots against.

task #2, more than a 30% on a face-off`s?

task #2, more than a 30% on a face-off`s?

Last in the league w 40.3% Hadn't noticed that.

Task #3: score a PPG

It's like this. Intellectually I know it's all but impossible to go through a season without a regulation/OT win. But I'll be damned if I think they have a chance on any given night.

It's like if you rolled a 10 sided die 82 times, the odds are infinitesimal that you will get through without rolling a 0 (about 1 in 5650, to be exact ), but I'm sure as hell not counting on it on any individual roll.

Nolan says Flynn will play tonight, Reinhart will sit. #BOSvsBUF

Might as well send Reinhart back to juniors, then.

Niklas Svedberg starts for Boston.

I'd like to know how many regular season starts Rask has made here since he became the starter. Seems like we always get the backup--for good reason--be it Khudobin, C. Johnson, or Svedberg.

 

[Alicat]

Lines for Boston per morning skate:

Lucic - Krejci - Gagne
Marchand - bergeron - Smith
Kelly - Soderberg - Eriksson
Paille - Campbell - Fraser

To be fair Chara has elite speed and acceleration. Hodgson is employing the glide and reach speed boosting technique. Not much more he can do on a play like that.

Exactly. He's drafting behind Chara at a pretty good clip.

Hoping we see a Stewart-Lucic fight.

Stewart would be wise to steer clear of that matchup. After seeing his penalty box performance against Montreal, I'd be scared stiff of Milan's powerful right hand.

It's strange. You'd think they would have played the backup against Montreal (Tuukka is terrible against the Habs) and Rask against us to get him back on track.

Season 2012/13:

@BUF: Khudobin in all 3 (4:2)(1:3)(0:2)

@BOS: one each: Rask (7:4) Khudobin (3:2)

Season 2013/14:

@BUF: Johnson in all 3 (2:5)(4:2)(5:4ot)

@BOS: Rask in both (1:4)(1:4)

Answer: none.

 

[5 Minute Major]

All on board with the tank but this is a game I'd like to see the Sabres win.

 

[mikemcburn]

I wonder if the 3rd period lines stay tonight.

Nolan had swapped Gionta and Stafford.

Mitchell/Girgs/Stafford
Foligno/Hodgson/Stewart
Moulson/Ennis/Gionta


The seemed to play a little better after that switch


I would love to see Larsson up and on Girgs' LW.

"Nolan said he’ll likely shuffle some of the lines and it looks like the defense will stay the same. That would mean Tyson Strachan and Nikita Zadorov would join Reinhart as scratches."​

 

[Takeo]

Whelp I'm going to take the plunge and watch this game until FSU/Notre Dame starts. I hope to be entertained for a period.

 

[SundherDome]

I wouldn't play Reinhart today either let him watch the game from a different angle. We don't need someone hitting a Bruin and them gooning it up with Sam.

Go Noles!!

 

[Fearnot]

5-2 bruins and they do a whole bunch of dirty crap like nut spears and boarding then embellish a hit or 10.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

What an absolute mess of the Reinhart situation. Grigorenko 2.0 there, if you're not gonna let the kid play with good players or give him situational time on the PP he is useless up here then.

This organization has NO IDEA how to develop players. What a joke. I have no idea why more people aren't upset by this. This is not helping Sam or even Nikita at all by sitting around. Let them go play 20+ minutes in juniors if they're not gonna play here.

Especially when they have him on the 4th line.

 

[Gras]

Allright that sounds very reasonable, never thought about it like that.Still, both players are young and need to play alot so that worries me a bit. There is a better place for that discussion though so I wont go more OT.

Thank you for a good answer!

That is basically what Nolan said in a press conference a few days back.

 

[couture23]

I just don't know why Zadorov hasn't gotten ONE GAME in. Like really? Not against Carolina? Florida?

You can sit Benoit one ****ing night Teddy.

 

[couture23]

I can't believe I'm blacked-out from watching Boston @ Buffalo in Canada.

I absolutely despise you Rogers.
