Better to have swapped Foligno & Moulson?

Foligno - Ennis - Stafford

(didn't they have a good stretch together once?)

Mitchell - Girgensens - Gionta

(looked like a solid defensive trio that was spending quality time in the ozone)

Moulson - Hodgson - Stewart

(Moulson/Hodgson clicked for a good stretch after the Vanek trade, maybe it was Stafford who needed to be swapped out of the line?)

 

[Husko]

Would love to see Reinhart play with Girgensons and Stafford

But that would be logical and we all know that doesn't fly here.

 

[ZZamboni]

Let's see what will be more entertaining ....

Going to Chef's or going to the game. I think I already know the answer.


5-2 Baaaaaaastin

Gionta, Hodgson or Stewart with a goal

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

But that would be logical and we all know that doesn't fly here.

Gotta earn it with the 4th liners brah

Certain players should have been benched instead of Reinhart after the last nights dreadful turnovers in front of the net..

Here's what I would do.

Ennis-Girgensons-Stewart
Moulson-Hodgson-Stafford
Foligno-Reinhart-Gionta

If Reinhart has to sit, I guess Mitchell would slide into that spot? But consider what would happen if you put Ennis with two guys who plays balls out, no nonsense type hockey. It might just force Ennis to adjust his game. Gionta and Stafford could also be swapped, not really decided about that.

 

[DazedandConfused]

I wouldn't look at it as Reinhart getting benched, as much as it is Murray extending his time here to watch, practice, be around the organization etc...

I don't like having him with 4th liners and no PP time though, when he does dress.

 

[mikemcburn]

Foligno...Stafford...

Don't forget Stewart - that was UGLY!

With Foligno & Stewart's turn overs and Hodgson's sticky stick in the d-zone, it's surprising they weren't at least -3 for the night. The gods favour Enroth. All hail Enroth.

 

[Arthur]

Foligno...Stafford...

Be very wary doubting their ability as they can do no wrong,

yours sincerely

Jack Edwards pokes fun on NESN

"Some may say Buffalo is already playing for next Spring's draft"

Zemgus gonna poke the bear tonight.

Does Buffalo usually play both anthems regardless of whether a Canadian team plays?

 

[ForsakenSabre]

Yessir

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Does Buffalo usually play both anthems regardless of whether a Canadian team plays?

Yes, every game.

Does Buffalo usually play both anthems regardless of whether a Canadian team plays?

Yes, every night no matter what.

 

[mikemcburn]

Two shifts in, and shots are 4-0 for Boston. Ennis & Gionta both being rolled over in the o-zone. Maybe not such a great duet for the same line after all?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Does Buffalo usually play both anthems regardless of whether a Canadian team plays?

Always. Tradition that dates back to the time before Chris Chelios's birth.

 

[sabres4ever]

4 shots in under a minute...60 mins per game...hmm...240 shots on goal? lol

 

[couture23]

Drop that rat Meszaros.

 

[joshjull]

Would love to see Reinhart play with Girgensons and Stafford

I wouldn't. I want both Reinhart and Girgs at center

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Drop that rat Meszaros.

He dropped himself. Meszaros barely touched him, Marchand was clearly trying to draw a call.

Good point
