I expect this to be boring as hell

6-3 loss.

 

[Dirty Dog]

We will come back in the third, 4-3 win.

 

[jc17]

I dont think Johnsons looked as bad as the numbers but can we try Clifton with literally anyone else?

 

[sabresfan129103]

IDK, I have a good feeling about this one. They play well on the road and the Pens are about as good as us. I think they win it 4-3 in a shootout.

I think Ryan Johnson and Clifton could make for a decent pairing?

Erik Johnson wouldn’t have a home so I don’t know what to do about that

I guess its a gamble because you don't want to handicap a top pair, but in his limited time with Dahlin and Power the numbers arent bad

When Samuelsson comes back, I would sit Clifton.

Samuelsson - Dahlin
Power - Jokiharju
RJ - EJ

Not sure how that sits with anyone to bench a new UFA signing but it's the best six they can ice. Odds are RJ goes back to Rochester though. Next year, if RJ keeps improving, I'd pair him with Dahlin and put Samuelsson with Clifton (assuming EJ retires). Clifton needs a safety net more than Dahlin.

Anyone see my Crosby voodoo doll? I've been looking for a half hour and still can't find it.

At some point E. Johnson and Okposo will need to sit but Okposo played damn near the whole 3rd period so that’s not happening

Johnson has been excellent as a third pairing D/PK duties, and Girgensons/Okposo has been more than adequate logging 4th line minutes. What they lack in speed they make up for in smart decision making. Maybe they will need to rest but they are an asset to this lineup.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Even though Pittsburgh has been underwhelming, I’ll be very impressed if we win tonight. Winning on the second night of a b2b 3 times already this year would be wild.

Not counting on it, but let’s at least get a point.

 

[stealth1]

I think they will win. This is the Pens first home game after a road trip. Teams tend to have a let down on their first home game after a road trip

 

[toddkaz]

Hopefully if Savoie is dressed he gets more than 4 minutes.

 

[Tatanka]

Hopefully if Savoie is dressed he gets more than 4 minutes.

Hopefully Tuch is a go and he doesn't dress. He needs a lot more than 4, 12, 15 minutes a game . I would cut bait now and send him back to the Dub. Let him play top line 22 minutes a night. His time will come.

They'd be a whole lot better with an actual NHL center

Rousek will be going down before Savoie unless Donny is absolutely sure Rousek does significantly more to help the team right now. Which I don’t know how he could possibly know that.

Yeah, that would mean there isn't a lot of PKing.

Sabres in Pittsburgh and we have few penalties? I laughed out loud.

Stranger things happened.

 

[Ace]

I advocate for going 11-7. Bench Krebs. Play EJ only on the PK and limited ES minutes. They’re going to spend half the game on the PK against the whiner anyway,

 

[Paxon]

Tonight the penalties finally even out for the Sabres, leading to a 5 - 3 victory. Buffalo goes 4/67 on the power play.

Don’t hate it
