The first one as Keefe said is to protect Lilly. I would have given Korshkov another game as well.I can understand playing Marincin over Liljegren, but Korshkov being scratched after scoring a goal is pretty weird. Gauthier as the 3rd line center is really questionable

Also Spezza will be getting most of the minutes so not worried what it says on the lineup sheet.
Watching TB now go 11-0, after already getting red hot, just makes our uneven malaise all the more disconcerting. The only reason it isn’t worse, Florida has been one of the worst teams in the league the last 10.
Just win.
Didn't TB do the same thing last year? Looked like cup favorites and went out in the first round
This year they took off the first few months of the season, last year they went crazy chasing regular season records and probably burnt themselves out. I wouldn't want to be the team who gets them in the first round this year.Didn't TB do the same thing last year? Looked like cup favorites and went out in the first round
Wouldn't it have made more sense to rest him in the last game then?Korshkov did play 3 in 3 this weekend. Could be part of it
Their fans are flocking back to the main boards to be smug once again, after seeing almost none of them all of Oct-Dec.
It pains me that there is a pretty good possibility Boston and Tampa will meet in the 2nd round, guaranteeing one in the ECF.

The Dermott-Barrie pairing was a disaster and needed a change, and Marincin has been even worse with Barrie. Muzzin-Barrie also isn't an option or else we don't have a shutdown pair.It's weird. Liljegren was terrible on the 5th Sabres goal when he kind of drifted behind the net to receive the pass behind the net that never came and then got mixed up, but Sandin was equally high profile terrible on the 4th Sabres goal vs Okposo when he and dumb Kerfoot got mixed up.
One guy is sent to the press box and the other is still the golden child. Weird.
Instead of making random roster changes, Keefe could look at trying to quiet down the game to promote defensive awareness, such as editing down the number of defensive pinches and puck reversals to high danger areas until the team finds its defensive legs. It's not all about video game duos and bang bang plays all day long.
@SAMCRO44 Can you get one of those life sized Babcock posters for Stephen too?
Okay I will give him that. At least it's not a wierd made up reason.
Protecting Lilly I get it.
Uhhh, Dermott - Liljegren plz
Nawww that's reserved for people who still support the man
