Tennyson was sent down, replace him with Matt Hunwick. Beaulieu is questionable, if he can't go, Brendan Guhle will slot in.

Back to the dumpster fire season...can we have the hatter for a little bit longer

 

[Sticksandsun]

People are going to look at the Sabres defence that is worse than Florida and still try and say goalies make no difference. The Sabres even score less than Florida!

Their bottom six forwards are much better.

 

[KW]

My prediction: deflection goals will continue to be called goalie’s fault, because “all we need is average goaltending”.

They are not.

 

[Beezeral]

The difference between the Sabres and Panthers is that the Sabres are great in 1 goal games and the Panthers are dreadful.

 

[MPGA]

Last game was awesome. Fully expecting this team to follow up with a disappointing effort as always. Either a blowout loss or we blow multiple 2 goal leads and lose late in regulation. Best case scenario is an OTL.

Betting on another 3rd period collapse with Petrovic leading the tank.

I like Boughner but I don't understand why he's playing. If they're trying to increase his trade value he should be scratched

 

[FinlandPanther]

Good to see kis will leave this team next season. Thanks Boughner.

 

[MPGA]

Don't be surprised when Boughner sends out Petrocrap for OT or the shoot out

 

[WESEERED]

Please gd let kis back in the lineup

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Good to see kis will leave this team next season. Thanks Boughner.

Kind of where I'm at with it. You have a guy who stepped in and played rather nicely for you and did exactly what your team needed -- played safe, reliable defense to help stop the hemorrhaging back there -- and you put him on the bench for a guy who is arguably the worst player on your team right now.

Very frustrating. I can imagine he's probably the only person more frustrated than me by this move.

Yeah it’s ridiculous. And petro is by far our worst player. He is absolute trash. The thing that makes me hate him even more is his whining. Entitled piece of garbage who hasn’t earned anything.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Boughner has a master plan. When he figures it out he will let us know.

In both players last 3 games, Kis was on the ice for 1 goal for and 4 goals against (even strength) and Petro 1 for and 3 against. So it's not like either are playing really well and Petro got starched when he was, played on the second pairing with Matheson. I agree that Petro causes more turnovers and look like he's juggling grenades.

What I don't get is why Boughner is willing to try Petro with Matheson and Yandle, but doesn't try Kis (or Weegar) with either of them or Ekblad. I know Kis, Yandle and Matheson are all LHD, but when Petro or Pysyk play with Weegar, it's a pairing of 2 RHD, so I don't buy that excuse. The Pysyk Matheson duo has been bad for over a year now, why doesn't he even try it?

 

[Sticksandsun]

Nope. Defence is worse too. Any excuse to give Reimer a pass though.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I think objectively the absolute worst pairing we've put on the ice this season was Matheson/Petrovic. That's the pairing that got blasted in the third period against the Blues the other night.

I think when looking at where you can improve the defense you start there. When you have two guys you simply can't put on the ice together under fear of immediate team implosion, you have to consider that at least one of them needs to be off the ice.

Free Bogdan

 

[FinlandPanther]

Petro has had his two best games of the season which are still unimpressive. He’s looked awful but hasn’t gotten scored on.

 

[Gentle Man]

Easy win. Thursday too.

Only for us to lose twice against Detroit.

 

[Mogo]

Will Matheson keep sucking and screening our goalies
