7th rd pick Gaustad and 8th rd pick McMorrow are the only picks to see NHL games.

McMorrow only played 1.

Armia will skate with Ennis/Girgensons


And I'm gonna miss the game....

- sbroads24

I don't like that

put someone with gringo and armia for the second line
put someone with ennis and girgens for the first line

Foligno must have really messed his hand up in that fight. He's considered month to month with a significant hand injury.



As much as I like to see guys sticking up for one another, is the risk of an injury like this really worth it?

they should make a rule, drop the gloves, then drop the helmet

if you drop the gloves and do not drop the helmet, 25 game suspension

This is true. I plan to watch. I just think that with the team being as depleted as it is, on the road in Detroit, we probably wont look so good.
- Buffalo-Sabres

Correct, but its always good to see the young guys score their first. It was especially cool when Schaller scored and they had a shot of his parents in the crowd in Boston.

He missed 9 games due to injury. They didn't call him up earlier because they didn't want him playing 3 games in 3 nights

In all seriousness they will probably shuffle the lineup throughout the game. I could even see Flynn being moved up at some point tonight. I think they want to get a good look at what they got with armia though. They already know what they got out of ennis and Girgenson so it's would be far easier to make a more accurate evaluation out of him playing with 2 known good players.

armia is very intriguing...not expecting much, but it's good to see him hit the nhl ice...
- Michael Pachla


I'll be watching the game much more closely than usual tonight to get a glimpse of him, and hopefully Grigorenko on his line. Most times I "watch" the game like it's on the radio, more to listen to than watch too closely.

Pretty sure they just this or last year implemented a new rule that you're not allowed to remove any of your own equipment. There was some funny preseason action where two guys would start a fight off by removing each others helmets.

Because he wasn't drafted in his first draft eligible year. He was drafted as a 19 year old
