its gotta get going soon, can't have too many guys having 10 game funks all at the same time.

Who was jack playing with last year vs this year, whats the big difference? Ennis couldn't be that big of a deal in that Top 6

- DDM-Coga



Ennis hardly played last year. Reinhart and foligno where with jack last year ( mostly)

Personally I like Kane with jack....

Last year Jack player with Reinhart as his RW mostly
LW rotated throughout the season, but I think Kane got the most playing time there

If we can get our special teams fixed (yeah, they matter) and then just get O’Reilly & Okposo scoring, we're gonna start winning games
I like Reinhart as the 3C,
but we need to put some young talent with him that can score
He’s been stuck with mostly Pouliot (who looks done) guys like Griffin & Larsson

Time to bring up some of the talented young kids we have in Rochester

By the way you write it looks like you've had your fair share of concussions too...

Reinhart and Foligno for most of the year last year.

Pominville every game this year, Kane a few games and Girgensons last game.

Kane Eichel and Pominville have 20 points so far between them. The Sabres have only scored 11 goals.

Only 5 guys have 2 or more points, and it goes 2, 3, 6, 7, 7. Only 7 players have a point. Through 5 games. That's awful.

I’d like to see...
Bailey-Eichel-Pominville
Girgensons-O’Reilly-Okposo
Kane-Reinhart-Baptiste
Griffin/Nolan-Josefson-Larsson
-Moulson can stay in the box
-get Pouliot outta there

McCabe-Ristolainen
Scandella-Antipin
Beaulieu-Gorges
-Tennyson can sit
-Scandella on pair 2 bc it we pair him with Risto, there’s no way we can reduce his icetime. Risto shouldn’t be playing more than 24min a night
2nd pair gets 20min
3rd pair gets 16min in sheltered situations when possible

I like your thinking and proposed line-up. Very logical. It injects significantly more speed into the line-up while providing more stability on the back-end. When Bogo/Falk return, Housley can sit one or two of Antipin/Gorges or Beaulieu.

If Lehner doesn't turn it around quickly, I would give the reins to Johnson. If Johnson doesn't run with it, give Ulmark a chance.

If Dan Arritt is correct and Housley put Kane back up with Eichel and Pominville it's another blunder. I said it before and I'll say it again and again until it sinks in permanently - Eichel/Kane pairing is not nor has it worked in the past. Move Reinhart up to work on Jacks line.
If your so gung ho on putting Kane up on first line then move Jack to the second line. And we all know Jack is the leader on this team and the best player so that's not going to happen. Stop cramming Kane down Eichels throat.

kane was hard on the forecheck last night and got the puck to Eichel for the game-tying goal...

just sayin

In net...
I think we just have to let Lehner run with it (not that I’m happy with his play so far)
He’s probably our best chance
I think we will try n make a change in the offseason

Ok... I think u can probably rotate those LWs throughout the top3 lines
Girgensons might not be Bailey, but he’s a pretty good skater too

- Michael Pachla



Seems like he was signed to keep the kids down in Rochester
At this point...
I’m thinking we need to keep Bailey up
And even bring up Baptiste
Is Rodrigues healthy again yet? I forget what the deal with his injury was
