Risto might not have the best value right now but this is AWFUL

That guy does some of the worst trades for sabres that I have seen on there.

If you want to win, you don't trot out a line of Girgs, Larry and Sobotka for 13 minutes a night. I understand their combined -40 and 45 points is very impressive, but I don't need to see it again
- jcragcrumple


NO ONE wants Sobatka here...
so stop bringing him up

Girgs & Larsson are our best defensive forwards
That’s indisputable
And there’s been plenty of evidence to show they’re good at their defensive role

U wanna continue to throw a hissy fit for E Rod’s 9 goals over Larsson’s 6 goals
Ok... BUT IT’S DUMB

And you’re gonna bring up +\- ???
Ok

E Rod was a -7
Larsson was -8

Ooooooooooooooooooo my god
What a difference!!!

And that was with Larsson with an 84.4 defensive zone start %

Pretty reasonable to say that if E Rod got put into those amount of defensive situations that
1) his +\- would be worse
2) his points would decrease


Idk why it’s so hard for you to see the obvious?

Larsson & Girgs flip the ice,
that’s their job & it’s important

If the middle6 can do their job & actually score,
then yeah... we are winning games

Hi sunshine!
Rays of sparkling darkness, lol.

Well, you know me so well.
I used to really enjoy my Bourbon, alot.

Yet, I haven't had a drink in since early June when I had several mini-stokes and lost my ability to speak for short periods of time. Doctors don't think there is any correlation, but for fact of improving my general health, I decided to quit drinking.
Not fun being in a hospital bed not able to communicate as one had for 61 years, so ya, it woke me up. Proud to say I have radically altered my diet and exercise habits for the good though.

So no, not even close bum(frank)!
But, keep on fishing like a blind, dumb, bully you are, lol.
You have much hate in your heart, you really are a complete joke if a person.

You condemned The Clown for making an ethnic slur, but you, oh holy one, thrive to ridicule others at every step. Just waiting to pounce. Lol, you are a gem of a man, err boy.
No wonder your wife left you...a bitter man who must pick on others to feel superior!
When did you stop hitting her, before or after she filed the papers?
Didn't bullying get old for you around the age of 17, seriously.

But carry on. You do you.

Wow man that’s a few steps to far, hockey chat room, gotta keep it civil.

As to your first point regarding Sobotka, Sobotka is under contract, as are fellow 4th liners Girgs and Larry. So at the moment, it's a reasonable projection to say that is currently the 4th line.

As to the bolded: that didn't happen. I did say that Erod doubled Larsson's production. 29 points to 14

As to your last "question," what is obvious to me is that playing those guys the amount they played last year didn't work. Doing it again makes no sense to me.

Also, the tone of your response is incredibly juvenile

Girgs and Larry played 3rd line minutes last year. They were the middle 6. If they play 8 mins a night idgaf

what do we think about Sean Malone? Any chance he makes the 4th line or are we talking career AHL?

I don't think he's our property anymore. I don't think we qualified him.

It didn’t work bc the middle6 couldn’t score

Larsson & Girgs did their jobs,
and did it well

E Rod won’t score 29pts if he’s getting 84.4% defensive zone starts like Larsson was
And since he’s not as good defensively,
one should assume he’ll allow more goals

And again...
NO ONE wants Sobatka here
We all agree he should be gone
We are talking about Larsson & Girgs,
so there’s no need to go off on a tangent that has nothing to do with them

Skins- John jack- pommer
Goaloffson-mitts- johannson
Vesey-sam- sheary
Gurgs- larrson- okposo


Sobotka
Tage

Couple more moves , its July

Maybe they pass on pommer

- Boss34


Enough with Pommer. If he is on this roster. With girgensons,Larson sobotia and okposo, we will hav a lottery pick. Those guys are bad hockey players. Did anyone watch the playoffs? Those are real 4th lines, Larson’s has hands of stone, no hustle ,lazy and don’t even get me started in sobotka

- jcragcrumple


We... do not... have ANYONE...
who can play their defensive zone minutes

If Botts gets some guys who can play defense,
then u can lower their icetime
Giving it to E Rod is not the answer


***And if u don’t like my supposed tone...
I’ll meet u at the park in an hour 😂😂😂

Actually, if you think about it, he’s admitting he’s NOT drunk, so now he’s gonna have to come up with another excuse for all that incoherent rambling.

Again, Girgensons and Larsson were the middle six based on ice time. So if you want to want to blame middle six production, blame them

I blame the guys who are supposed to be the middle 6, not the guys who are forced to step in to make up for their glaring deficiencies.

That's fair. But doing the same thing again this year is suicide

Pominville is Mr. October. I'd take him over Sheary on 1RW for the first month. He too damn old to sustain it, but when he's fresh, he's good

Hi there sweet cakes, still at it?
Is you life that miserable that you seek to constantly ride others?
Always one to take shots, lol.
