Hodgson, 3-12 at the dot. Christ, work on that **** in practice. Hecht 1-4, Grigs 0-2.

Pommer took the last few faceoffs for that line.

But yeah, Hodgson needs to improve. Kevyn Adams better earn his money with results.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Not sure why Johnny Scott is dressed for this game.

 

[zenthusiast]

Hecht played on maybe two shifts in place of Grigs on that line.

Guess what? they actually created chances. Then he cetner his own linehis last few shifts and they created chances and a good scoring chance.

Its incredible the whining over Grigs. Face it, at this point he is not at all an impact player and really looks lost. Thats fine at his age. But he is not playing anywhere near the level Hecht is and thats not even debatable. So if Hecht gets some shifts in his place so be it. This is the NHL not the AHL where you give guys minutes for development purposes.

It was 3 if the nhl's service is to be believed, which is fairly considerable time-wise. In addition, is it really an offensive chance if the player has no finish? Let the young player take his lumps and play out of his troubles instead of benching him for less egregious errors than the center who pretty much caused two opposing goals and almost popped a third. What does sitting him on the bench teach him other than the coach thinks he isn't good enough? Teach him what it's like to get dominated at the NHL level, and be pleasantly surprised if he responds with something.

quadruple shift hecht

This may happen

quadruple shift hecht

For all the mocking posters throw at him he has been great this season and is a perfect bottom 6 forward.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

How bout just send the kid down then? How the hell can you single out Grigs when the whole team is terrible? Bad coaching.

 

[JOHNBOY]

Cmon guys get it going..

 

[Sabreality]

mistake after mistake.

hope those I-Pads get loaded up for the flight home.

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

Omg grigs how did that not go in

 

[zenthusiast]

For all the mocking posters throw at him he has been great this season and is a perfect bottom 6 forward.

he was barely passable defensively against Philly.

 

[Timbo Slice]

Grigs looks good in this period.

 

[zenthusiast]

Well, there's a lineup switch.

 

[CrankyJay]

Lindy must have raised an eyebrow or something in the locker room because the Sabres are skating hard.

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

We look good but not getting the puck luck this period

 

[joshjull]

he was barely passable defensively against Philly.

Nevermind

I can see rational discussion is not in your retinue.

 

[Hasek]

Hopefully they can keep it up. Grigs is so calm with the puck, you'd think he's been in the league for 15 yrs.

 

[CrankyJay]

Afinogennis is back...
