Ruff will have plenty of film.

Not highlight reels, unfortunately.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

If one pairing has to be ass, I'd prefer it's not the top pair that plays the most minutes and has our best weapon on it. Let the second or third pairing be ass.

All chips to the middle - Joker-Clifton third pair!

 

[MOGlLNY]

I hope he has tape on him benching Benson and then telling the guys they have to play a grittier game

Unfortunate timing with the injury but I think even if NAK wasn't hurt that Benny was coming out for Kulich. The ceremonial puck drop I think kinda proved it.

 

[Vito_81]

If one thing is for certain, ive heard more Seamus Casey talk on NHL network today through two periods than Im sure I will hear for the rest of his career.

Maybe try Byram-Dahlin again ... as Dahlin is better on the right. Perhaps an improved Power can carry Jokiharju around the ice.

Sure, why not? They will play the least and have the weakest quality of competition.

That would be worth a try.

 

[Dingo44]

If Peterka is out a bit I'd like to see Rosén given a shot.

 

[Caroline Says ll]

Just awful play these two games. No team cohesion.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

You're more likely keeping Kulich up.

 

[SabresFan26]

Most teams would have figured out Joker doesn’t fit with anyone and isn’t a top 4 D at some point in the last three years.

That’s what makes us special

Special alright

 

[Sabre the Win]

If one thing is for certain, ive heard more Seamus Casey talk on NHL network today through two periods than Im sure I will hear for the rest of his career.

Seamus Casey riding is on the level of Larkin

 

[joshjull]

Might be time to pony up for Rasmus Andersson and hope we can trade Jokiharju with him lol

Can he play defense? Not being snarky, seriously asking.

 

[MOGlLNY]

I like Rosén a lot but I think you need to ride Kulich for an extended look and see what he can give you.

He struggled last year iirc but he's just a way better version of Jokiharju essentially

 

[SabresFan26]

Weird how many issues are rooted in the roster construction. Things that are glaringly obvious to everyone who isn’t a GM somehow in year five of his plan.

But he worked at Harbor Center and wanted to be here!

Joki stinks and we don’t have enough guys who can put the puck in the net.

 

[paulmm3]

Tuch looks like late career Matt Moulson

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

No he's another PMD. Style-wise, Weegar is the target (contract aside).

 

[Ace]

win one period on this trip, please

 

[MOGlLNY]

Rayzor is pissed

 

[Chainshot]

Here's the thing ... what's the alternative? Samuelsson is honestly a worse disaster with Dahlin and craters his possession big time. Joki might be the lesser of two evils. There's just no way to construct this defense without one sub-par combination. Byram-Jokiharju as a pairing would get run over.

Samuelsson was last year. The year prior, not. Might be worth trying again.

Tuch looks like late career Matt Moulson

Eh, not seeing it.

 

[Chainshot]

Dahlin with Power to start.

 

[Chainshot]

Quinn casual at the offensive blueline. Again.

 

[joshjull]

How is that not hooking?

 

[Chainshot]

Nice chance Krebsie.

 

[Chainshot]

How is that not hooking?

Because NHL.
