new lines--new you???

[misterchainsaw]

To everyone yelling for Grigs to get PP time. Do you remember the shifts Ruff gave him on the PP early in the year? He was horrendous. His play then was along the level you could expect if you put Scott in that situation. I think he tried the same cross-ice pass on 3 straight shifts and it got intercepted every time.

How in the name of anything do you separate Vanek/Ehrhoff on PP1?? God he is the worst coach.

[TheMistyStranger]

pp2 is gerbe-hecht-ott? is that right?

Can't be. There's no possible way.

I like the FEK line, if only for the acronym

Yeah, that.

 

[RiotAct]

PP1: V-Ennis-Foligno + P +Brennan
PP2: Gerbe-H-Ott +Myers+Ehrhoff

wh....what?????

 

[JonathanWashington]

They need to go with

Vanek hodgson stafford
Foligno Ennis Kaleta
Ott Hecht pominville
Scott McCormick gerbe

 

[RiotAct]

well the new PP lines worked like a charm. Great job Lindy!

 

[jfb392]

The new ES lines last for what, half a period?

well the new PP lines worked like a charm. Great job Lindy!

Against the 30th ranked PK, no less.

Oh, so like the rest of the PP units?

or am i missing something.

Put grigs up there, put VHP and Myers Ehrhoff

and then whoever the **** else for PP2. Might as well be Grigs, let him play off the sidewall and pass all over

They just need a few weeks to gel, it'll be okay!

No, worse than the rest of the PP units. He's not ready. He should be in juniors by now.

 

[Seanothan]

**** it;

V-H-P
Foligno-Ennis-Grigs
Ott-Hecht-Staff
Gerbe-McCormick-Kaleta

Grigs needs ice time. There no no reason to make him rot in the press box so Scott can have 3:48 ice time.. ****ing madness

 

[WNY to NoVA]

No, worse than the rest of the PP units. He's not ready. He should be in juniors by now.

that's not a valid argument, they aren't going to send him down. why take him away from all the staff/trainers/etc in buffalo to go have him dominate in the Q

 

[WNY to NoVA]

and nothing is worse than gerbe trying the same spin move and same 4 over stickhandles, and no ability to do anything in the corner or on the boards. at least grigs attempted to keep it simple

How is that not a valid argument? He needs to play, and he's not ready to play at this level. Anyone watching the games fairly, without prior bias, should be able to see that.

I could just as easily say Ruff is never going to put him on the PP, so your argument that he'd be at least as good as everyone else is invalid. I won't, though, because the easier argument is that he's simply not as good as what they have on the ice.

Myers-Regehr
Sekera-Sulzer
Weber-Brennan

Ennis is not practicing (not sure why) and Ehrhoff is also not there.

EDIT: Apparently McCormick was waived...even though he's at practice. Umm..

 

[Hasek]

So who will center the 2nd line after Lindiot decides to bench Grigorenko after 2 periods of play?

 

[McCauleyChirps]

Can't see em at all.

 

[Paxon]

Just as likely that Grigorenko is merely placeholding for Ennis as he can't practice
