Post-Game Talk: Sabres are as good as these servers. 4-0 Panthers

Great first game by Vanacek, and actually really impressed by Sturm. Really great pickups and looks like we're on top of the Atlantic again!

Not that I’m complaining, but who’s gonna come out when Tkachuk and Marchand are back? For sure Nosek, but Sturm or Greer?

I guess it’ll depend on the opponents and their lineup.

Based on Maurice's comments after the deadline, he seems to want Sturm to be a lock on the PK, so my guess is he will stay in most nights. Basically leaves 2 spots open for Samo/ Boqvist/ Nosek / Greer on the 4th line. Tough decisions will have to be made but I'm sure everyone will get some games like last year when we had Lomberg, Lorentz, Cousins, Okposo coming in and out

Maurice isn't going try to reinvent the wheel: he wants more beef on the 4th line. Okposo was even slower than Ekblad but he still played more in the playoffs than Cousins and Lomberg due to size advantage. I don't think we'll be seeing much of Samo or Boqvist unless a flurry of injuries are sustained by the guys in the top9.
