I really like to watch Kiprisov play. One of the best 5 players in the league imho.Pretty important game to find a way to win in, at this point in the season.
High quality opponent, need to keep the momentum going.
Seems like Kulich may play on McLeod's wing which, if given the choice between the two on who centers that line, I think I'd go with McLeod.I really like to watch Kiprisov play. One of the best 5 players in the league imho.
Get JJ going again with Tage
UPL continue to out goalie the opposition
How about a big Cozy goal ?
Kulich continued development at Center
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Ruff may be the best thing that happened this offseason. He knows he needs to keep this young team humble. It's very easy for an inexperienced team to start feeling themselves a bit too much after an emotional road trip.Curious how they respond after the Cali road trip and then Ruff laying into them at practice yesterday. Fairburn spoke about it with KB yesterday, they picked it up after the coach stopped everything and lit them up.

They’ll be matched against KaprizovMy only gripe is McLeod on the 4th line over Krebs. Im assuming McLeod will still stack a decent amount of mins depending on how the game goes.
Kap and Boldy are a force. Don't think that 4th line can hang with them. McLeod at 4C is a bit of a waste.They’ll be matched against Kaprizov
I think they can get more O from that line with Mcleod centering it. They may see more ice time than the Kulich line.My only gripe is McLeod on the 4th line over Krebs. Im assuming McLeod will still stack a decent amount of mins depending on how the game goes.
Boldy is one of my favorite non-Sabres. It was cool to see how good he was right from day 1. Seems like a good kid.Wild fan, and Sabre watcher since Gilbert Perreault days. Wild are a good team this year, but not as good as their record suggests. Improved goaltending and D have made them tough to win against. Even Bogo is playing well, but he is only being asked to play 3rd pair minutes. With Zuccarello out, it's thrown our forward lines and PP out of alignment. The 1st line can be deadly if you give them room. Kaprizov and Boldy are quite the talents, and JEE does all the dirty work, especially screens in front. We lost 4-1 to WPG last game , but could've easily won. Hit a a lot of iron, and Helle was really good. Had 44 SOG, or something like that. Our Achilles heel is special teams.
Looking forward to seeing how the team looks. From afar, still inconsistent, but I am a believer in Zucker (if he stays healthy)as a depth player, and Cozens. The latter has been asked to do a lot early on in his career, and he might be getting fatigued, defeated, or something? Not sure if he needs to heal up, get a kick in the pants, or a nice massage. McLeod and Greenway should make you tougher to play against, but I still think you guys could use some more toughness, both up front and on the D, especially.
