It will be a hard choice but we must get the Goose back into the lineup.

I was leaning to Kotalik but he had a couple nice games in a row now.

Can't take Mair out

Max?

Hecht?

Very tough call.

Max was tied for 2nd in scoring in the first round with a goal and 3 assist, so scratch his name off the list.

Right now, it would have to be Mair, Stafford or Kotalik. But remember, it looks liek he will not be back this round and it is unlikely that the Sabres stay injury free. (Unless the hockey Gods decide to make up for last year)

Hecht has been playing better but of all the forwards I think he's the worst puck handler- at this point I think he'd be the one to sit.

It would be stupid to sit Max even though he hasn't done much in the playoffs- he keeps the crowd in the game and he has that potential to go off at any time.

I think there is a 0% chance the team would actually sit Hecht or Max. It is such a tough call. I think Stafford is too good to sit. Mair has been playing his Ass off too. Kotalik is my choice, but he is really making it a tough one.

I'd have to say Stafford.

If the Goose is healthy he needs to be in there. He adds size, grit, and heart. Plus he is good on Faceoffs.

Possibly but I think he is too good. I think they should move Stafford back to Roy's line and move Max with Connolly. That might get them going. Kotalik with Drury.

I want to see Kotalik play with someone eho can get him the puck.

Mair made one nice pass on his goal, but that's the exception, not the rule. I want to see Kotalik with Briere, Drury, or Roy.

He is playing with Conolly right now and he can get people the puck.

Goose probably won't be ready until at least the next series anyways so we should have a handle on who is hot and who is not by then.

THATHURMANATOR

Yeah there is absolutly no need to rush him so unless he is 100% but indications are he could be ready in about a week.

Kotalik was on Drury's line for a while at the end of the year and didn't do much. He is too Streaky for my opinion.

That is how I spell it Church. DEAL WITH IT.

No. He was with Mair.

And Connolly. Most of the game the three were playing together, although Lindy did juggle the lines some. Tim was the center on the line and Mair and Ales were the wingers.

Yeah the line is Mair, Connolly and Kotalik.

Mair on a game on game basis makes me debate if he should be in the line up. He scores a goal throws a big check, then the next game he looks lost and gives the puck away. Then last night he sets up kotalik and throws another check. I don't know. In the end i hope it ends up

Zubrus Drury Goose
Hecht Briere Pommer
Vanek Roy Maxim
Kotalik Connolly Stafford

It's tough i like to see Mair in the line up but i like stafford and Goose. I dont' know.

Camel I dont think Lindy would put Goose with Zubrus, and Drury. Those are 3 of our best faceoff guys we have.

I think Ruff would leave Stafford on Drurys line, And put Gaustad with Timmy and either Kotalik or Mair.

Goose and with Zub and Drury would be a huge checking line and Stafford Connolly and kotalik would be sick, does zub even take face offs he's on the wing and i know Goose has played winger when Drury Kotalik and Goose were a line. LOL this is why this team is so good.

It's a lot nicer having this problem than the injuries last year, that's all I know.

max creates headaches for opposing teams wether he's puttin up points or not. His speed and puck handling benifits his linemates, and creates many of powerplays.

SO yeah Max needs to play.

Yes, you can take Mair out and I would. Gaustad is a much better player and brings more to the table.

I personally think Mair has earned a spot.
