    Ennis, Gerbe on power play; Vanek, Torres out

    Buffalo is changing its 0-for-14 man-advantage unit in a big way -- or, based on size, a small way. Nathan Gerbe is replacing Raffi Torres for Game Five against Boston, and the left winger is getting a power-play role, too. One of the Sabres' units will feature Ennis, Drew Stafford and Gerbe up front, with Tyler Myers and Rivet at the point.



    -------------------

    I can't say I agree with this. I don't think Torres has done anything to warrant him sitting out right now.

        Torres isn't injured? I liked the grit he brought, even if he didn't do much offensively.

          You can't argue that he has been good in the playoffs, sans goals.

          By the way, how did Kovalchuk work out for Jersey?

            This is what I absolutely hate about Ruff as a HC. Connolly or Pominville deserve to sit more then Torres, but because they are the "chosen ones" they never are held accountable. Ruff has really been brutal in these playoffs.

                Might as well. Either it provides a winning combination and we have another game to play.

                Or we get eliminated tonight and the youngsters get a feel for playoff hockey.

                  If we are trying to add toughness, why are we taking out a guy who is willing to throw a check every once in a while and put in a small guy...Take out Pussyville who hasn't thrown a check in 8 years and put in the guy who is about 2 inches shorter than him.

                    I don't agree with it, but I think the logic is trying to generate some offense. Ennis and Gerbe worked together in Portland on the PP, so they might be able to get it going here. I think at this point they are willing to try anything to get that thing going.

                    In fact, it wouldn't shock me if they asked to start declining the penalties just to avoid more embarrassment.

                      At least he can admit he is sucking...

                        This is very sad..

                        Torres is tied for the team scoring lead with two points.

                          and he was one of the few forwards to hit someone.
