Sabres put Leino between Vanek, Pommers

[Philagape]

Per Paul Hamilton

2nd line Adam-Roy-Stafford

Can't say I am a fan really. Why break up a good thing? ugh....

[SabreEleven]

Adam to the wing? IMO, Put Leino with Pommers and Stafford and move Roy down until he fully heals. Lieno had been sucking so let's promote him. Line juggling is Ruffs down fall.

So we're going to hold Adam (who's playing well) back by putting him with Roy and Stafford, who are playing like ****, and hold Pominville and Vanek (who are playing well) back by putting them with Leino (who's playing like ****).

Makes perfect sense. :rolleyes:

We need Ennis back and we need Roy to wake the **** up.

Sounds more like Roy just needs to get healthy.

[chernobylwraiths]

I thought Roy actually looked pretty decent in the last game.

yeah if you believe Rob Ray playing the role of apologist during the broadcasts.

If he's not healthy enough to play at a high level then bench his ass until he is.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

Sounds like an attempt to kick start a second line.

[Crisis]

I don't think it matters who is playing with Vanek/Poms, they're going to be productive. Hopefully this is what Leino needs to get going. Boyes has been playing better since getting PP time with Vanek/Poms.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Yeah I don't get this move at all......

[JD]

That's one thing I can't ****ing stand about Ruff. He's like how Op would be if he was a head coach. A line kills it for several games but sucks it up for one or two and he splits the line up. There is no time for lines to gel with the constant rotation bull****.

Didn't Leino want the wing?

[Fitzpatrick'sbeard]

Ruff said the move isn’t a knock on Adam; it’s more of an attempt to get Leino
on track offensively while playing with the team’s top two scorers. Ruff also
wouldn’t commit to Adam or Roy playing center, saying they could both see time
at the pivot.

Lieno seems really excited to play center :rolleyes: Ruff is screwing up this team.

[hydro]

Leino is about as interesting as a pet rock...

[Mski]

well i dont think that move was shorter lived than miller yesterday, and i dont remember the quote exactly but lindy refered to it as a stupid move

[OpIv37]

We need Ennis back so Leino can be put at the end of the bench where he belongs.

[SkateZilla]

Lieno needs to be playing with Kotalik, in Rochester. oh wait, Ales went home..

Send Leino to Rocha Cha, and bring up whitmore.

[Mski]

Lieno needs to be playing with Kotalik, in Rochester.you mean russia?

[SkateZilla]

ales went home to the czech league

[SabreEleven]
