Tropp now on top line

[Fitzpatrick'sbeard]

The red-hot Tyler Ennis line, flanked by Marcus Foligno and Drew Stafford, remains together. The struggling Vanek-Roy-Pominville trio has been broken up.

Roy and Pominville now have Corey Tropp on left wing, giving them a solid grinder to play with. Vanek is back on right wing with Ville Leino and Cody Hodgson. Brad Boyes is centering Cody McCormick and Patrick Kaleta.

Something has to give.

[OpIv37]

So our highest paid player has been demoted to 3rd line?

No wonder we can't win.

Interesting to see what Vanek and Hodgson can do together. Hopefully wake them both up.

[SabreEleven]

he needs to put Roy-Lieno-Stafford on one line. We'll call it the Useless Line or maybe the Quarentee Line. Put them all on one line so they can't infect the rest of the offense.

[SabreEleven]

and how do you know your offense sucks? You call a line of Roy-Pominville-Troop your TOP line...Darcy has some work to do this off season.

Hodgson is our best play maker passing wise (ennis is a better scorer), and Vanek needs to be with someone who can set him up.

I like Leino

yeah nevermind that right now stafford is a key part of by far our most effective line...

[Fitzpatrick'sbeard]

Sekera will play tonight and McNabb will be scratched, Gerbe is out upper-body muscle strain

[SabreEleven]

Key part? Doubtful. It's not what he is doing, it's his linemates carrying him.

[SabreEleven]

I like Leino

so you don't like offense?

[SkateZilla]

i wanna know what vanek did (that Roya nd Poms havent) to piss off ruff,

[Philagape]

Holy Tropp!

Call it the CoHo TV line :up:


Way to take 11 games to get your first points as a Sabre, Cody!

[Philagape]

Let's just pretend they traded for Foligno instead of CoHo

[PTI]

I thought Adam backchecked well too, he was relegated to lower lines, I think he can be decent, I think Dineen coached these guys well in the minors.

[JD]

Hey, RUFF... don't touch these ****ing lines!

[SkateZilla]

Holy Tropp!

Call it the CoHo TV line :up:

I'll take 11 games + steady future vs lighting it up the first 2 games then getting like 5 points in 70 games after.

Corey Tropp is a find!

He made that first goal happen with his physical work behind the net
