Just your curious Rangers fan Vincent Vega 11-03-2003, 02:40 PM Against Buffalo on the 1st.... Todd White - Jason Spezza - Daniel Alfredsson Vaclav Varada - Radek Bonk - Marian Hossa Petr Schastlivy - Bryan Smolinski - Martin Havlat Antoine Vermette - Shaun Van Allen - Chris Neil Wade Redden - Karel Rachunek Chris Phillips - Zdeno Chara Curtis Leschyshyn - Brian Pothier SuperUnknown 11-03-2003, 02:50 PM Against Buffalo on the 1st.... Todd White - Jason Spezza - Daniel Alfredsson Vaclav Varada - Radek Bonk - Marian Hossa Petr Schastlivy - Bryan Smolinski - Martin Havlat Antoine Vermette - Shaun Van Allen - Chris Neil Wade Redden - Karel Rachunek Chris Phillips - Zdeno Chara Curtis Leschyshyn - Brian Pothier Tonight the lines are the same, except that Shastlivy is sitting and Schaefer is taking his place. Dr.Sens(e) 11-03-2003, 05:43 PM Of note, Schaefer was hurt against Buffalo and will play whenever he is healthy. Schastlivy and Vermette are fighting for the 12th forward position until Fisher returns. Both have played ok, but neither have really made much of a case over the other. Schastlivy say tonight. Other Dave 11-04-2003, 01:56 AM Martin reunited the Palmolive line (15-39-9) tonight briefly in the third period, and Havlat's play picked up noticeably. That meant that Smolinski was moved up between White and Alfie. Looks like JM might have to keep Spezza on Havlat's line to keep Marty happy.

Redden was having some problems with his knee. He left the game for a bit in the first and is obviously not 100%. I was surprised because he's played over 28 minutes in a few games. Overall, the D is not playing well. Pothier is making the normal rookie mistakes. Leschesyn is a step behind. Phillips is pretty good. Chara's just starting to pick it up. With Redden's knee aggravated (remember he missed a few pre-season games because of it too), I think Martin had to juggle. An 'of note' on my part would be that when Redden doesn't play well, neither do the Sens as a whole. Every time he has problems, or every time he's not playing well, the Sens have issues. Now wonder why they didn't bat an eyelash when they signed him to that contract. I hope Martin tries Vermette-Spezza-Havlat. OD wrote above that Havlat seemed to pick it up a bit when he played with Spezza; I thought he picked it up when he played with Vermette. Tomorrow will be interesting. | ||
