i swear every time we play buffalo half their roster is on ir, feels like a tradition at this point

those habs lines on page 54 look pretty much what i expected, not much shakeup from last few games. curious if they keep that second pairing together or switch it up mid-game, hebert loves calling penalties so might get messy
