jsb Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Sheary--ERod--Nylander Now that's a big and heavy line to contend with!!! And we blame the defense for their shortcomings??? Quote

Let's see if he can get a couple apples tonight and make those other guys look good. 11 minutes ago, jsb said: Sheary--ERod--Nylander Now that's a big and heavy line to contend with!!!

Claude Balls Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 That's an AHL lineup minus Skinner and Reino. Quote

spndnchz Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Can’t hurt to see what they (newer guys) do in those spots. Something to watch even if a loss. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Oh no wonder I didn't find this, the date was wrong. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Need a merge, there was already a practice report created. 1 minute ago, spndnchz said: Can’t hurt to see what they (newer guys) do in those spots.

Skinner Mittlestadt Pominville Sheary Rodrigues Nylander Thompson Sobotka Reinhart Wilson Larsson Okposo Dahlin Bogosian Scandella Montour Hunwick Ristolainen? Or because Girgensons or Nelson sandwiched into one of those combos would have improved things so much? Chocken salad, chicken *****, yada yada... Quote

It should look like this Skinner - Mitts - Nylander Sheary - Rod- Reinhart Wilson - Larsson - Okposo Zemgus - Sobotka - Pommers Scratched, Thompson. Nelson - Bogo Dahlin - Montour Hunwick - Risto Quote
Mustache of God Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Is Reinhart really worse at 1 or 2 or 3 center than Casey or Erod or Sobotka? I don't get it. Phil is lucky Jack's suspension is happening during a 2 game homestead so he can have some modicum of control against match-ups. This team line-up would get eaten alive on the road. Quote

Nelson - Bogo Dahlin - Montour Hunwick - Risto Care to explain why this is so much superior to Phil’s lineup? Youve improved the Erod line at the expense of the Sobotka line and saddled Skinner with two guys who might not be ready for the NHL and called them your first line. And you put your two best puck movers together and put one of your softest D on your shutdown pair (against a team that pounded the ***** out of us last time) What obvious thing have you done that Phil just wasn’t getting? Benching Tage? It’s been done. 1 Quote
nfreeman Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 You know it's been another disappointing season when one of the polite Canadians gets irritated. And that's without anyone pointing out that Reino has been lousy since getting moved back up to the top line. 3 Quote
woods-racer Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 It just could be we are missing 2-3 players to make this team good. 7 of our forwards are just deck chairs. 4 Quote

They also stand up much better than this team. This team wishes it could comfort me like a deck chair ? 2 Quote

Benching Tage? It’s been done. You're at home. Skinner isn't a defensive player anyway. Give him 2 other offensive players and use your last change. Sobotka is trash, he gets put with pommers to help him not be a defensive liability. I put Nelson in because I'm sick of this bs soft argument. Great Scandella is tough. He can't play for *****. I put my best puck movers together to give them the best chance of scoring. Hunwick can stay at home, Risto can be stupid. I'd personally recall Pilut, bench risto but he's tough and something something it matters. There's your explanation. Quote
