No top line Willy and Burky is in?

OBO is slow as hell. VKW is faster than their brains. Switch it up please.

DSP is unscratchable it seems. I guess Lewington in tomorrow against the slower Sens.

The logic in keeping Kuzy-Wilson together is Kuzy benefits the most from the room Wilson creates

Same benefit for Backstrom & Ovi.

Looks like all the speed is overloaded one line 2 but what the hell do I know. I'm only here for moral support.

Ovy shoots through guys and Backstrom holds on to puck better through contact

I'm interested to see if they return to the SCF lines at some point. Seems to me success was had.

Ovie Kuz Wilson
Vrana Backstrom Oshie

 

[Bananas]

Glad we’re shiffling around the lines a bit. It keeps players on their toes and options open.

Also, glad to see Bura back.

 

[funruiner]

Lines look good. Glad to see Bura in the action. Hoping this lineup looks similar tomorrow (going to see the game in Ottawa).

if this team gets eliminated while not playing okw.. i am calling for the head of reirden. i understand the lineup mix in the long regular season though.

Maybe this is a bad photo but DSP looks a bit out of shape here for late December.

 

[traparatus]

I keep harping on a very unsustainable situation that's created by carrying around 2 extra forwards, neither of whom is AHL/insurance kind of player.

If I said two games ago that we should scratch 2/3 of Jaskin-Dowd-Boyd line, people would been outraged. Yet, here we are.

 

[ovikovy817]

Let's go boys. We need a good start of the weekend

 

[Hivemind]

Wish they had Bura at RW and Conno at LW, but otherwise I'm okay with it. Burt and Stephenson need to get some games to stay fresh. I have no issue with Stephenson as a typical healthy scratch.

I am pretty sure that keeping Kuzy and Wilson together is all about keeping Oshie and Backstrom together for defense and Ov and Backstrom together for offense

I think 92 and 43 are just riding that out

I believe the phrase we are all scratching our heads about it "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".... This applies to the 4th line that was buzzing until being tinkered with. It does not apply to the power play, which is the only possible motivation for tinkering with said, not broken 4th line.

I prefer Backstrom with Ovie.

I thought it was the 3rd line that needed fixing.

yeah, this is why we(at our house) refer to him as ‘chee-burger’.

well... its hard to argue against okw if u saw the cuprun. let wilson free on the forcheck and with the scoring ability of kuzy and ovi (which backs cant offer) the line is always 1-2 passes away from a high scoring chance.

Backstrom is more consistent than Kuzy is. When Kuzy is off his game he tends to force passes that aren't there.

Totally uncool to be talking about DSP's massive fat rolls while he's doing charity work.

Just play good hockey

Let's go Caps! Hoping for a Win, No injury and No suspension for Wilson.
