GDT: Game #2: Utah @ Long Island - 5:30pm MDT - Utah16, AntennaTV

I also think they should just move Doan to the Cooley/Guenther line. He's better than McBain

and maybe they will when Bjugstad gets back

UTAH - 4
Doan - 1

Our home opener lineup a decade ago:

Doan - Vermette - Boedker
Gagner - Hanzal - Erat
Klinkhammer - Vitale - Korpikoski
Crombeen - Hodgman - Moss

It sucked to get here, but we're here.

Good God that's bad! Lol.

I think that's the season that Hanzal missed over 40 games too. Wow!

Skill wise, yeah, but I like the heaviness of McBain.

 

[LittlePipes]

couldn’t resist, I went to the Islanders page and poached.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

This is gonna be a fun season.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

You can tell Smith is actually a fan of the team he bought.

They're currently undefeated and Dylan Guenther has 4 goals in 2 games after signing a great extension. Of course he's a fan.

Cooley-Doan-Guenther might make sense once Bjugstad is healthy. McBain is not a top 6 forward as many have realized and Cooley has the worst faceoff % on the team. Not to mention, Doan and Guenther have chemistry from Tucson.

 

[lanky]

I like having 3 scoring lines with talent and grit spread out. These lines are pretty darn good.

I'd do this instead for now...

Crouse Cooley Guenther
Maccelli McBain Doan

but Bear knows best so I won't complain.

The big question is who gets bumped out of the top 9 when Bjugstad is healthy?

Imagine a Kerfoot-Stenlund-Bjugstad 4th line - lol. Unreal.

Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz
Crouse-Cooley-Guenther
Maccelli-McBain-Doan
Kerfoot-Stenlund-Bjugstad

Or

Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz
Crouse-Cooley-Guenther
Maccelli-Bjugstad-Doan
McBain-Stenlund-Kerfoot

Or

Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz
McBain-Cooley-Guenther

I like the idea of Doan being on thatine, but at least face offs are something that can be taught.

What a great game/finish. Unreal pass by Kerfoot to Doan. Hayton playing very well with and without the puck. Cooley with 4 assists and Gunslinger Guenther with 4 goals. Durzi has looked good also. As someone said. We look really good at times. Then all of sudden struggle. Power play looks good again. Fun to watch entertaining hockey again.
