f***ing Christ Lavi...

 

[Machinehead]

Im pleased Othmann is getting a look but it does nothing to ameliorate our situation at center

Ameliorate.

Amazing.

f***ing Christ Lavi...

Good luck Othmann. Like I said he is basically gonna be playing on the 4th line. I guess he gets to play his natural position at least.

 

[Kovalev27]

It felt like they were waiting till the new year with Othmann to get his feet wet they did the same with Igor. So not that surprised he’s finally up. This isn’t an 18 year old kid. He’s 22 already he’s laf and Kakkos age. Time to go.

Frankly I think he plays the exact type of hockey we need to compliment our skill guys. Similar to Cuylle in wanting to get to the net get his nose dirty and shoot the puck but more talented although maybe not as good as skater or built like a freight train.

I think he’s going to be a great fit. Would be surprised if he doesn’t stick. Center to me with Chytil being a huge question mark is more the need at this point than wing. Wheeler has been ok lately. Kakko will be back and you’d hope he’s reset his season. He’s better than what he showed so far. And I think Othmann is ready to play at 22. Not a baby anymore.

I’m thinking Adam Henrique is the guy.

 

[Mike in Houston]

I don't know what the point is to bring Othmann up only to put him with Bonino and Broadstinkski.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I guess the one positive is that we don't have to see Goodrow and Bonino together.

Though I'd rather see that with the 4th line getting 5 min or less 5v5.

 

[Leonardo87]

f***ing Christ Lavi...

You ok, dude?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

You ok, dude?

Yeah why wouldn't I be? Lol.

Annoyed with the line combos, thats all.

 

[Leonardo87]

Should be a good game for Shesty to bounce back. Chicago is worse than Anaheim, yeah that bad. lol.

 

[Kovalev27]

Hate that he’s on the 4th line but if they want to bring him along slowly I guess we gotta trust this coaching staff

 

[hardnosed]

Guess Lav is insisting to keep both Will and Othmann on the left. If he does that, there's really no way to make a competent line from those bottom 6 players.

 

[Machinehead]

One of Bonino or Goodrow ends up centering the line and I'm not thrilled with either of them, so it is what it is.

I would love to just put Cuylle, Othmann, and Vesey together but that doesn't make sense.

 

[Machinehead]

Cuylle-Goodrow-Vesey should be a good line. Pitlick-Goodrow-Vesey was a decent line and Cuylle is much better than Pitlick.

 

[duhmetreE]

Othmann Brodz Kakko soon?

Bonino was tolerable to start the year. Now it's just blatantly obvious he's no longer a NHL talent. He's great at positioning..... but it doesn't override getting caved in to block shots and producing little to no offense

He needs to sit when Kakko is back

 

[will1066]

Cuylle-Goodrow-Vesey should be a good line. Pitlick-Goodrow-Vesey was a decent line and Cuylle is much better than Pitlick.

I think so as well. Hardhat type of competent forecheck I hope.

Othmann Brodz Kakko soon?

Another month and a half to go

Sitting a center after inserting a RW is a bold choice.

Idk where this idea that Brodzinski is going to play center came from. He's never done it at the NHL level.

 

[Crease]

The lineup continues to look like a Del Zaster without Chytil and Kakko.

 

[Raspewtin]

probably the worst possible combo he could’ve come up with

my god

 

[will1066]

probably the worst possible combo he could’ve come up with

my god

Hopefully it's a so bad it's good type of alchemy.

Brodz can play center

He turns 21 tomorrow.

 

[mrmovies779]

I would do Brodz, Cuylle, Othmann.. Sure they won't connect on a single pass,but all 3 love to shoot and can probably do some decent forechecking

I don't think Bonino is coming out of the lineup at all. Just the way it is.
