Greig-Pinto-Amadio is our best line

[NyQuil]

The PGA line is a very double-edged sword.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Best shutdown line, sure.

I was wrong. Best line, periodt.

 

[NyQuil]

I was wrong. Best line, periodt.

And they have been for awhile.

 

[Boud]

They are unbelievable.

The line finished the game each with a +3 while going head to head with the Suzuki line. That’s really impressive.

Their work on the cycle is a coach’s wet dream and they are all responsible and smart players.

I love Amadio. He’s so good in battles it’s a treat to watch.

 

[Boggletrax]

Yea this trio is top end. Grieg leader in TOI among forwards again. When Brady is back Zetts goes to L4 easy, or if 28 can't keep pace, he's more likely to move down 5v5. JOKERS saying Amadio should move to L4. Playoff TOI prediction if full health:
71-12-22
7-18-28
57-24-19
21-81-20 or 20-21-81/15/42/59

And they have been for awhile.

Was absolutely wild how many people wanted to break this line up. After tilting the ice against tampa and Cooper moved Kucherov to a different line to get him away from them. Still saw all sorts of fans moving Amadio to the 4th line.

 

[ottawagm]

Our new Vermette - Kelly - Neil line, although they were a 4th line at times.

 

[Alex1234]

By far

 

[mysens]

This line certainly stood out last night. Good for them.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Only watched the first period last night but both Amadio and Greig have really elevated their games. Impressive.

I’m a big fan of Greig, so very happy to see him emerging.

I'd wager that we go with this in the playoffs...

7-18-28
57-24-19
71-12-22
21-81-20

On another note, our D has the most clearly defined rankings 1-6 in team history. I don't think anyone can argue that our D best to worst is...

Forward lines look good. When Jensen is healthy I would slot him above Zub but they are at least a pick 'em.

Eh, I'd say 3 over 2, tbh.

 

[Agent Zub]

Id say 2 over 72.

If we had to choose only one to go into a game against Toronto, Tampa, Washington, easy pick.

 

[Tuna99]

Alfie is the best 2 way forward weve ever had. Stone, Fisher, Vermette, Kelly on that list. But Greig might be #2 on that list - can’t say anought about how good this kid is especially 5 feet within the net. His hands and vision around the crease are excellent

 

[armani]

The Pinto line should be etched in Stone (pun intended). This is the type of depth you win with. They give Ottawa another 2nd line really. Line 2b for now.

As I had said a few weeks back, this iteration of Amadio is a good 2-way forward, you can see he learned a lot as Mark Stone’s linemate in Vegas. The way he casually wins battles and steals pucks, mostly with his stick, reach and positioning despite not being the fastest.

I stand by declaring this the best 3rd line since Schaefer-Fisher-Neil. The only 3rd line better was Arvedson-Bonk-Hossa when Marion was a rookie. Magnus Arvedson was a Selke runner up.

I'm still surprised Green moved Amadio for Zetterlund. I get he wanted to provide him more of an opportunity, but this line is the definition of how every line should play and compete.

If Stu can find his offensive touch before the playoffs, we will have 3 very solid lines.

What about Schaefer-Fisher-Havlat?

 

[NyQuil]

What about Schaefer-Fisher-Havlat?

The Wasabi line.

 

[armani]

What about Schaefer-Fisher-Havlat?

I loved that line too. Pinto line is better. Neil was the right fit as Havlat was more suited as a top-6 forward. Such was the depth when you’re playing behind Alfie and Hossa as a RW.

Both Greig and Pinto are far from finished products. So excited about their growth and chemistry with Amazing Amadio. Greig is our Marchand.

Schaefer-Fisher-Neil is another good reference for them. Honestly, with another round of tweaks this summer to fix the Stutzle and 4th line + 3rd D pair, we could be in the cup mix next year.

This year, we are in Conference finals conversation baby. Full strength, even with the rookie pairing 3rd pair, at all their best, we can dream of a 2017 run. This team is as competitive as any in the Eastern conference. Despite the fact that I am not a huge fan of line 4, the returning Cousins and Tkachuk will force Green to sit one of his bosom buddies in Highmore and Gaudette. Gaudette still produces here and there, No More Highmore sucks ass so he will be my candidate to sit/get sent down. Nobody will claim him, as he cannot play in the playoffs and I don’t know why a dime a dozen player will be targetted by a jabronie team such as Buffalo.

Gaudette played his best when Cousin and Big Mac Ewwy MacEwen were his linemates. Too bad Mac is currently injured. That wasn’t a bad line 4.

We may see this:

Cousins-Gaudette-Perron/Giroux/Zetterlund. Not the worst case scenario.

 

[The Grey Wizard]

Been lurking here for a while, but I believe the reasoning behind moving Amadio is how bad we feel about downgrading Giroux to line 4. Tkachuck-stu-zet should be tried. Line 3 and 4 shouldn’t be modified leaving Giroux the odd man out on the 4th.

Came here to post this article as well.

Thought was a really good article and certainly leans on the positive side for the future of both the Sens & the Habs and then leans further into the Pinto & Greig and their development this season.
