In praise of Appleton, Nino and Lurch. Best third line in the league.

[DeepFrickinValue]

Appleton and Nino are both playing at a point per game.

Line simply dominates.

This line started off great last season too
Notice Appleton on his contract season. Will be UFA next season.
Maybe upped his game to try to get fat contract?

I suspect Apples stays in Winnipeg and signs a similar contract to Nino. If he keeps up the play.

You can’t teach chemistry. (Unless you work for the public school system.)

 

[Royale With Cheese]

They good.

As is tradition with every player ever!

Louie De Brusk called them the best checking line in the league game 1 against the Oilers. It's not like they aren't carrying over success from last year. Maybe some weaker opponents early in the season, but this line is for real. They don't give up too many easy goals, and they genuinely look pissed when they get scored on. Their secondary scoring has been a nice surprise. Maybe good enough to get Lurch a nomination for the Selke, which is overdue.

I think Nino has added some well needed skill to that line. Big fan.

Nino and Apples are playing much better than last year and Cappy gives 100% on each and every shift, they have jelled even more this year to the Jets benefit and are a huge part of the 8-0 start.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Not to mention that Lowry has performed very well as captain. Must be one of, if not the lowest paid captains in the league.

 

[Huffer]

They are playing extremely well. Fast on pucks.

They should pin this up in the locker room.

 

[Hunter368]

Its a joy just watching them play every game

Thanks for sharing.

3 honest, hard working, no-nonsense, down to earth hockey players. This is the way.

 

[Buffdog]

We should replace Appleton with Chibs

We should replace Appleton with Chibs

Eventually we might. Need space for young players and can't afford to pay him well.

More likely that Barron replaces Nino (like Snerg did with Dillon this season) when he ages out and Chibs replaces either Barron or Iafallo on the 4th line

If we are down in a game I am actually expecting the Lowry line to be the one to score to bring us even. Which is wild.

We should replace Appleton with Chibs

And replace Nino with Lambert

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

We need it to make up for our first line.

I think that's the point

To be fair, that's because most other captains are better players than him (he's awesome in his role though).

That's true. But it says a lot about his intangibles which he is not getting paid for.
