Player Discussion Josh Norris (C) 6’-1” - Part 3

[Tuna99]

Having Pinto back creates depth. Put Norris at 3rd center if you want Pinto on the secind line.

I think the fact that Pinto takes the harder matchup is a key to our success, it’s like the opposition gets weaker in the top 6 because of Pinto’s defensive play and our team gets stronger in the top 6 because Norris gets an easier matchup especially in offensive zone face offs.

Expect big things from Norris now that Pinto is back, the ice will open up a bit for that entire line

Norris had a killer game tonight. Him and Brady have been great together.

Chuck Norris duo is going to cause some damage this year. They were both fantastic last night

I want to see Batherson back with them.

Stu with G and Greig could be good

Yeah and move giroux back to rw and Greig on lw.

I've been liking Stu and Bath together. Two most talented forwards, who can think the game at a high level. Play well off the rush and cycle. G complements them well with his smarts, and faceoff ability.

Norris and Chucky with Grieg have good sandpaper and straight line games.

Yes, I don't mind either line.

I am curious if the Tkachuk Norris Bath line can find their previous chemistry and give us a truly dominant line.

The Stu line would be a pain in the ass and competent offensively.

Just spitballing.

Both lines have been playing well. Just sever lack of finish.

I would tinker with the lines. Unless we can get a serious replacement for Greig

For a team with a severe lack of finish, we're still 13th league wide in goals per game...

All kidding aside, scoring has really dropped off in Nov, we were 3rd at the end of October, PP has really cooled off and needs to be better, and 5v5 hasn't faired much better. Ups and downs will happen, the underlying numbers for scoring are actually better in Nov,
