Change Pacioretty and Bourque, three way rotation with Sekac , Weise and Moen and we got a team

 

[Andy]

Meh, don't care anymore. MT will do his thing regardless of whether we whine or not.

 

[HeShootsHeScores]

I'd put Sekac back in. I don't understand why MT would scratch a hard working talented physical player like him...

For the changes I have no problem. We'll see if pleky is productive without galchy and we'll see if galchy can help bourque.

My guess is when sekac comes back in it's for good. Maybe just a little scare to push him to be at his best.

 

[void]

Will the Sekac/Bournival ever play again?

Weise is on our first line. Let that sink in.

 

[Camio]

What did Sekac do? He wasnt extremely impressive but he was far from being the worst forward when he played.

 

[JuicyHam]

Dont mind any of these lines, it shakes things up I guess. I'll give eller on the wing another try. Its the PP combos that need to change as well.

Well we know who our new first line in everything but icetime is... Bourque-Galchenyuk-Gallagher. Congratulations to Bourque for the promotion... I'm just not sure which will be our unofficial third line, i.e. which will produce less, the Desharnais or Plekanec line.

 

[c3z4r]

They should bring back Darche & put him on the second line, move Prust on the third and move Bourque and Eller on the fourth.

Grinders on every line!

 

[Natey]

I don't hate the lines, at least he's trying to adjust... but Weise is not a Top-6 player.

 

[hoc123]

I hate it yet love it at the same time

 

[Team_Spirit]

1st PP is still without our most skilled players i bet?

 

[Andy]

I don't hate the lines, at least he's trying to adjust... but Weise is not a Top-6 player.

Yes and no. He still stubbornly refuses to split up Patches and DD. Trying Eller on the wing again. He also just won't address the Rene Bourque issue. Instead of giving him less rope, he's giving him more opportunities when he doesn't really deserve it.. Maybe he actually does start producing though since he won't really be relied on to create much. With Gallagher and Galchenyuk he can afford to be a passenger offensively and wait for some garbage.

The only real switch I'd try is Eller on the RW. I think in 2012-2013 he played on the RW with Pacioretty and DD for a game or two and looked better there than he does on the left. Also, when he rushes the puck through the neutral zone, Eller has a tendency to move to the right side of the ice more.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I figured we would see Weise on the DD-Patches line simply because of the two assists by Weise on Patches last two goals.

Obviously, not a fan of Eller on the wing over DD.. but its to be expected. Hoping Galchenyuk takes the center promotion and runs with it so it can facilitate the inevitable replacement of DD on the top line.

Still riding the Sekac and Bournival in for Prust/Moen train.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I like it except for the fact that Bourque is still playing

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well nice to see Galchenyuk at center, but seriously are Bournival & Sekac not going to play unless there are injuries? Bournival should be in the AHL if Therrien isn't going to play him.

Considering our lack of offence right now Sekac should be in over Bourque. But MT...

I bet René Bourque starts producing now.

 

[Markov4Captain]

Sekac and Bournival should both be sent down to Hamilton. Its obvious management is trying to move Moen so he isn't getting scratched until we find a home for his contract. I highly doubt Weise sticks on the first line but wtever, Therrien will do his thing and it will miraculously work out.

I just wish we had some stability when it came to our lines. Guys need time to develop chemistry.

 

[lo striver]

sounds like MT just pulled names out of a hat helmet

I call this progress. Like in a sailing race, this ship was due for a change of tack. The solution to an anemic offence starts with Galchenyuk at center.

Edit: that said, MT's mind manoeuvers more like an oil tanker or an aircraft carrier than a catamaran .

 

[SirClintonPortis]

I bet René Bourque starts producing now.

He'll hit the post, miss the net, or fumble the puck.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

I guess Therrien went there...

 

[Andy]

I bet René Bourque starts producing now.

Probably. I wouldn't be surprised. He wouldn't be relied on as much to create something. Less pressure might do him a world of good. He can wait for the chances to come to him now instead of partaking in the creating. Gallagher is good at creating space and Chucky is great at exploiting it. Bourque just has to make sure that when the chances come his way that he doesn't whiff or fumble the puck.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Lol, since when has DD-Pacioretty reached Getzlaf-Perry levels of inseparablility. They are so great, grinders like Weise can produce at a 40 pt pace!!!.

Anyone who plays with Chuckie will start to produce. He's that good.
