Zucc on 3rd line?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Thank god KZB LIVES!!!!!!

Zucc not so much on the 3rd line but rather with miller.(Step up imo)

 

[NickyFotiu]

Zooks with JT is way over due. They pass well together. Neither hogs the puck. They cycle well together. Zooks is usually the first guy back on defense so he can help JT in that regard. Good move AV.

 

[kovazub94]

Better Zuke with Miller instead of Hayes. Call up Lettieri for a shot at that 4LW spot. Finally, DD is out

Going to this one! Hopefully the losing streak stops at 2!

 

[Mac n Gs]

See ya never DD. Get Leivo or Soshnikov from TML, plug then into Carey’s spot, and roll with that forward group

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lines arent bad, Miller Zucc and Grabner can work. Fast on the 2nd with Nash though is .... interesting.

 

[Ail]

Actually pretty surprised DD is sitting.

I think that’s more about Hayes+Fast than anything. Fast and Hayes play very well together

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Miller to center is the right move

And AV ain’t breaking up KZB for good. They literally saved his job against Vegas.

He’s f***ing dense but he wasn’t gonna break them up long term

 

[Ori]

Zucc on 3rd line?

Yeah why not - he has success on the third line early in his career. Zucc is struggling with self confidence and to get that back it help to play against 3rd pair or 2nd pair NHL defenders - instead of NHL top pair defenders all the time. Hayes line is our shutdown line with Fast on it for sure.
I really like the new line combinations - hopefully we can start producing with more than 1 line.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Brady and Shatty were watching SNL last night and a skit came on where a guy played Brady. Brady had no idea he was going to be part of a skit.

 

[Ori]

Actually pretty surprised DD is sitting.

Not really - he is not playing well recently and he has struggled in defensive zone.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Big fan of these lines. Our top 9 get similar ice time, so Zucc on the third doesn't bother me. Hopefully being away from Nash and Hayes will do him a world of good. I'd sooner try out any one of a number of our young Hartford guys over Carey, but no complaints here.

Hey whatever works. Right? Anyway will be at the game tonight l, so far I'm 2-0 hopefully that continues lol

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

So Dijonnaise was good enough to get the final minutes of the game and be an extra skater but at the same time bad enough to get scratched the next game....

Yes, Lettieri in and Carey out. Carey sucks.

Henrik’s playing right? Thought this would be a good time to get Pavelec in. I know they’ve had days off between games but Henrik’s on pace to log a ton of games which isn’t good.

They are going to ride Hank while the schedule is manageable. If we had Raanta it may be a different story. The schedule is favorable with 1,2 and even 3 days off between games until a back to back 12/8-12/9.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Yeah I don’t get them having Hank play so many games

Dude is gonna be run into the ground

I read somewhere at this current pace he wil play somewhere in the high 60’s this year

That’s insane

I think with the favorable schedule with some days off they are playing the guy who gives them the best chance to win. Metro is real tough and they can't be falling farther behind and it's not like he is playing back to backs. They have played only 2 games the last week. I think he will get his rest when schedule starts to get more condensed but it may be that he plays 60 games this year because of the alternative who is Pavelec.

AV addressed that recently. They haven't had a high frequency of games yet so Hank should be plenty rested. Once this changes I'd expect he will get his days offs.

 

[Hire Sather]

Why not get Letteri up here? Carey stinks.

 

[Larrybiv]

Jesper has been......well, Jesper. Good for him. Not an advocator of Nash with Hayes, but Hayes has been playing well and could continue Nashers hot streak.
More importantly though......we need Zuccha to start tearing it up. Need much more from him offensively.
That 4th line is scary and hoping they dont get 10 minutes each.

 

[Larrybiv]

Oh and......is it too late for a little retribution? I dislike their coach. That obnoxious little butthole.
