Campbell over Spooner?It's safe to assume you are a relative of Clode?
A line consists of 3 players.

Paille Spooner Peverley is better balance IMO. Campbell and Paille on the same line instantly downgrades the offensive opportunities. Spooner and Peverley together can perhaps have some offensive chemistry, Paille being the defensive forward there.
PJ Axelsson - Kelly - Marty Lapointe
Paille - Campbell - Peverley
Mowers - Bergeron - Whitfield
Caron - Begin - Pandolfo
Clode's Dream Team
No argument there, but I posted the lines I think Claude will roll. Not the ones I personally would like to see.

Oh, my apologies. I thought those were your preferred lines.
I just want to see Spooner given a real chance here to show what he's really capable of. I hope Clode doesn't bury him on the 4th line. He'd be better off with Whitfield if that's the case, let Spooner get his ice time in Providence.

If you are going to bring up your best offensive threat from Providence, it is better to play him in an offensive role rather than trying him as a grinder on the 3rd or 4th lines.
On his 1st shift in the NHL in the Bell Centre, Claude had Spooner on the PP.
With this call-up I won't be surprised if Julien plays Ryan in Krejci's spot on the 1st line.

Nevermind.
I don't want Spooner to play between guys like Thornton or Pandolfo either but I guess this is what we'll see.
Paille - Spooner - Peverley ... I'd absolutely love that. But then again: who will center Lucic and Horton?
Hopefully we'll get some PP opportunities just so Spoons can play with some skill guys.

That's the best he'll get, but there's no way Clode's gonna throw him out on the 1st line.
You're aware you're talking about a cup-winning coach, 3rd most victories in Bruins history, right?
And you're just a poster, & not a great one, on a message board.
Pathetic.

I'd try Seguin with Lucic and Horton. Put Caron alongside Bergeron and Marchand?

Fluto is suggesting:
Milan Lucic-Rich Peverley-Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Tyler Seguin
Jay Pandolfo-Ryan Spooner-Jordan Caron
Daniel Paille-Gregory Campbell-Shawn Thornton
For those who think Seguin should center Lucic and Horton: why in the world would you sacrifice the point production of your most successful line -- arguably your "first" line -- just to put Seguin between two struggling wingers? You think their struggles are on Krejci? You would have to if you think Seguin is the answer. For the record, I think you are wrong.

Oh yeah, forgot about Caron. That would work, but it's very unlikely.
I'm still excited though.
Both Seguin and Spooner playing at center ... good stuff.

I'm still amazed Claude put Spooner out on the PP in Montreal and at the point- I'm watching and thinking wtf, I can't even remember him playing that in Providence and there is Claude with Spooner and Dougie together out there
Seguin gave Claude a nervous stomach Ryan probably will to, but he's got much better defensively (Dom can explain that)
I got a feelling if Spooner plays and gets double digit minutes he scores tomorrow night
Claude loves a good vet that is for sure- I still get pissed thinking of Yelle

What is the point of keeping McDermid with the big club if he cant crack the lineup when the team is down two forwards?

I think they should send Pandolfo down and bring Bourque back up until we get someone better

i agree that this is what we will see. But does anyone like the look of that third line... have fun spooner.
The fact that we call Pevs Raptor is amusing to me.
Raptor Jesus forever!
I like the lineup but flip Raptor and Seguin.

We thought Bourque was bad, he is the second coming of Wayne compared to Pandawfulol.

I was thinking the same thing.
Does he have to clear waivers to be sent down?
The positive for Lane is that he is being paid at a NHL salary versus an AHL one irregardless if he plays a game.
I think Seguin should center Looch and Horton and it has nothing to do with Krejci being the problem or not. Seguin is our most naturally gifted offensive player and there's a chance he's a good complement to both Looch and Horton. It looked very promising the few times they played together so far this year. Pev is a lesser player than Krejci, so we make our first line even worse by playing him there.
I also happen to think that unlike Looch and Horton, Marchand and Bergeron will make good things happen no matter who they play with. I'd have no problem if Pev, Caron or Spooner played with them.
Looch - Seguin - Horton
Marchand - Bergy - Caron
Pev - Spooner - Paille
Pandolfo - Campbell - Thornton
