Pre-Game Talk: Week of Home with our Heads in our Asses (Wed vs. NJD, Fri vs. MIN)

[nammerus]

This team is going to come out flying tonight and shut up the haters.

Just like they did against STL.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Any team with Oliver Kyllington playing in the Top 4 is not a serious team. We need another Dman in the worst kind of way.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Healthy top 6 but still missing a 2C

 

[CobraAcesS]

Healthy top 6 but still missing a 2C

I hope he wakes up playing with Val and Drouin.

 

[myperbixhurts]

I hope he wakes up playing with Val and Drouin.

I hope so too but I have doubts

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I hope he wakes up playing with Val and Drouin.

Waking up playing with each other would suggest they're in for a hell of a night!

Let's go!

To me, the acquisition of an extra dman is simply a formality.
The question is more the quality of the player they acquire.

 

[Sea Eagles]

We'll beat New Jersey then get absolutely abused by Minnesota.

We'll win both, and win both can convincingly!

Edit: Can everyone please revisit their fire Bednar, and team is cooked after we go on that huge run that's about to occur ?

We are fighting for a cup this year.

If Makar and Toews end up playing 35 minutes, isn't it kinda like we have 2 bottom pairs in terms of ice time distribution?

I thought that’s something Colton and Wood do together

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I originally thought that as well.

But then I saw that O'Connor has zero points in his last 13 games, while Kiviranta has 1 point in his last 13. So there you go.

LoC has been stapled to the black holes that are Kelly and Kivi on the 4th line. He's never going to produce there. His only hope for points are on the PK. Bednar knows he can be a fantastic 3rd line winger, but Bednar it a stubborn mule.

He's more of a donkey at this stage, but point taken.

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Necas
Drouin - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Colton - Drury - Kiviranta
Wood - Kelly - O’Connor

Toews - Makar
Girard - Malinski
2 of Kylington/de Haan/Middleton

Blackwood
Wedgewood

Only missing Manson(and Landeskog).

Now, show me what the lineup would look like if you filling it out. I don't mind JD on Mitts wing, but I think he's better paying with Nate, although Nuke and Lehky have had problems developing chemistry before, and it's also looked like it might work before so who knows.

I think I'd like to see:
JD-Nate-Nuke
Lehky-Mitts-Necas
RosCo-Drury-LOC
Wood-Kelly-Parssinen

But please keep in mind, I have it on good authority that I am, in fact, a hockey Pejorative Slur.

This is exactly how I would build out the lines as well to see if they work.
