Lines are starting to look sort of like what one would think.

 

[DL44]

Line tinkering continues.... Boeser's return bumps Chiasson for now...
Miller looks like he may get some Center duty...

When Green reunites the Lotto line (probably in the second peried...), Lammikko probably replaces Miller, Hoglander replaces Lammikko.

 

[Petey O]

It's on the 19th not 18th

 

[M2Beezy]

Thread title is nice, but should include his full name OP

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I think I'm going to call Boeser Kingslayer from now on. Not only for the hair but because he has 7 goals and 11 points in 10 games vs the Kings.

Welcome back Kingslayer

not sure those are representative of the lines considering no Hughes

 

[geebaan]

Why no Hughes?

 

[IDJOTBOY]

Why no Hughes?

Hopefully it’s just maintenance. The man played 27+ mins all 3 games so far

 

[RussianRacket]

WE WILL WIN. YOU KNOW WE WILL.

GO CANUCKS GO!

 

[Bankerguy]

I must have posted it at least 10 times minimum "Once Boeser is back JT.Miller will play 3C"
There you go.

I also predict that they want Hoglander or Garland with Miller but only if someone steps up and can play 1LW with Petey. A few good games from Podz and that may happen.

Why no Hughes?

Rested at discretion...not necessity

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Buffalo undefeated in their first two games

I was surprised by that and then I looked at their opponents, Yotes, and Habs.

 

[VanillaCoke]

How long before Miller looks frustrated or disinterested with dowling and Podkolzin

 

[wonton15]

I don’t know if I like Miller at 3C right now. Doesn’t look like a confident play driver that can carry Dowling/Pod right now, and I think we need to reunite the 649 line to rebuild that chemistry early.
Pearson should be dropped down to line 3 too. Hoglander Horvat Garland should be a thing

How long before Miller looks frustrated or disinterested with dowling and Podkolzin

23 seconds

Dowling is on line 3. Not sure that makes it a scoring line. Especially with Podz who is still finding his way in his rookie season.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

I don't like Miller at C, but I have never coached in the NHL so I'm not allowed to have an opinion on coaching moves. I will have to defer to Green's better judgement.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Hughes looked so tired last game in the 3rd, but they just kept putting him out there, now he's having maintenance days this early into the season yikes.

I'm not buying that. That's not normal for regular season play at the beginning of the season, particularly after a 2 day rest.

You'd see this either in the pre-season when the games don't matter, or at the end of the season when your playoff placing is guaranteed. You don't see this 4 games into the regular season.

Well at least we know he doesn't have Long Covid. Wasn't he one the players who got fairly sick?

 

[Sedinery]

Took 3 games but apparently Green has finally taken direction from people that seem to actually know hockey

no clue why it took 3 games to figure out podz needs to play on the 3rd line or above, he is not a 4th line grinder.

Finally took Chiasson straight out of the lineup

all he needs to do now is swap pearson and podz. Pearson is dragging down his line

green will get there eventually, we all know he is a bit slow on the uptake

Everyone but Dowling seems fine, and we all know he's just a place holder for Motte.
