The Fraser-Franson pairing is still too immobile. Kinda sucks that Liles is out though :/, especially since he's one of our most experienced players...
What is the use of Hamilton-Kadri-Komarov line?
Can't be a checking line, or a scoring line.
Exactly what I mean. Keep the Lupul-Kadri-Kulemin or make a JVR-Kadri-Frattin line.

I agree he should get a chance to redeem himself but its Carlyle's job not to pair him against 1st/2nd lines, that exposes him.
Yeah, he should stay as a bottom pairing defenceman. Leave the 1st/2nd lines against Phaneuf and Gunnarsson.
well.. let's pray that we don't use those lines tomorrow.
other than the first line... the rest of them suck and it's a complete waste of kadri
Why is Liles on extra? He was on ice for 1 goal against.
In comparison, other D-men:
Phaneuf: 1 goal against
Franson: 1 goal against
Fraser: 1 goal against
Costco: 4 goals against
Gunnar: 1 PP goal against

Gunnar, Liles and Franson were our best defensemen defensively.
I am going to be in full rage mode if either of them is scratched.

Liles is the most likely. Is Gardiner over Liles that much of an upgrade?
If I was Carlyle I would run these lines
Kulimen Bozak Kessel
If the line isn't scoring at least have Kuli to play d and play even hockey
JVR - Kadri - Lupul
They have to dominate and make Boston moves Chara to them to open up Kessel's line
Frattin Grabbo Mac - they have to get some offence going (Grabbo seems to be going so they need Frattin to drive the net)
Komorov - Mclement - Orr/Maclaren/Hamilton
Phaneuf - Gunnar
O'Byrne Liles
Franson - Gardiner (might lose toughness but gets puck moving on the rush)

How can one keep Mark ****ing Fraser in and scratch Liles. The former even took a dumb delay of game penalty.
WTF is up with Carlyle and his love for AHL defensemen. Liles was fine.

I like it. Kuli-Bozak-Kessel had chemistry a few years back now. It was at the end of the season when Bozak played around 37 games or whatever it was.
Real nice second line. And I like the logic behind trying to have Chara move away from Phil and opening things up for him that way.
Would like to see it.

The bruins are tougher, end of story. We need to score goals and let them goon all they want, those 3 Pairings all have mobility and puck movers.

Its pathetic how in RC's mind Gardiners competition is Liles and Vice versa.. It shouldn't be that way.
Why don't people wait until game time tomorrow night to see see who really plays and what lines and pairings Carlyle actually uses instead of over-analyzing practice combos that may or may not be what he goes with?

He should not be sitting. I would rather see Liles and Gardiner both in. The way the Habs dominated the Bruins this year was with speed and puck movement.
Gardiner and Liles on a different pair can skate the puck out of danger and get the counterattack going.

Yes Randy, let's sit our 2nd best dman all year.
I think the only reason he doesn't like Liles is because he's not 6 feet tall... Shame, because he is a good Dman, and has playoff experience

Why the **** would you replace Gardiner with Liles? If anything we need to have both of them in the lineup.
