Post-Game Talk: Laval Lose 2nd Straight Game 5-2 to Rochester. Singing the 1st Line Blues. - Post #349

Scherbak would look great with Chucky, they have a similar skillset but I think Scherby prefers to pass (even though he's got a nice shot too).

Pacioretty - Drouin - Lekhonen
Hudon - Galchenyuk - Scherbak (with some sheltering)
Byron - Danault - Gallagher
DLR - Plekanec - Shaw

That little Scherbak play was Malkin-esque.

Very happy with Scherbak's start. Another 2 assists tonight.

Let Scherbak (and McCarron for that matter) fully develop in the AHL. No reason to drag them in this dumpster fire.

I share this opinion.

I know you're a fervent Chucky supporter but it seems like Chucky at center is not an option right now...

I would seriously try Plekanec between Chucky and Scherbak...

Plekanec is where offence goes to die.
I don't see what's wrong with something like :

Pacioretty - Drouin - Hudon
Lekhonen - Galchenyuk - Scherbak
Byron - Danault - Gallagher

The LW expirement is obviously not working and I know my lineup will never happen. That doesn't surprise me at all but that doesn't change the fact that it makes us more offensively creative.

We need to stop giving big minutes to older players. I want to see what our kids can do in a role that makes sense for their skillset.

He will be there to just take FO and provide a solid defensive play.

Tell Pacioretty to GTFO and put:
Hudon - Drouin - Lehkonen
Reway - Galchenyuk - Scherbak

This is me projecting my wishful future Top-6.

Hudon and Lehkonen are not top line material imo...

Holland and Schmidt out...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Holland and Eisenschmid both hurt and not returning tonight. With the 3-in-3 coming up, they may want to not push their luck.

Why play the big mccarroni first line center, if, and it's a big if he makes the nhl as a regular he will be a fourth line winger, good for pk, hit and fight. Develop the guy properly for the next level!

 

[Adam Michaels]

A 5-on-3 coming up for WBS.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Wow. Lindgren has been on fire since the 2nd period. And in the 3rd, he's becoming the story.

 

[pled]

I hope bourque dont spend the year on the bench :\

 

[Suzuki x 14]

Lindgren has definitely picked up, so very key and BIG saves

 

[Adam Michaels]

I just jinxed the guy, damn it! Sprong gets his hat trick and makes it 5-5.

 

[Suzuki x 14]

should have had that one, hard shot but 5 hole, should have been stopped

(not gonna line though, Being one of his old coaches, I love seeing Daniel score)

 

[Belial]

So the rich are getting richer once again?

Pens know how to draft and develop their players. No big mystery there.

Sprong was available... Habs picked Juulsen !

yup, he was passed over by everyone because of his "attitude"
A terrible excuse that doesnt exist, his only attitude is he hates to lose

Hating to lose makes you a bad person with not enough rispek. Anyway in MB book it does.

Because that's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. If McCarron is put into a position to thrive, ie: first line center in the AHL, he'll have the confidence to play at the NHL level in whatever position he's thrown in. It's the way it should be for any prospect we want to develop.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good job by Rocket to ensure the 1 point. Another high scoring game for Laval.
