Excited to see what the 3rd line can do!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Bring on the carnage. I've been waiting for a McLeod, Holloway, Perry line! Like Kane's game against the Hawks and think he and Nugent Hopkins pair well on Line 2. But hope The Stack Line 1 is a temporary thing to conduct some lineup chemistry experiments.

Welcome back @5!

Oh I’m still waaaaay down south but I have halfway decent internet and a few hours down time so I figured I’d scratch the forum itch for a while lol.



Perry on 2nd unit PP as well. Nice.

Sounds like an awesome adventure. Good for you!

That's an interesting PP2 line-up. A bit surprised it doesn't have McLeod with wing options Kane, Perry and Foegele.

McLeod and Holloway are probably better for PP2 than Kane and Foegs.

The turtle with the hares.

 

[Canovin]

PGT already?!?!

Oh right it's Perry Game Thread

 

[Cloned]

Hope the stack is temporary.

They still play haphazardly with the puck and give up chances they shouldn’t.

Was thinking same. Foegele on a bit of a heater so maybe that’s the reason but McLoed being a natural C and hot as well would be my pick too.

 

[McHelpus]

Nurse - Josi
Ekholm - Bouchard

My dream

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Personally, I'd rather have Kane who's a volume shooter and a good contrast to the pass heavy PP1 style. He's a proven NHL finisher. But Kane and Perry will be fun to watch with their heavy, greasy play style in hard areas. Though need someone aka McLeod to get them pucks.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Agreed, having someone with the skills and finishing ability of Perry should really help those 2.

 

[rboomercat90]

Do we need to send somebody down to activate Perry or was Erne’s demotion enough?

Think we are good with Erne down. Sitting around 150k of cap space right now.

Also didn't realize we called Kemp back up lol

I wonder if it’s a bit of a test. Both have been much better defensively and for the most part have played with a bit more care with the puck. I wonder if KK wants to see if they will continue that when they’re paired or if they go back to bad habits

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

I think PP2 needs McLeod. He's basically the zone entry guy. Nitpicking though.

 

[Play]

Best third line in hockey

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Ooh I like those lines.

This is my thought too. Not sure who out of Kane, Foegele, Perry is supposed to be the guy leading a break in and distributing the puck. One is too slow and the other two can't make plays.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Draisaitl hasn't scored in 3 games.

I feel like that is about to change.

 

[joestevens29]

Ooh I like those lines.

Honestly I don't know what kind of make up of lines would make me dislike them at this point.

So many guys just clicking, it's as if they know their roles and just go out and play the game now.

Pfft Connor Brown wishes

That’s a mean PP2 line. Game plan might be dump the puck in and then bully them until you get a scoring chance.

I wonder if you change that 2nd PP group, Take Ekholm off and go with 4 forwards?

Perry

Kane Foegele

McLeod Nurse


That might really work.

Quickie PGT!

Looks like Gagner will be the scratch.

The nice thing about these lines, is that most of the guys on the bottom six are or will be part of some special teams, to get them more ice time, and into the game more. Janmark, Brown, Ryan and McLeod killing penalties, and Perry with 2nd unit PP duty.
