Haha love the face swaps

 

[Pens x]

No Lafferty in the lineup?

Just gotta get Sceviour and Jank out of the lineup, and bump Erod down a line.

 

[Night Shift]

Evan Horshack

 

[Andy99]

No Lafferty in the lineup?

Just gotta get Sceviour and Jank out of the lineup, and bump Erod down a line.

In many respects, Laff should be the first player scratched

 

[HandshakeLine]

What a great GDT!

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

I thought carter wasn’t a center anymore?

 

[Ugene Magic]

I thought carter wasn’t a center anymore?

Apparently he feels he can still do it.

 

[mpp9]

I thought carter wasn’t a center anymore?

Dunno if I like bumping McCann from center to play Carter there. But I guess we’ll find out what Carter has left pretty early here.

 

[Andy99]

Dunno if I like bumping McCann from center to play Carter there. But I guess we’ll find out what Carter has left pretty early here.

I think it’s a definitely a function of Sully’s mindset on where McCann ultimately fits best in the lineup and I agree with him: he should be a top six LW

 

[Peat]

I thought carter wasn’t a center anymore?

Hasn't played it much that year, but we'll see whether that was just to let LA get its C prospects playing, or whether he doesn't have it in the tank.

 

[mpp9]

I think it’s a definitely a function of Sully’s mindset on where McCann ultimately fits best in the lineup and I agree with him: he should be a top six LW

I mean, he’s played his best hockey at center. I think it’s more a function of Sullivan not wanting to play him at center long term. Carter gives him the excuse to bump him to wing.

 

[HandshakeLine]

These 9 am classes are really cutting into my hockey watching time, so I’m gonna sit this one out.

Just copy and paste me laughing with all of my friends, just out of the frame, having a great time anytime anything happens

 

[Darren McCord]

I mean, he’s played his best hockey at center. I think it’s more a function of Sullivan not wanting to play him at center long term. Carter gives him the excuse to bump him to wing.

Has he? Or has he play his best hockey on the PP. Most of his points recently have come on the PP.

He has 5 points in his last 5 games. They are all PP.

His EVS numbers those games are. 0g 0a 0pts - 7 44% FO

Those are horrible numbers at center.

 

[chethejet]

Carter fills two needs RW and center until, Kap and Malkin return. But speed on the wings will help him keep it simple in north south game. I actually prefer him playing center as RH with size and scoring ability with Zucker. When healthy:
Jake Sid Rust
McCann Geno Kap
Zucker Carter E Rod/ Tanev
Reese TB Lafferty/Angelo
E Rod until the playoffs when Tanev is back.

 

[mpp9]

If Carter can get Zucker going, build him a statue because this team is going places.

True.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Oh snap I was right about Zucker on RW
Think it might help him having better shooting angles. Here's hopin.

Jake Sid Rust
McCann Geno Kap
Zucker Carter E Rod/ Tanev
Reese TB Lafferty/Angelo
E Rod until the playoffs when Tanev is back.

I have Gaudreau in over Laff or Angello, even if it's as a winger.
53% CF despite 73% D-zone starts. 10 takeaways to 3 giveaways. 53% in the dot. Solid PK'er. Top lad.
Laff's improved lately but the dumb penalties are getting to be pretty annoying. Never know when he'll make that dire giveaway too.

 

[Daeni10]

Wait isnt the game tomorrow?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Wait isnt the game tomorrow?

Yes.

 

[harmonica]

Flyers are trash. Looking forward to Carter scoring on them.

 

[gopens66]

Awesome GDT!
Side-note:
I'm a teacher and anytime a boy over-enthusiastically raises his hand with vocal accompaniment, I say, "Settle down, Horshack," and call on somebody else. When they ask what that means I tell them. Mainly because I don't want them Googling "whore shack."

Or we want to see what Carter has playing C. I think its been 2 years since. Mys well give him a look, we know McCann can play the wing

That whole line reeked, it couldnt get broken up soon enough. They looked OK one game but other then that. Dont know if Carter makes a difference there but Im glad its done

 

[Pens x]

Who has the job of telling Carter that if he makes one mistake, man bear pig 2.0 takes his spot in the lineup immediately?

Sully, why did Carter get benched for a guy you sat for the playoffs last year and then traded at the end of the season?

uhhhh he was let lagged. The 5 hour flight 3 days ago was grueling. We need to ease him in.
