Line Combos: Assuming Paille is out

[Mione134]

If Pie can't go, bring someone up. Caron brings nothing to the table. Nice kid but he brings nothing. Sorry.

 

[DNE3]

Why Flores, Guys? What have you seen in three games?

With Florek, it's his development and performance the last two years in Providence. Florek appears to be the better player.

 

[Axxellien]

The Man!

Call Somesone!

 

[CrownofThornton]

Bring someone up please.

Caron is just incapable in all facets of the game.

 

[Axxellien]

The Man!

Caron is the Man!

 

[BMC]

DAMN, I'M GONNA SHUT UP NOW!!

No worries, it's all good

I have seen 0 Providence games, how has Camara looked? He certainly has the grit of a playoff warrior. Any chance he could get a chance over Caron if Caron continues to be mind meltingly awful (he will)?

I'd say Spooner but I think if Spooner was going to get that spot, they would've played him on the wing more often here down the stretch when he was called up. Maybe he's not comfortable on the wing. Plus Spooner's size/strength would make him a liability in the playoffs, I think.

We'll see who they use their 3 call ups on tomorrow.

Caron is the Man!

Repent, my friend. You'll feel better.

To me, Florek plays more closely to Paille's skill set, quick, defensively solid, makes smart decisions...but it will probably Caron, unfortunately

Chia needs to find a way to dump Caron in the offseason. Otherwise he will continue to impede the progress of better NHL prospects. But for now not much choice.

I choose option B- Paille returns to full health and plays by the second series of postseason.

Incredibly happy if this is true! Love Piesie!

The lines as I see them opening night:

Thanks for making me smile.

 

[trenton1]

I doubt we see Paille for at least a month--way too many bell ringings this year.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Just like the Bruins were fine with Daugavins last year?

Exactly.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Claude is a joke if he plays Caron over even a cardboard cutout of Mark Mowers

 

[TCL40]

If Paille is out, I'd bring up Ftorek for the 4th line..

This.

Wow, you'd rather bring up a 62 year old over Jordie? Ouch!

#38 looked ok today on the 4th line, I guess I'd go with him - I'd rather have Krug playing defense over Meszaros, and I barely trust Krug at wing.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

What would you rather see for a playoff lineup?

Jordan Caron on the 4th line, or 7 d-men?

I'd honestly go the latter route, we can fill that 4th line spot in many ways, everyone from Bergy, Krejci, Smith, Loui, Yeti, or Kelly could easily double it, and as a result we can protect Krug and hold him back at even strength(or give him a couple shifts at wing).

I know it's virtually inevitable that this will turn into another bash Caron thread, we have enough of those, but it's not the intention. I just want to prompt discussion on what would be the best lineup for the playoffs without Paille.

That sounds like a good idea.A line of Caron-Campbell-Thornton is not a line that could play regularly.

so did mark savard

Careful all.

 

[Kelly23]

so did mark savard

Careful all.

Savard cheated, Paille is not going to do that, also a hell of a lot harder to cheat on the first test, the follow up is easier.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Paille might take a game off but this is Carons spot so obviously its not much of a question what we do.

Maybe this will mean Paille comes in for Thornton after a game or two out.

 

[KuralySnipes]

Assuming the Bergeron thing was just a precautionary thing, I think the only thing we really need to worry about is Paille.

It's going to be Caron on the 4th line, unfortunately.

Hopefully Pie comes back soon
