I was wondering at first why Toffoli was off the power play.

I believe John Lu has it right below:

Glad Anderson off that unit.

Laughing. Crying. Likely drinking

 

[Tuggy]

Well that wasn't what I was expecting.

We'll see.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Somewhat expected.

MB seemed to zero in on KK and Evans lack of experience. He added “even Danault...”, but you could tell those 2 were in his thoughts at trade time.

that’s some good depth ... KK can eat more ice time than Evans, 4 lines rolled.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

One thing to keep in mind, with our condensed schedule we will probably be rolling 4 lines pretty evenly over the next few weeks.

Unlike Julien, Ducharme makes changes in game.. we will probably see our centres moved up/down the lineup regularly based on who is playing well.

 

[Hannibal]

Poor KK lol

Definitely. Things are not set in stone under Ducharme.

I expect icetime to be fairly even.

 

[Deebs]

Don't mind these lines at all. Try them out, see how it goes and make adjustments accordingly.

 

[Cookie007]

Prob with KK was that he had a good game with byron and lehky in Ottawa. DD prob thinks they have “chemistry”

 

[Skip Bayless]

Amazing, pretty close to what I had posted. Great lines.

 

[Rob Sense]

So much for those calling for Staal on wing or 4th line. Hate it when i am right

 

[Runner77]

I'm working on a GDT for tonight's game. Should be up within the next two hours.

There were only a couple that thought he was going to wing, they just posted about it ad nauseum

 

[McGees]

Jeez Dom, you’re really making KK a 4th line now?

 

[Deebs]

Great matchups for that line. They should put up some points

 

[417]

It's a great confidence booster right?

 

[Deebs]

It's a great confidence booster right?

Putting up points, absolutely

 

[yianik]

I get handing Staal the keys, but KK likely wasted with Byron and Leks, as neither of those two have the offensive instincts to play with him.j
