Calder or bust!

 

[Hammer79]

According to Farhan Lalji: (at end of 'Big deal brewing?' video on TSN's page)

Sedin Sedin Kassian
2LW - Burrows - 2RW
Raymond Schroeder Weise

Kassian gets promoted to Sedin line, Burrows plays C for first time in his career, Schroeder centres a line between Raymond and Weisse.

So filling in the blanks:

Sedin Sedin Kassian
Higgins Burrows Hansen
Raymond Schroeder Weise
Volpatti Lapierre Malhotra ?

I'm assuming Burrows isn't going to end up as 3C, but those lines could very well be flipped. I'm also not sure who gets moved to 4th line RW with Burrows moved off wing.

Calder or bust!

if he doesn't get an ovechtrick tomorrow I am going to have to call him a bust and unfollow him on twitter. I know, harsh consequences

If Burrows continues to suck I want him scratched for Barker.

Cam Barker for second line centre is a movement I can get behind.

why wouldn't higgins be centering the line with burrows? I seem to recall Gillis/AV saying the shortened season didn't leave us with time to experiment, so why throw burrows in a new role now? higgins has centred before.

I pray by the end of the game I'll be calling AV a mad genius, but I fear instead I'll just be doing this:

I can see it now, genius coaching by AV!

Weise is going to skate out and crash into the boards face first while at the exact same time Raymond falls and slides all over the ice. The Flames will be so distracted by the stupidity of Schroeders line mates he'll be left all by himself and he'll score an easy goal.

Why are you a Canucks fan if you hate our team so much?

Haha yeah. For a team with such a massive focus on faceoffs, this is one of the worst ****ing ideas I've ever heard.
