I bet the lines are what you posted, but Grigorenko and Mitchell switch spots. Either way, at least the top-6 is how it should be.

 

[henchman21]

Well Marty-MacK-Duchene has been confirmed.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

I would love for these lines to stick, but I think Roy was just shuffling things up to make it look like he hadn't given up last game. I imagine grigs will get the 4th line treatment. Prove me wrong Roy!!

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Sadowski confirms Grigs will center the old dudes. It would be pretty cool for him to assist on #600.

 

[dahrougem2]

Rantanen can't get here fast enough so I don't have to watch Martinsen on our "1st line" any longer

 

[Joe Sakic]

These lines are terrible imo.

Get Martinsen off that top line and put Mitchell with the old dudes.

 

[dahrougem2]

Get Martinsen off that top line and put Mitchell with the old dudes.

After the game Mitchell just had the other night he deserves to be playing on the 4th line.

However, I'd make the switch to put Grigorenko with MacK and Duchene, and have Mitchell centre the old dudes purely to get Grigorenko offensive minutes

 

[Stories]

Why Martinsen gets the minutes he gets, I'll never understand unless he goes on a scoring spree.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Not fond of those lines at all...the Martinsen top 6 experiment needs to end, hes just not capable of that at this time, if ever and Grigorenko needs to be given an extended look in a scoring role more than freaking Martinsen.

Grigorenko-Mack-Duchene
Landeskog-Soda-Comeau
Tanguay-Mitchell-Iginla
McLeod-Martinsen-Skille

He hits dudes. Although I don't think he's been as good after he was moved off Soderberg's line.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I like Martinsen just not in the top 6. I also miss Wagner.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I agree with this. Poor Wagner but there are no injuries so he's just going to have to wait.

That won't work because we wouldn't have a center on the 4th line, just three wingers.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Not even the Avs site knows whose on the third pairing...

http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=795926

Francois Beauchemin—Erik Johnson
Nick Holden—Tyson Barrie
Brandon Gormley or Nate Guenin or Zach Redmond

 

[Avs_19]

Good to see Grigorenko get moved up. Next step should be him on the PP over Comeau.

Mitchell back on the 4th line, where he belongs. He's very good there but mostly awful when he gets asked to do too much on a scoring line.

Gormley needs to stay in on the third pairing no matter what. Redmond was brutal the other day but fine the few games before that. Keep him in over Guenin.

Thought the presser today was interesting for once. Frei asks about Drouin, Roy actually mentions Zadorov and Bigras, Roy says he's giving Grigo a shot, basically says Varly is playing the next 4 games, talked about almost picking up someone on waivers who used to play for Quebec, I didn't catch who they were talking about.

 

[dahrougem2]

That won't work because we wouldn't have a center on the 4th line, just three wingers.

It would work because in that lineup Martinsen isn't even playing and Wagner would be centering the 4th line

Well that's not happening.

 

[InjuredChoker]

player they almost claimed, JAM?

 

[AvsFanRCN]

Edit: Fixing my post, got the wrong undrafted rempart to sign with the rangers in 2011, thought it was Bourque.

 

[dahrougem2]

Well that's not happening.

Of course it's not, but it should

 

[henchman21]

talked about almost picking up someone on waivers who used to play for Quebec, I didn't catch who they were talking about.

Jonathan Marchessault... kid was a beast in the Q with Roy.

It was bothering me so I did a little digging. Looks like he was talking about Ryan Bourque, son of Ray Bourque. Hits all the buttons, drafted by the Remparts in the 7th round, hes small (5'9", 180), undrafted, playing for the Rangers affiliate in Hartford. Hes got 7 goals and 8 assists in 34 games with Hartford this season.

It was about Marchessault.

 

[tigervixxxen]

When wa he on waivers?

 

[AvsFanRCN]

Jonathan Marchessault... kid was a beast in the Q with Roy.



It was about Marchessault.

Yeah, saw your post, realized my mistake. Both late round Rempart drafts that signed undrafted to the rangers in 2011, didn't see Marchessault.

My bad.
