[Mr. Canucklehead]

To answer the obvious question - no, this lineup is not confirmed. Complete guess work, and it will be updated as soon as official information is available.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Mr. C, San Jose is not in the Central.

Pffft. Playing the 5th place Pacific team.
Wake me up when we play one of the top teams.

Don't know what you're talking about.

Updated with Shark Killers.

Kevin Bieksa - 26GP, 4G, 13A, 17Pts
Nick Bonino - 11GP, 1G, 8A, 9Pts
Ryan Miller - 9GP, 7W - 1L - 0TL, 2.17GAA, .932SVP, 2SO

Wow at Miller's stats vs. the Sharks. Hope he can keep that up!

Holy, those stats are FIRE.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

I doubt it'll happen but I'd love to see these lines

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Higgins-Bonino-Vey
Burrows-Horvat-Kassian
Hansen-Richardson-Dorsett

 

[Nuckles]

Apparently I was a bad luck charm last game. Literally 1 minute after I stopped watching the game (family emergency) Henrik scored, and then the 3rd period happened. Just watched the highlights a few minutes ago. Bah humbug.

I won't watch this game if you guys pay me $100.

 

[M2Beezy]

Why we have sutch a hard time the last couple years a gainst these guys? There not that good but then a gain there regular season stars so wont be suprised if we lose the season series. I think will lose 4-2 goals by Bones and Kassian

Might be the best projected lineup I've seen so far!

 

[hockey dude]

So Matthias' play of late gets rewarded with a benching?

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

So Matthias' play of late gets rewarded with a benching?

I don't think anyone has played bad enough to "deserve" a benching.

On that fourth line you can have any two of Hansen/Dorsett/Matthias on the wings and it would work.

Horvat played more than Dorsett last night, but Dorsett scored, it's a great problem to have.

This isn't Atom All Stars, life's tough.

What do we do with the goalies over the next 3...

This is what i would do... We need a change up and get Lack out of that 2nd half of the back to back...

We need to run Miller here...

Thu - @ SJ - Miller
Sat - @ LA - Miller
Sun - @ Ana - Miller
Tue - vs Ott - Lack
Fri - vs Az - Miller

I don't think we are doing Lack or ourselves any favors by playing him in California... Let our #1 run the gauntlet and then get 4 days off.

Our team is letting down in those second games... and could be as simple as the players mentally letting down because they subconsciously feel the coaches are letting down by playing Lack. Try the change up.. piggy back on the emotions of playing a rival in Ana+Miller in net... and it sets them up nicely mentally.
Theoretically.

Like many, I don't know who sits for Burrows return. My guess is that Horvat is in for San Jose and out for LA/Anaheim games. Vey can came up from the 5 on 5 side of things but you want him for the powerplay. Matthais has really been coming along, hes been using his size protecting the puck and creating chances. Richardson is too important for the PK and faceoffs to take out. Hansen has been bringing the energy and forechecking required in the lineup.

I think I sit Matthais in San Jose and Horvat in LA and Anaheim. After that I do not know.

(in San Jose)
D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Vrbata
Higgins - Bonino - Vey
Burrows - Richardon - Kassian
Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen

(in SoCal)
D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Vrbata
Higgins - Bonino - Burrows
Matthais - Richardon - Kassian
Dorsett - Vey - Hansen

Give Lack the first of the back to back.

 

[Huggy]

Id give horvat saturday, so if matthias isnt a complete difference maker on thursday he can sit on saturday, then another day of rest for horvat on sunday then he slides in for tuesday against ottawa.

Horvat is with us till wrld jnr, and until matthias goes off the cliff horvat wont get 2 games straight

Won't pay $100, but would be willing to create another family emergency.

I'd consider working Hansen into the press box rotation if he forgets the ways of the honey badger again.

It's not just Matthias that could get scratched in favour of Horvat. Vey, Hansen, and Dorsett could all get scratched depending on how they are playing going forward.

Even though they both scored last night, I think it comes down to Matthias or Dorsett if Willie wants to dress Horvat in San Jose.

[y2kcanucks]

First game of our big test. The team has definitely surprised me thus far. Let's see if they're for real.

Should Richardson be a healthy scratch?

Also I would start lack in la and miller in Anaheim.

0-3 in back to backs.. Change it up
