Love the Griffith callup, hate the Cunningham move. There are at least 2 guys who deserve to be sent down over Cunningham, maybe 3.

Was at the game....Cunningham has limited offensive skills but played hard, gave a lot more effort than a bunch of others. But when you score thre e goals in three games and the trend line is 2-1-0 you need to try and find a hot hand,

Only a matter of time before Fraser gets sent down.....then we can read the inevitable " down goes Fraser" comments from the boxing cogneseti

One of the few forwards w life sent down.... Gagne will be signed, Fraser will stay up, Robins will be scratched.

Robins didn't do himself any favours by kneeing a guy and it resulting in a PPG against, that's for sure, lol.

Agreed. And I hope they're not planning to just stick Griffith in Cunningham's spot. We need a right wing that can put the puck in the net

If Krejci is back I'd do,

17 - 46 - 53/18
63 - 37 - 53/18
51/23 - 34 - 21
20 - 51/23 - 64

Edit: lines at skate;

17 - 46 - 53
63 - 37 - 18
23 - 34 - 21
20 - 51 - 38
64

Don't like the 4th line but I'll give them a shot. Decent depth on top 9, still weak on the right side until Smith starts playing better, Eriksson plays like the player he really is, and Griffith proves himself.

And they have Caron practicing on a line of Paille/Spooner over Robbins... Obviously because Spooner wont play his physical game.

 

[Hali33]

I like having Griffith up. Too bad about Cunningham though, I thought he was good out there.

 

[Beesfan]

Like others, I thought Cunningham was one of the only players skating consistently. I could name 3-4 forwards that are hurting the team more than him.

Like the Griffith call up. We need offense, and he provides it.

 

[qc]

Oo la la, a right shot.

I'd give him a look with Loosick and Kraychee.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Skating on a line with Krejci this morning and Caron is apparently playing with spooner and Paille...

 

[LouJersey]

Robins didn't do himself any favours by kneeing a guy and it resulting in a PPG against, that's for sure, lol.

Yeah I'll be shocked if we ever see him again.

 

[Beyonder91]

Agreed. And I hope they're not planning to just stick Griffith in Cunningham's spot. We need a right wing that can put the puck in the net

If Krejci is back I'd do,

17 - 46 - 53/18
63 - 37 - 53/18
51/23 - 34 - 21
20 - 51/23 - 64

Yeah, those are the lines that I see as well.

Just please no Caron...

 

[Gee Wally]

Hooray.

Cue the duck boats.

 

[Dellstrom]

Love that Griffith is called up. Played so well in preseason, deserves a shot.

 

[BergyWho37]

Thank you PC this is at least a start to see what happens

 

[The Special K]

pretty meh about this. Hopefully he will thrive.

 

[since76]

Fraser as loui will get millions of try, because our gm is already know ho fool he is with THE TRADE

 

[since76]

Thank you PC this is at least a start to see what happens

You mean that he see how miserable gm he is since 2 years ???

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Here is what I imagine is happening:

Chia just before the start of the season -

"Yeah (insert interested gm's across the league here) I am interested in (insert available top 6 RW here) we have some great young guns ready to jump right into the NHL...I'll showcase them at the start of the season & you'll get to see how they produce...you will see, they can really put up the numbers."

Chia right now -

"Mother ****er ****ing **** score a ****ing goal stupid **** send him down, gimmie the other guy he better score a ****ing goal jesus at least get a ****ing point. ****! Clode!!!!!!"

 

[roguepatriot]

Like others, glad Seth is getting a chance early. Hopefully will play tomorrow. Not so happy Craig is being send down. Thought had played 4th line role well. Should be back up. Think more of a shuffle than this is needed

Who are your three

problem is though, you are looking at the 4th line......

 

[herewegobruins]

Koko and Knight should get looks too

 

[KnightofBoston]

Koko and Knight should get looks too

At some point yes, trouble is that really only serves to make them more viable injury replacements down the stretch and into the playoffs, it doesn't solve any of our issues.
