Rofl if you zoom in on Connor and Leon, they looked PISSED being there

How many more teeth will McLeod lose this season? Lol

[KlefDown]

love the team building exercises they managed to fit in on the day off

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Oh my heart, McDavid with Holloway and Hyman. Can't wait to see it.

looks like we are facing their starting lineup. Not too many bubble guys being dressed tonight for the Nucks

 

[OILFAN FOREVER]

Great chance again for Holloway to keep building confidence. Would be an absolute treat if he can play consistently and produce this season in the top 6. With McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane and Hyman locks for the top 6 (saying they are 4 of our top 6 forwards, I understand someone like Hyman can be moved up and down the lineup to even a 3rd line to balance it out), Holloway has a chance to become another solid piece there.

Kane-McDavid-Yamamoto
Holloway-Draisaitl-Hyman
McLeod-RNH-Foegele/Puljujarvi

I'd start the season with those lines as the top 3.

Janmark-Shore/Ryan-Foegele/Puljujarvi as the 4th.

The Nucks have a starting lineup that speaks bubble to me.

Do they enough players to make up a quasi first line?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Basically their starting roster, who's Joshua?

Weird to see at 2LW given the line up Dakota Joshua Contract, Cap Hit, Salary and Stats - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Should be a much better test tonight for sure.

So basically a coke machine to run around. Geez these teams and their heroism.

Colorado and TBL in the finals last year and we still have this mentality rampant in the league. One day they'll learn.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Oh my heart, McDavid with Holloway and Hyman. Can't wait to see it.

I wish they tried McLeod in shores spot.

See how McLeod RNH and puljujarvi work

Colorado and TBL in the finals last year and we still have this mentality rampant in the league. One day they'll learn.

I mean if he runs around and hurts McDavid, he should be suspended and the League should punish the team. Not starting the year with a healthy McDavid hurts the league's revenues, honestly, and Dakota Joshua doesn't even know there's needle, let alone move it.

I wish they tried McLeod in shores spot.

See how McLeod RNH and puljujarvi work

I was thinking swapping Hamblin and Shore, give Hamblin a Real look tonight.

If Luke Schenn is in your top pairing, you got issues.

That entire defense is a mess minus Q Hughes. Also one of the most expensive in the league.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Holloway final test - top line ice time with the other super elite. He's safely on the team at worst as a cautious onboard at 3W or if he pushes against elite competition as top 6 winger. By New Year could be slotting into top six.

Hyman getting more time at RW. I thought he would be a staple on his off-wing but clearly Holloway is a disrupter who they want to see in top six competition. Versatility is such a great strength for this team. Nuge looks locked in at 3C with Puljujarvi and Foegele getting auditions. Excited by prospect of Nuge and McLeod anchoring a strong two-way third line. Yeoman Shore gets an upgrade. That fourth line could be playing out the string tonight.

Like that Broberg and Niemalainen draw in for tough competition with solid veteran guys on their pairing.

F-ing game is in Abbotsford or I would take it in.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

If Luke Schenn is in your top pairing, you got issues.

Haha. I love Sasky Luke Schenn. He's just a placeholder. The Krack Canuckles pre-season game I went to they were deploying Hughes and OEL.

 

[CupofOil]

What's the point of this lineup? It's the second to last preseason game and they have Shore on the 2nd line and an AHL 4th line. Not a big deal I guess but I figured that they would go largely with their opening night lineup in the last two preseason games.

Janmark-Shore/Ryan-Foegele/Puljujarvi as the 4th.

If you go 7D (Broberg and Murray) then Shore Or Ryan put you over cap. Benson- Ryan works or Janmark-Malone

I like Luke as well. I was commenting more so on his first pairing stature on that lineup card. He’s a serviceable 6-7 guy at this point in his career, not a 1-2. I love how he reignited his career after his time in Arizona. I honestly thought he was done after his time there.
