Line Combos: Predicting Forward Lines for 2013-2014

[WhiteLight*]

Your right MAK and after a couple shifts things will go back to normal and everyone can relax

If things go back to normal the Sens will lose as usual


edit-ok not ''will'', but likely would

Normal with lines I mean, they be fine the October schedule is over it's November now That's my story and I'm sticking to it

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I'd also like to try:

MacArthur-Spezza-Zibanejad
Conacher-Turris-Ryan

I think those lines could really have something going for em

I think Maclean will be very hesitant to take Mac away from Turris, the two play so well together. Another loss or two and he'll probably be willing to try it though

I agree MacArthur May just be the possession player that settles down that first line. Turris has played well with both Conacher and Ryan this year.

It would be much better to just find a two-way possesson type winger to play with Spezza than to break up MacTurris. Having two lines dominating possession would be great.

Conacher - Spezza - Condra (when Condra is playing like his regular self) would be awesome.

Conacher - Spezza - Condra
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Michalek - Smith - Zibanejad
Greening - Grant - Neil

Not much different from practice, but the huge difference in defensive awareness and possession ability between Condra and Neil on the top line would make a world of difference IMO.

 

[aragorn]

MacArthur - Spezza - Michalek
Z. Smith - Turris - Ryan
Greening - Zibanejad - Stone
Robinson - Grant - Neil/Kassian

 

[YNWA14]

Conacher - Spezza - Zibanejad
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Smith - Michalek
Greening - Grant - Neil

Cowen - Karlsson
Methot - Gryba/Corvo
Borowiecki/Wiercioch - Phillips

Would like to add someone to the blueline for some help like Ehrhoff, Campbell or another from my list but until then this is our optimal line-up IMO.

 

[PierresGabriels]

MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Greening - Spezza - Zibanejad
Michalek - Smith- Neil
Hoffman - Grant - Conacher

Line 1 --- Go to Option. The have been very solid and display solid chemistry.
Line 2 --- Solid second line. Zibby is buzzing and can play at Spezzas level. When Greening and Spezz get going, their past chemistry may help.
Line 3 --- Smith is clicking ATM. All 3 are big strong boys who can be solid in the D Zone, crash, and play hard on the boards. This also makes Milo the main offensive option on this line and hopefully he shoots more as a result.
Line 4 - Just call up Hoff with Condra out haha

Then make Karlsson, Cowen, Methot, Phillips, our 4 mainstays on D.
Then have Gryba/Boro fight for the spot when grit/stay-at-home tendencies are needed, and have Wiercioch/Corvo fight for the offensive option.
I also believe keeping Cowen with Karlsson stops him from forcing the play with the puck too much. In this case his role is steadier and Karlsson can do his thing.

I was pleased with Borocop today (obvz not the "goal"). I really felt his work ethic and desire to always make an impact did wonders for our team's drive.

 

[saskriders]

We should have a nickname for the Turris line. Been a long time since we have had a line so consistant

 

[Xspyrit]

MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Zibanejad-Spezza-Michalek
Conacher-Smith-Pageau/Condra
Greening-Grant-Neil

Cowen-Karlsson
Methot-Wiercioch/Corvo
Phillips-Borowiecki
Gryba

Best line-up I can come up with IMO, we're still not playing up to potential, got to develop more chemistry

 

[delchief]

Mac - Turris - Ryan
Michalek - Spezza - Zibby
Greening - Smith - Condra
Conacher - Grant - Neil
(Kassian)

Cowen - Karlsson
Methot - Wiercioch
Borocop - Phillips
(Gryba, Corvo)

Andy/Lehner

 

[Tampacuseforever]

MacArthur Turris Ryan
Greening Spezza Michalek
Smith Zibanejad Conacher

Grant/Condra/Neil/Kassian/Hoffman

For the record I don't like Greening there but there are no better options, I said over and over Zibby and Conacher should be playing on the third line not rotating between the first and forth, their confidence can't be good right now !!!

 

[Benjamin]

MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Greening-Spezza-Conacher
Michalek-Smith-Zibanejad
Condra-Grant-Neil

Cowen-Karlsson
Methot-Wiercioch
Boro-Corvo

 

[Karl Cowensson]

I like the lines as they are for the most part, but Spezza and Michalek should probably be playing together. Rotate Conacher, greening or Zbad through and see what works.

 

[Tampacuseforever]

MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Greening-Spezza-Conacher
Michalek-Smith-Zibanejad
Condra-Grant-Neil

Cowen-Karlsson
Methot-Wiercioch
Boro-Corvo

Let's just switch Michalek and Conacher

 

[Benjamin]

Let's just switch Michalek and Conacher

Nope. Smith + Michalek is awesome.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Nope. Smith + Michalek is awesome.

Spezza + Michalek is awesomer.

 

[Tampacuseforever]

Nope. Smith + Michalek is awesome.

Yes very good but I think you have to look at the whole picture, he's a skilled guy who has proven to click with Spezza, and that Spezza line is a BIG problem right now.

 

[Qward]

Michalek/Spezza/Zibanejad
MacArthur/Turris/Ryan
Conacher/Smith/Neil
Greening/Grant/Condra

is what I want to see.


edit: However, Greening/Spezza/Michalek was aces couple seasons back.

How about the #1 line as a nick name?

MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Greening - Spezza - Michalek
Z. Smith - Zibanejad - Stone
Robinson - Grant - Neil/Kassian

 

[Sun God Nika]

not a forward line but.

What would you guys think of a Boro - Karlsson Pairing?
