[Ventana*]

Let's hope Kassian is in for this one and Bieksa's ass is on the bench.

 

[arsmaster*]

Can we get a pgt for the Kings gsme?

 

[Flik]

I expect to see a much better effort for this one.

Always fun to play the Wings.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Hmmm in order to comply with the OP I need to think of a positive way to spin this. Well, at least Horvat will get more game experience on Saturday.

 

[Pip]

Obvious move to get Kassian in here. Lots of guys who should probably take a seat, but I'd go with Vey.

Sedins-Vrby
Higgins-Bonino-Kassian (I know it won't actually happen)
Matthias-Richardson-Hansen
Burrows-Horvat-Dorsett

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Hopefully we match up better against Detroit than LA yowsa

 

[thepuckmonster]

You can discuss the last game here.

 

[crazychimp]

If they compete they have a chance if they play like they did against the Ducks and Kings sitting on a lead won't get them anywhere. Play hard like the way they've pretty much done all season and the wins will come.

 

[Flik]

Burrows was a bright spot against LA and has been playing really well lately. I wouldn't mind seeing him back with the Sedins and Vrbata has been pretty hot too, stick him Bonino and Vey (if he doesn't draw out).

gonna be tough to do that with that big red warning you have in the op

Burrows and Horvat should probably move up the lineup. Richardson too.

How about something like this?

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

Agreed, but somehow Burrows only ended up with 13:17 toi

Nice, that'd be cool if we tried it.

 

[Pip]

Complying with the no negative rule...

Edler/Tanev were good
Thought Vrbata looked decent
Liked Hansen and Burrows
Miller was good for most of the game

 

[canuck4life16]

let just beat Detriot........we do play well against them. Skill vs skills game

 

[Ziostilon]

Figured out why J. Will got all that time and space to get his shot off

Tanev and Edler had to switch sides after Edler went out to block a shot on the right side of the ice

 

[Flik]

I think you guys are mis-reading the intention of that warning... there are some posters that seem to *only* post negative things, in a non constructive criticism manner.

Mods are probably trying to weed that stuff out, it has gotten bad lately...

I would say that's fair, alot of players do deserve to sit but vey certainly is a strong candidate.

They could also consider moving burrows up in the lineup, although he has played good with horvat.

This is exactly what the warning is intended for.

yep......but it pretty simple to get rid of the bad stuff......don't reply and use the ignore feature......let hope we win and it be ok

Maybe swap Higgins with Burrows there since it's more important to get Bonino going than to help out BoHo

You can be critical all you want. What we want to avoid is stuff like "BIEKSA SUCKS. PUT HIM ON WAIVERS" or "THIS TEAM IS HOPELESS!" If you cannot express an opinion in a constructive manner, then don't bother posting as it adds nothing to the discussion. Basically, point to what Bieksa's been doing wrong, not just that he sucks.

Right now I wouldn't touch the Burrows/Horvat/(whoever) combination. I like Burr on the PP too, kinda puts more emphasis on putting the puck to the net.
