First! WOOOOO!

@Kellyr I too would like to see Bogdan. settled in and see a game where he's not looking like the new guy. It does look like he's a good acquisition otherwise. Doesn't look like he's gonna get burned often

 

[pb1300]

So we are icing two 4th lines tonight it seems. Hopefully they are judged fairly, with some of the vets here on one way deals.

 

[BabyBennettov]

I want Kiselevich to be a killer ! He will be !

Man, you gotta root for the 28-year-old defensive russian defenseman starting his NHL career... It looks and sounds awesome for sure !

Well it seems that's all that's up in the air up front.

How cool is that 3rd line, and Borgstrom AND Malgin both are in on it. They were the two young guns of all of them I wanted on opening night but just kinda assumed it would be a continuation of last years third with Brouwer and Malgin and Borg as rotation wingers.

Lots of teams out the with a solid full lineup.

I still wonder what's gonna come between the F's and G's.

Don't know pb...

It seems from the practice group that the lines will be:

Huberdeau - Trocheck - Hoffman
Borgstrom - McCann - Brouwer
Vatrano - Malgin - Hunt
Haley - Lammikko - Mamin

So I would say two third-lines fighting for spots, and a couple of youngsters on the fourth battling for a surprise too... Haley is basically our 13th or 14th forward now, it's pretty clear.

Hope Brouwer can bring something on that third. I'm hoping he can make it and bring his style to the team, but he has been pretty terrible in Calgary, not holding my breath on that one...

Malgin needs to have a great game, showing he deserves to stay by his versatility, creativity and speed... Vatrano also needs a big game to keep the Mamins and the Lammikkos away from his spot.

We basically have the 9th forward spot up to grab with Borgstrom and McCann "cementing" their role as third-liners. Malgin had the inside track, Vatrano and Brouwer look like they could get a chance too...

That basically leaves only one open spot (or two if you count Malgin out because he loses his spot and go to Springfield without passing through waivers) for the likes of Mamin, Lammikko, Greco, Hunt, etc... Because we all know McKenzie and Haley will be atleast our 13th and 14th forwards !

I would dig a lineup looking like that:

Dadonov - Barkov - Bjugstad
Huberdeau - Trocheck - Hoffman
Borgstrom - McCann - Brouwer
Vatrano - Malgin - Mamin
(Extras: McKenzie, Haley)

Looks pretty deep !

You can see the upside with him.

I think it's the same problem with him and to less extent Hoffman, they're still learning the system and have to think too much what to do and where to be on the ice. Remember how long it took last year for the guys to get going under Boughner's system? It's the same thing going on with these two new guys at the moment.

 

[CHGoalie27]

@BabyBarkov so they ARE at least trying the Borg-mcC-brouwer line in favor of last years idea... Which looks the best out there?

 

[Gentle Man]

It's certainly early, but I havent liked how Huberdeau Trocheck and Hoffman has looked.

I think it's a case of not enough puck from what I've seen.

I've mentioned it before, but I wouldnt be against having a 2nd and 3rd lines of (factoring Borgy as a winger here):

Borgstrom Trocheck Malgin/Vatrano
Huberdeau McCann Hoffman

Trocheck thrives on being the feature guy, I say let him do it.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Sceviour?

Totally forgot Colton... Well I guess it is between Mamin and Malgin then because it seems Brouwer is making this team unless he is really really terrible coming in... It's too bad, Maxim and Denis have been going strong lately !

With that in mind, I would have it like that myself:

Dadonov - Barkov - Hoffman
Borgstrom - Trocheck - Malgin
Huberdeau - McCann - Bjugstad

Dadonov and Barkov are money... I liked the chemistry between Tro and Denis last year, very very much... And I think historically, Bjugstad has fared so well with Huby and vice-versa...

Would love to see those three lines since the beginning, and it will probably be my lineup on NHL19... Or maybe I'll trade for Panarin, don't know yet mouhahaha

Last year's idea ? What do you mean bud ?

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Awesome that this is a broadcasted game

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

My eyes are bleeding and I need my bi-noc-cu-lars on a 50" TV...
Way too many ads on the ice.

 

[floridada]

Is this the first time a preseason game has been on TV?

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I'm not sure what the rules are in terms of coming to a teams' forum that you're not a fan of, but I'm watching your game tonight and I dread for the future of the NHL on TV if we get to that many ads on the ice. It really is hard to see and follow the puck.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

First shift I see Haley with the puck in the d zone and he ofc turns it over.

boo that man

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Nice.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Lammikko making a strong case to stay

 

[floridada]

Hell yeah Lammikko

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Laaaaammmmmikkkkko!!!

 

[StrangeVision]

I saw the reminder on my TV for this game at 7PM...20 minutes later I'd forgotten.

That cant be a good sign.

Yeah, it's not surprising how hard it is to watch.

lol Brouwer
