I'd pay Emelin to hipcheck Cole and injure him so we don't have to think about that.
The veterans take longer to get going while the younger players are not going to be consistent all year. For everyone ready annoint Bourque a brand new player they happen to forget that he has been inconsistent his entire career.
If Cole and Gionta are still slow to perform come April they are as good as gone. I just don't see that happening. The lineup will change again and you're more likely to see Cole and Gionta be the scorers while two other players cool right now and become the new scapegoats.
We're only at the one third mark.
Your sense of humus is bizarre.
Sort of like thisI'd pay Emelin to hipcheck Cole and injure him so we don't have to think about that.

Armstrong is the weakest we have. He should sit as White plays better and can be used at wing or center.Three youngsters on the same line? I don't think it's gonna happen.
Prust will play with AGally. Either Eller or BGally will be on the 4th line.
I like:
Eller AGally Prust
Moen White BGally
What will probably happen:
BGally AGally Prust
Moen Eller Armstrong

Gallagher on the 4th? No thanks jeff. The guy is have been no doubt one of our best top 4 offensive player this season.
I would put Cole, Gionta, Eller, Desharnais or Prust before putting him on the 4th line.
But I think you got it right, Eller is gonna go down on the 4th line, unfortunately.
How did you know that I love hummus?
Prust has been a huge boost to this team and can slot in on any line. He has brought more to this team for the money than most of our signings and people *****ed about that FA signing. we need to dump the smurfs for more big solig players like Prust. My nickname for Cole this season is FLOATCOLEV. He is reminding me of Kovy with less sill.
Ah, memories of Kovaloaf and Slowvalev. But I don't think Cole's been that bad. He just hasn't been that good. He seems to be a player that needs good chemistry to succeed. If it's not there, then he just doesn't have it to be the go-to guy that makes others around him better.
So, actually, he is kind of similar to Kovalev. I never really saw him as a lazy player. He was frustrating as anything when he was playing poorly, but usually it wasn't for a lack of effort. It was more often due to futile effort, as in trying really hard to complete a play that had no chance of success or very little promise of team advantage even if he managed to succeed.
Anyway, interesting comparison.
Pacioretty – Desharnais -??
Bourque - Plekanec – Gionta
Gally – Eller – Galchenyuk
Cole -?? - Prust
Would leave a hole for a wing for Pac and DD.. guess you would put Moen ? or Cole.
For Gally's first game back, I would do this:
Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Cole
Eller-Galchenyuk-Prust
Moen-White-Gallagher
This would easy Gally back in and make sure he's good to go. If he looks great, I would consider switching him and Cole.
Did you watch the game last night?
Did you see who passed that puck perfectly to the stick of Galchenyuk?
It wasnt Eller. It was Prust.
Why do you want to demote Prust when Prust has been playing very well with Galchenyuk. They have obvious chemistry together.
Well, let's be honest, it wasn't the toughest pass to make. But I like Prust playing with Chucky
