Screw Bouillion, make his ***** ass play on his off side, hes supposed to be the vet. Also scratch DD and let Chucky play centre where he's been great when given the chance

Patches - Pleks - Gio
Chuck - Lars - Gally
Bourque - Halpern - Ryder
Prust - DD - Army

Patches needs to get his cycle game going and crash the net
and I think that Pleks is the C to get him to start doing that more.

Kid line will cause havoc for sure!

3rd and 4th line are a lot more balanced out with Halpern moving up to make up for Ryder's defensive liability and DD moving down. Plus DD and Army seem to have good locker room chemistry which will make being demoted to the 4th line less painful for the guy.

Gorges - Subban
Markov - Diaz
Bouillon - Tinordi

on the PP I would go
Ryder - Pleks - Gally
Patches - Lars - Gio
(Sorry Chuckie! Maybe next year!)

Markov - Subban
Subban/Bouillon - Diaz

meaning I would put Subban out on the PP for 1:20 - 1:35.

On the PK

Pleks - Gio
Halpern - Prust
Lars - Army

Why has Bourque been playing on the PK lately?

Gorges - Subban
Tinordi - Diaz

I think Tinordi offers some defensive stability that Weber just can't bring and Drewiske could have brought had he played more this year. Taking Markov off the PK will help him keep fresh.

Play with 3 lines; scratch the 12th forward; use 7 defensemen; use Prust as a joker and Halpern in face-off situations.

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Bourque
Ryder-Plekanec-Gallagher
Galchenyuk-Eller-Gionta
Prust (joker role) - Halpern (face-off situation)

Markov-Subban
Gorges-Diaz
Bouillon-Weber
Tinordi
Actually.... I like this idea. That keeps Prust playing with Top-3 line players when we need him, keeps Prust and Halpern as a PK unit and improves our PP and PK at the same time.

Use Boo-boo for ES, where he`s not bad. Tinordi for PK, Weber for PP and then split up their shifts at ES until one pulls far ahead of the other.


Why not scratch DD? Send a message that even your boy toy can be benched for bad play.

Ryder-Plekanec-Gionta
Pacioretty-Eller-Gallagher
Bourque-Galchenyuk-Prust
Armstrong-Halpern-Moen
Yes, Desharnais is the only reason we lost. He`s been poor, but so have a lot of guys.

We should just call all those rookies up early and scratch half the team. Send a real message. :laugh:

I have similar forward lines but damn poor Tinordi. :laugh:
I think Weber has looked solid the past four games. Of course, he`s never going to be a great defenseman.. but I think he can find a niche as a bottom pairing PP guy, as long as his partner is more responsible than him defensively.

Why play three lines and get our main guys more tired and increase the chances of injury when we've already clinched?

Today's practice lines:

Chantal Machabee ‏@ChantalMachabee 41m
Trios du CH:
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Gallagher;
Ryder-Plekanec-Gionta;
Galchenyuk-Eller-Bourque;
Prust-Halpern-Armstrong-Dumont.

Hopefully this means that Dumont has jumped ahead of Moen on the depth chart.

Probably wont happen because MT has a constant hard on for keeping Gio with Plex / Max with DD :help:

But it's obvious changes are needed because we aren't generated **** all. No energy, no nothing.

So what would be your ideal lineup going into next game?

I'd go:

Pacioretty Plex Gallagher
Galchenyuk Eller Ryder
Prust Desharnais Gionta
Borque Halpern Armstrong/Moen

Subban Gorges
Diaz Tinordi
Markov Boullion

Price

I wonder how we would do with a first line dedicated to offense, a top line dedicated to defence and counterattack, a secondary offensive line, and a fourth line that will hustle for 10-11 minutes and maybe get points against weaker opposition.

Offence 1: Pacioretty-Plekanec-Ryder
Defence 1: Eller-Halpern-Gionta
Offence 2: Prust-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Hustle line: Bourque-Desharnais-Armstrong

Make it happen, Bergy :yo:

Make it Chelios-Tinordi because somebody said this morning that Tinordi should replace Markov in our current lineup, so why not in the fantasy one too?

I like the forward lines from last game. **EDIT Moen in/Armstrong out.

With Tinordi up, I'd love to see the scratches than axman proposed: Markov out until playoffs, Bouillon and Gorges each out a game. However, forget about Kaberle and insert Tinordi and Drewiske into the lineup.
