Skibum Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Doesn't seem so crazy, really. I think anyone can step into the wild card spot with Roy and Vanek and do well - they could use a grinder to do the dirty work for them, although I would prefer McCormick to Niedermeyer in this role. Hecht and Pominville have been showing signs of life lately and Stafford was looking much improved before the injury. Ennis-Connolly-Kaleta could be a good combo. Lots of skill and a bruiser to open up some space - and who knows, maybe Kaleta can cash in on some opportunities with two playmakers on his line. Remember that he was showing finishing touch last season. Whatever, it's nice to have some experienced players back. Might as well mix things up. Hopefully it works out.

You think we can just pop any old nobody onto the wing on our top line and they will be fine? Yikes. I thought the Hecht at center experiment was done 2 years ago. He is not an NHL center, particularly on the second line. Although he is better on faceoffs than connolly. Ennis connolly Kaleta is as horrible a line as I could ever dream of - two set up men and no one to finish. Ennis and connolly can skate around passing the puck to each other while Kaleta runs into the boards. Great. Apologies to Chz - I now see you previously posted it in the Gerbe thread. I looked on the front page to see if anyone had posted, but didn't think to look in Gerbe's thread for the lineup, although it certainly does impact him. Guess they will need a booster seat in the press box tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Could be an indication of how well prepared the returning players are. Connolly may not be all good yet and is put on a line that might not get a lot of ice time to start with. By the end of the game with LR runnin' three lines. Gerbe-Roy-Vanek Nieds-Goose-Grier Ennis-Hecht-Pommers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Honestly, who the hell cares. I just want them to score more than 2 goals a game. If these lines do that, I'm happy with them. If not, change 'em up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbe-Roy-Vanek Nieds-Goose-Grier Ennis-Hecht-Pommers So who starts the night in the press box, then? I don't hate gerbe on the top line, but i do hate Hecht at center.

Weave Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I assume Lindy is trying to throw some grit on each line. Neids on the 1st line is a joke. Slow and no hands. He'll be trailing the play all night on that line. And Kaleta-Connolly-Ennis is equally strange unless Connolly is only dressed to get PP time and the 4th line isn't getting much ice time in that configuration.

Forget that fact that our power play has actually improved in Connolly's absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit Gerbe and move Stafford to left wing like they did the last game he played in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
