matter2003 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Greenway-Mittelstadt-"The Butler" has been the best line by a country mile so far. That needs to change. Edited October 16, 2023 by matter2003 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Sometimes meatballs is as rigid as he who shall not be mentioned(cough RALPH cough ). Its only two games in Donnie have some fun with it. Change some lines up ! Demote someone, move someone up. You just never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I still think Okposo is almost completely without function as a player on the ice. Girgensons isn't far behind. I would've liked to see someone come up from Roch. who can actually win faceoffs. None of our guys win faceoffs and that accounts for many goals/and/or/goals against. Also, trade for a starting goalie please! Get rid of this goalie logjam. Missing Quinn bigly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a tradeoff to be had with respect to stability versus trying to find natural chemistry. If players don't play together long enough, they don't click. If you depend on natural chemistry to click, line combinations become like a lottery ticket- you might get a winning combination but more likely not. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson-Tuch-Skinner should be that line on most nights. That line can play the same, I just need better from the TST line.

I understand what you mean, but if Mitt’s line remains this effective all year it will make everything easier for everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get your top line playing better, and you do that by keeping them together and letting them work it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabresparaavida Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) The only thing that came to mind for me re: the butler is The butler serves up a goal on that dish to Mittelstadt. But overall I’m not a huge fan of the nickname. I think it captures his playmaking ability as a passer, but doesn’t represent the relentless forecheck side to his game.

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 "The Butler did it" each time he scores. I can hear RJ now. @dudacek is probably right it's going to be something boring like Benny or Bensy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
