alfredoh2009 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Let's keep the winning streak going Tkachuk - Norris - Paul Stutzle - Tierney - Batherson Dzingel - Bishop - Brown Formenton - Anisimov - Dadonov Chabot - Zaitsev Reilly - Zub Coburn - Gudbranson Gustavsson / (Forsberg) Tatar - Danault - Gallagher Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Toffoli Perry - Suzuki - Anderson Byron - Evans - Lehkonen Kulak - Petry Edmundson - Weber Mete - Romanov Price / (Allen) I'll check line-ups closer to game time, order of lines are my best guess based on how well KK has played recently and having his line start games Starting line-pair in bold Edited April 3, 2021 by alfredoh2009 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Top Habs, Toffoli & Petry are tied for 60th in NHL scoring. Can the Habs win a cup with depth, or will they need to get (or develop) an elite forward before that ever happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recent Stanley Cup Champions (TBL, Caps, Hawks, Pens) have at least one elite forward; but there are exceptions - Blues won in 18-19 with O'Reilly 49th in regular season PPG ... and Billington at .914 Sv% in the playoffs - Kings won in 11-12 with Kopitar 30th in PPG ... and Quick with .946 Sv% - Bruins won in 10-11 with Krejci 50th in PPG ... and Tim Thomas with a .940 Sv% Toffoli is 39th in PPG ... so there would seem to be a chance ... especially if Price can be what we hope Price can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs are not contenders yet! Just a streaky team just coming into its own. Once the roster is set after the trade deadline, we will have a better idea; but I don't want to jinx them by talking about the cup too prematurely. Habs are missing an elite LD and the'll need healthy Toffoli, Gallagher and Petry to get through the first two rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that Suzuki, or KK can be those type of players, but they aren’t there yet. Danault definitely isn’t in the same class, but at least he has been a LOT better lately. Our strength is the depth on wing and I think that depth can overcome the lack of top PPG players. Issue is the D. Petry has been very good, but is not Doughty or Peitrangelo good and Weber is clearly showing age and decline - not quite the Seabrook cliff drop (who IMO was a good top pairing D, but Keith made him look better than he was), but he is no longer the best Dman on the team. I really hope we pick up a top LD, but it’s going to cost more than a Byron, Armia or Lekhonan. Unfortunately, I don’t think that Ekholm is still available now.

I heard Evans had a great game Thursday night. If he keeps playing well, do you really sit him? Or do you sit someone like Byron and have both Evans and Staal play by having 2 C's on the 4th line?

Perry bumps one of Byron/Lehkonen and you keep Evans as fourth line C. The Suzuki line would be the one with 2 Cs. and because Staal is LH and Suzuki RH, they can flip on faceoffs to literally always take draws on their strong side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I hope to see the boys in attack mode again tonight; aggressive forecheck, score more than 3 goals. It's about time we use the Sens the way some of our rivals have this season: as a stats-padding springboard to a winning streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
