Dalhabs Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Is that the new hot streak line for us? Seems they are getting alot of points lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What i like the most is that Higgins brings out the best in the players he plays with, he is officcially back at business. And to prove it, he reminded Johnson that he has some offfensive abilities, thing that he seemed to have forgot like drive the net, get rebounds. Plekanek is doing better on this line with hard working players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The whole line looked good last night. Johnson not only scored but he was a buzz in the offensive zone all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 There certainly is tremendous chemistry there... it will be interesting to see what happens when Bonk is ready to come back! Go Habs Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortHanded Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 There certainly is tremendous chemistry there... it will be interesting to see what happens when Bonk is ready to come back! Go Habs Go! I liked what I saw for sure. To me, the fact that Higgins clicked with these two is the perfect reason to try Bonk on the 2nd between Kovy and Sammy. It could be what they need, and now there's no excuse of that the third line won't work without Bonk. Or, if Carbo REALLY doesn't want to (but I wish he would) you put Bonk back on the third line, and try Higgins on the second, but something tells me it won't work out.

I would like to see Higgins on the 2nd as well but move Kovalev to the 1st. He plays well with Koivu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSharpMarble Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Plekanec is now away from that second line and all their problems he will really show what he is capable of. Him and Higgins have good chemistry and Johnson is a work horse. A well balanced line. Bonk should go on the second line to even out their defensive failings but you probably wont get to see kovalev and samsonov split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I would like to see Higgins on the 2nd as well but move Kovalev to the 1st. He plays well with Koivu. Bad idea. Having all your power on one line makes it easy to defend against. Especially with teams that have a good shut down line. Spread the strength out and wear down the "D" with 3 powerful lines.

habs_25th Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 That's one awesome third line. Probably the best in the league. How about Kovalev, Koivu and Ryder on the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesquik Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 No, I don't think that would be good, look at Koivu's goals, most of his goals require a pass, Kovalev doesn't pass, Samsonov doesn't pass, so Kovalev and Samsonov AND Bonk... I don't htink Bonk will be coming back on the third line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't htink Bonk will be coming back on the third line. we don't have all our offence on one line with this. The plekanec higgins line can score. And besides, we such 5 on 5. We should give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalHab Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I'd like to see the following: Gui-- Koivu--Kovy Higgins--Plex--Ryder Perez--Bonk--Johnson Sammy--Lapierre--Streit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
