huzer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Looks like he'll be on the 3rd line tonight with Plekanec and White. Here are the probable lines...for whoever wants to do the GDT, hint, hint. Pacioretty-Desharnais-Cole Bourque-Eller-Palushaj Geoffrion-Plekanec-White Staubitz-Gomez-Nokelainen Man, does Cunneyworth put everyone's name in a hat to come up with lines? Other than 67-51-72, do they ever stay the same or have some semblance of cohesiveness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 To be fair, line juggling right now ain't such a bad idea. He's also juggled his lines far, far less than Martin. Criticize him for many things, but constant line juggling isn't one of his faults. He probably juggles less than most NHL coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly want them to split up the top line and try something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I honestly want them to split up the top line and try something new. I do too, no point keeping it together. Let Eller and Pleks have a shot with some real wingers. Nothing to lose now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primarily, I'm the same as a few others, I wish 67-51-72 wasn't etched in stone and that maybe a different center could be tried in that role.

Plex was stuck with Darche and Bourque for a long time (before Darche got hurt). Not good enough wingers for him, but not juggled a lot either.

Habsy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You know how info circulates, I heard Plex has played with 18 combos. More than any other of the teams centers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafrous10 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Geoffrion was either nervous or looked like just another mid-level hab AHLer. And Palushaj has got to be the worst hab I've seen in 10,15,30,40 yrs. He can't even make a stick to stick pass.Bring up Schultz and send him down to help Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't like him wearing the 57. I think I'm seeing Pouliot and it makes me sick all of a sudden. Should have wore #6, right between 5 and 7, and more in line with tradition than high numbers. I only saw the first period. He was the most used Habs forward. Looking at the scoreboard, he was not used much in the later periods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 That's because like JM, the coach seems to play the vets once they get behind. Which is most of the game. He was like everyone else, skated around, got a paycheck. Didn't hurt, on to the next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miklin Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Schultz has been no hell lately (by observation) and I think looks like he is playing hurt. I thought Geoffrion might want to change his name-way too much will be expected of him. Let's face it-he was mostly playing with Milwaukee not Nashville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willey101 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You know the season is over so you'd think they'd ry some different things. Like: 1) let's see if Cole-Pacioretty can play on opposite lines. 2) Let's see what Pleks can do with actual linemates 3) Maybe it's time to try Emelin on the PP anyone 4) Maybe it time to see wait Gomez can do from the press box Next game let's change things up. Geoffrion-Plekanec-Cole Pacioretty-Desharnais-Palushaj Bourque-Eller-White Staubitz-Nokelainen Gorges-Diaz Emelin-Subban Kaberle-Weber Campoli And more importantly let's see Kaberle on the left point to Emelin on the right point for the PP. He's got a good shot let's use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'd do it in a heartbeat I'm guessing the Habs will try something really big this summer. They need to, both from a hockey and a business perspective. Look for them to develop an exit strategy for Gomer Pyle and open the vault for whoever the top UFA is. Like I said in another thread, we need a #1 C, a #1 D, and a top-line winger. These needs can probably only be addressed via a massive trade or a massive UFA signing.

The major problem in this whole BG/PG regime is having players in positions they don't belong Pleks as #1 ctr Higgins 1st line lw Moen/Darche top 6 Gorges top 2-3 And many more.Their fanboys will blame injuries,but that's the regimes fault again for acquiring too many small players and overpaid older players.

Pleks and Georges are considered 1st pairing/1st line guys by the vast majority of the league and its fans. The two most educated hockey fans I personally know (An Oiler and Canuck fan) both agree with me on that point. I do not know what forms your opinion of Georges, but most people (everyone I know) see him as a top pairing guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
