Habber31 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Kotkaniemi, looked OK, but that third line brings nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like cj is giving him some Gallagher time to see if he improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Lehkonen and Byron also kill penalties. They have to play somewhere... Byron will be fine in my opinion. Lehkonen is what he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The team has scored 45 goals in 12 games. We can live with one of our four lines struggling and giving them the time to work their way through it and get it back on track. There is no reason to panic on that line. This isn't a situation where the offence is struggling and we need to panic about the 19 year old C and his line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it would bring down the amount of goals scored THAT much, but we did face quite a few backup goalies to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a fairly Xanaxed discussion on this forum about 3 struggling players. Now then... which superstar can we get for Byron, Lehkonen and a 2nd? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That said, We've been lacking energy twice in back-to-back games earlier this season (Detroit and Minnesota). I'd bring in Weal and sit Byron. I'd bring in Folin and Kulak and sit Reilly and Fleury. Get some fresh legs in tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Kotkaniemi is day-to-day with a mild groin issue so Weal's in. Suzuki moves up to the 3C role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to hear that about KK but it could explain his poor play recently. This is a good opportunity for Suzuki, he has shown in the past he thrives in the centre role.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It always feels like Vegas is going to be a tough barn to play in... it’s up there with San Jose in my books in terms of difficulty, we just don’t have that long history of being able to play there. I hope this doesn’t turn out to be “one of those games”. I’m planning on staying up for the entire thing, so here’s to hoping for an entertaining game that turns into a W.

I actually thought that Fleury had a decent game last night and even if we disagree about that he is still a much stronger option than Folin.

We’ve only been able to play there twice. We’re 2-0 at home, 1-1 on the road against them after an overtime win last year. It’s still one of the toughest barns to visit in my opinion. Up there with the Shark Tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most circumstances, sure. But I think in back-to-backs you rotate your lineup. Play the rested players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
