dlbalr Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Domi-Evans-Belzile is an interesting one. Evans and Belzile played together a lot in Laval so there's some chemistry there. Having two centres on the line allows for a bit of faceoff flexibility as well and would see Domi at least playing some shifts down the middle still.

If Domi moves to the wing, wouldn’t it be to play top 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree ... but then Domi stays at 4C ... Drouin and tartar aren't moving to the 4th line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed ... on the 4th line Max plays centre ... although they could assign Evans the defensive responsibilities to free up Domi to push some offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could list it as Belzile-Domi-Evans as well if that's preferable. Technically, Belzile played LW last game and Evans does have a bit of RW experience in Laval. It was more the combo proposed on the previous page that caught my attention as an intriguing one that might have a bit of offensive upside while not being defensively deficient.

Drouin and tartar aren't moving to the 4th line Drouin better get it going then. At least TAtar is decent defensively. Drouin isnt. And if he isnt scoring, then moving him to fourth line RW and having Evans or Weal play centre isnt out of the question imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Drouin would be the first player to lose a top 9 spot in my opinion... I dont think I'd move him quite yet though because He would go sour I think and take it negatively. I dont see why we would want to change the KK line just yet either. I'd rather look to create another quality line on the 4th with Domi playing the offensive scorer. I really think the only answer to that is if Poehling can harness some potential on the coat-tails of the other 2 kids. He really should get the next tap on the shoulder especially with Evans injured. Weise HAS TO come out if we want that 4th line to take any step forward. Domi Poehling Belzile for game 1 is what I want to see. Domi to me is a winger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domi Poehling Belzile for game 1 is what I want to see. Domi to me is a winger Id like to see that line, or Evans in Belzile’s spot if he is ready. Don’t want to see Weisse ever again - but probably will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think we match up better vs TB then Philly. Stamkos isnt 100% Hedman just went down with a possible ankle I injury Flyers look good On a side note, Sergachev looks big and fast.

What I can't comment on is whether Poehling has shown enough in the "training camp" and practices to warrant the chance over Weal or belzile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Belzile is already in the lineup with Domi. I want Poehling inserted over Weise. I also want him to play in the middle. Let's see what he can do against the guy as a veteran took his position in Nate Thompson... Evan's is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Tatar SUZUKI* Gally Drouin KK* Armia Byron Danault Lehkonan (koenency line) DoMI* POEHLING* Belzile Evans (inj) Weal Chairot Weber Kulak Petry METE* FLEURY* Price That's my line up if CJ doesnt decide to switch back because of not having last change. Without the star power at C like Pitt... I can see him sticking to the evolved top 9 line changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poehling is intriguing to maybe insert into lineup, but those who have seen him in practice must think he isnt best choice. Too inexperienced yet? and watching a few playoffs games wont hurt him any.

What is the inside info that Julien has on Weise🤔 let’s see,, weise is a guy who won’t take a dumb penalty at a bad time? Nope that can’t be it. He may pull a John Druce? Doubt it. He’ll ALWAYS do the chip/dump in - maybe even if has a breakaway, so he knows he won’t give it away? Yep. That’s probably it. On the other hand, the inside info he ignores about Weise? He will suck whatever chance of offence his line has, because he has zero offensive ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come to the realization that he will be there game 1. All we can hope for is that he is able to rise to the occasion and give it to the flyers who kicked him to the curb.
