Grant and KK. But let's see what Vign wants. Either way we will need 4 lines going to get by the flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I have to give huge props to CJ for promoting both youngsters - I frankly didn't think that CJ had that boldness in him. We do indeed have a chance to win this series: -Price continues playing so well -Suzuki continues playing smart hockey -Kman continues to be involved in the play (he used to wait for the play to come to him). Kman continues to use his bigger, stronger body and he continues to go to the net. -Weber continues his high level of play -Petry continues to be the best player on the ice -Drouin continues to play smart instead of stupid (extreme high risk plays that never pan out or one man army of 1 vs 5 like he used to, high risk passes that result in play going the other way followed by a Drouin penalty to try and coveer the mistake). He was better in game 3 and 4 - use your skill and work hard Drouin (when you do this, you are very dangerous)! -if Domi can find his game (give him a better winger than Weise please). Philly is a 4 line team kind of like we are so this series will be fun. If Price finds that other level, I'm talking 1986 or 1993 Roy level then we can do damage.

Those are good points, but if we need to rely on Price to carry the team I am affraid we will be disappointment. Same as the Blue Jackets are today. For me, Price need to merely be Price (excellent) without turning into monster mode (Roy); but the offense has to score as they were doing in during the season when they were on a roll. That is the challenge in my view, getting 3-4 goal production consistently from the forwards with Price winning the odd game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect he would want Suzuki on Couturier and KK on Grant, despite the "Grant line" having the better numbers With last change (and ignoring the likely preference every team has to play any of their top three against the opponent's 4th line) I expect Vigneault would like to have Hayes on KK as his is the least defensively oriented of the Habs top 3 lines as much as possible ... might that lead Julien to sometimes flip where we expect Danault and KK to play ... giving Drouin a more defensive centre and KK more defensive wingers? Hope not as Suzuki and KK versus Hays and Coutrier would be great challenge for the youngsters to take on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not as Suzuki and KK versus Hays and Coutrier would be great challenge for the youngsters to take on. I think both Kotkaniemi and Armia are pretty responsible defensively, with Drouin less so. Given how well the latest lines played together, I would expect Julien to start with those, and only shuffle if they are struggling against their assignments. Which, I supposed, isn't really disagreeing with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
