zumpano21 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Feels like game 1 of a brand new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It does feel like a new season and I hope this new season starts as well as the last one did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 One sort of advantage the DD has is that for the next few weeks (except next Tuesday versus Ottawa) they play teams 2 or 3 games in a row ... if he makes the strategic/system tweaks after the first game of each "series" the players can focus on the change rather than adjusting to who the next opponent will be.

hankhab Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 No morning skate? Sure would be interesting to see what lineup changes of any we might see tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Those are the morning skate lines. Maintenance day for Price and Edmundson. For anyone wondering where the image in the first post came from, it's from the media notes. The Habs don't release it publicly but Winnipeg does. For anyone interested, here's the full set of notes: https://cms.nhl.bamgrid.com/images/assets/binary/321767760/binary-file/file.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Byron at center that much - especially on the fourth line - but it does seem like a bit of an attempt at a fivehead move over playing a righthanded, defensively-responsible, and natural centerman in Evans.

revvvrob Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I had expected there to have been more of a rotation among the players given the condensed schedule. Like Tatar sitting or Lekhs was. I feel like Weber should have the night off now and then - everyone really. it’s not a benching but a resting. maybe the cap crunch made that impossible - but still - it’s something I expected and still think would be prudent.

TurdBurglar Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I expect to see an energized, forechecking team tonight. I’m actually more curious to see what the special teams will look like, if any changes are made yet at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiarot - Weber Edmundson - Petry Kulak - Romanov I hadn’t realized how good Petry & Edmundson’s +/- was compared to the rest of the team. Maybe increase their minutes or swap Edmundson and Chiarot to close that gap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I’d like to see Romanov play with eithe Weber or Petry when not lined up against the opposition’s top line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that pairing is not what I’d want for my top D pairing. The issue is all our LD are at best 2nd pairing dmen and realistically would be suited to being on he third pairing on a better D core.

Romanov gets big minutes and learns from one of the best Weber gets his slow ass covered by a guy that never runs out of energy and is eager as hell Kulak and Petry were so good together in the playoffs.

Romanov isn’t ready for big minutes. I don’t mind him playing with both Petry and Weber - can learn from both. But I don’t want him playing big minutes and playing against top lines. Better to shelter him, h lap him learn and gain some confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
