Now That You Have Seen The 3Rd Line In Its Entirety, Pahlsson Or Hodgson?

[wtpasc]

nothing against Hodgson, but this position in the lineup is so much better suited to a guy like Pahlsson.

[wendythirteenthrashers]

122 - 13.... at least most people are using their brains now...

[Canuck Surfer]

With a shutdown line A = Pahlsson/Hansen/Higgins B = Manny/Lappy/Bitz

Scoring line 2 = Burrows/Hodgson/Higgins Still a great two way line, sorry, Hodgson not a liability

Scoring line 1 = Danny/Hank/Kesler > Kes adds more goal scoring, net presence, boardwork, forechecking, speed & size to this line at the expense of some play making. The size makes it accountable to match ups it could not deal with before.

And if that did not work, I'm happy to sit Hodgson rather than loose him for only Kassian!

Answer the guys question where would Cody play on the 2nd line.

[Shavin19]

Pahlsson for sure !!!! with the experience in the playoffs and a solid shutdown player !!! And his faceoffs percentage is over 50%.

[themonicator]

The "PhD line"

Higgins - Pahlsson - Dane

That line will be a difference maker in the playoffs. Having a legit shut down line makes it hard for other teams to play against us.

[JasetheCanuck]

best third line i've seen in a long time. very solid defensively and has the ability to chip in offensively.. Pahlsson was a great acquisition that at the deadline.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

PAHLSSON.

No contest.

[wizardB]

Cody would have looked great between Kes and Booth on the second and we could have still had Pahlsson on the third had,oh and we would have had Sulzter on the D a strong force rather than the defensive liability we got in the trade....trade still sucks and was a bad move.

[Hyzer]

Sammy. No contest. His face off percentage is friggin' ridiculous.

[Millerdraft]

(couldnt find his faceoff % just with the canucks so that is for the entire season)

[Amish Rake Fighter]

If I was a Kings fan, I would prefer Hodgson.

Pahlsson, no contest

[dura_mater]

Pahlsson on 3rd, Hodgson on 2nd.

[puckluv]

Pahlsson on 3rd, Hodgson on 2nd.

[puckluv]

I don't know how you got plused for this. Where is Kesler suppose to go if you're promoting CoHo to the 2nd line? He's not a winger.

[Raph]

Some people seem to forget that we downgraded the 2nd line to improve the 3rd line. Higgins made the 2nd line a threat, and he is also making the 3rd line better. Now there is a hole left in the musical chair of 2nd line winger. At the moment, AV continues to use the awkward combination of Raymond-Kesler-Booth which has been ineffective all season.

[Toni Zamboni]

and Gillis is saying "how you like me now!"...

[Raph]

I don't know how you got plused for this. Where is Kesler suppose to go if you're promoting CoHo to the 2nd line? He's not a winger.

[JoshuaGuy]

Name a season where Kesler didn't get injured in the playoffs.

[Langdon Algur]

Pahlson wasn't traded for Hodgson

Kas was

wish we could have both centres with Hodgson learning to play wing or Lappy playing wing and Hodgson centring the 4th line.

[sting]

This season=Pahlsson.

Problem is in a few years it would be nice having Hodgson waiting to take over big minutes from Sedin. Can only hope Schroeder has top line potential like Cody or this could hurt down the road.

Kassian is goin to be a beast but Gragnani is weak and horrible in his own zone. Not a big fan so far.
