Kesler19 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Booth-henrik-lappiere Higgins-kesler-burrows Raymond-pahlsson-hansen Ebbett/weise-malhotra-kassian Bieksa salo Edler hamhuis Tanev ballard Time to change things up. Five on five the canucks have been outplayed by the kings and it all goes to the loss of our cycle game. The canucks need to play the game below the goal line where they had the most success this year. Each of these lines has speed, grit, and some finish. As for the defense, edler needs to play with hamhuis just because he needs somebody to consistently back him up right now. Also, kesler is playing well right now but has struggled as far as scoring. Burrows has proven to be the best with kesler and higgins is very capable of scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucklehead ll Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yep put Schneider in .Lous' played great but there are other reasons to put the 1B in .For one the team will get the message and two it will give the team a look unfamliar to LA.

Day one Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 For a team touted to have so much depth, how does it fall apart so easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day one Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The lines last night were fine. We outchanced outskated and dominated that game.... well 5 on 5 we did. Our special teams are 100% responsible for us being down 0-2. We would be up 2-0 if our special teams were just average. For the majority of this and all of last season our powerplay and penalty kill were the best in the league. I was at last nights game and when ever we were given a powerplay the crowd was cheering and I was booing. Gimme more 5 on 5 put the whistles away ref.

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I would do this May Ray- Sedin- Hansel hopefully Raymond or Hansen (mmmbop) can use some speed to get open for a pass. Higgins- Kesler- Booth gotta give credit to the amex line Burr- MaxLap-Kassian the heavy diaper disturbers line Malhotra-Pahlson- Wise the nothing flashy line Ham-Juice the combo of Ball -Juice was terrible last night Ham - Juice is the way to go. Edler-Tanev I think Tanev is a better fit for Edler right now not to knock on Salo but he's looked a little sluggish. Bally- Salo Potent offensively experienced guys I think a fresher Salo will look better out there and may contribute on the PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'NucK™ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 you guys who still have hard-ons for Lu amaze me... we've lost 2 straight.. we either need to start playing better or we need our goalie to steal us games. lu clearly can't steal us a game, so put Schneider in to get the team playing some real hockey (or to steal a game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Luo has been the best player for us so far. but I'd play schnides just to shake it up and because if we loose the turd no matter what goalie plays it no way I put Schnides in for game 4 so use him for game one in LA because if you don't then he should have been dealt at the deadline for someone who would play and be a dif maker.

keslerian one Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Raymond - Henrik - Hansen Booth - Kesler - Higgins Burrows - Pahlsson - Lappy Ebbett - Malhotra - Weise If we're going to use three lines anyways without Danny in the line up, we might as well go with this. Hansen is clearly been one of our best forwards. Kesler and Henrik on the same line won't work unless it's a PP. They both need the puck a lot and play different style. I wasn't a fan of the AMEX line, but their play has made me a believer too. Why not keep it? Pahlsson with Burr and Lappy - looked really good when they played for a bit in the reg season. French grinders with Pahlsson - best checking/agitating line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sia Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 When asked who's gonna start Sunday, AV refused to say who's starting because according to him, he wants to notify his goalies first... and that means that Cory is definitely starting, because if it was Lu, there would be no need for him to notify anyone since Luongo has always been the starting goalie unless notified otherwise... I think it's gonna be a mistake starting Cory... Luongo's been playing well and he's bound to steal a game or two and LA isn't exactly one of the places he has trouble with (like Chicago or Minnesota)... I think he can definitely steal 1 of the 2 games there and if the team makes a half decent effort for the other one, there's a fairly good chance that we could come back here tied 2-2 for game 5... This is gonna be a very risky move; to start Cory just to spark up the team, especially considering the fact that Luongo's actually playing well... I donnu, i just don't have a good feeling about this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cIutch Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Burrows - Henrik - Lapierre Its worked before, hopefully it will agian. Booth - Kesler - Kassian three big strong players who will take abuse and go the dirty areas. Higgins - Pahlsson - Hansen AV was willing to wreck our best line before to put these guys together so lets go with them. Raymond - Malhotra - Weise Might as well keep Raymond in, Just in case he is needed in the Top 9 somewhere. Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Salo Ballard - Tanev for all the pairs, Just go with what got you there. Schnieder I am a relentless Luongo Supporter, I think anyone blaming him for this mess is either Blind or just didn't watch the games, but we need to shake it up, It's a must, this is the Reason we kept schnieder.
