The Brahma Bull Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 agreed. no offense to burrows, but he's only awesome when he gets to play with both sedins on the top line because he can read the play so well and finish the sedins beautiful passes. without both of them, it's better to have other players on the top line. throw higgins or booth or kassian up there with hank.

TVank15 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Booth - Sedin - Higgins Burrows - Kesler - Kassian Hansen - Pahlsson - Lapierre Grags - Manny - Raymond This is what I would like to see, though it won't happen Bring in Grags for Weise since he didn't play anyways, use him as a fourth liner, and 2nd PP QB.

burrows#1 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I would love to see Kesler and Burrows together - The line of Raymond - Kesler - Burrows was our go to 'shake things up' line last year in the early rounds of the playoffs and I am shocked we haven't seen it yet. Playing along side Burr always seems to wake Kesler up a bit too, he is showing good signs but really needs to put the team on his back the way we know he can! Not nervous for next game, this team is too good to be swept by LA in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendythirteenthrashers Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 we could use the extra defense by dressing 7 instead of wasting roster spots on unused forwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 The whole idea of pairing Booth up with Kesler has always blown my mind. They are identical players with the only difference being their positions and the fact that Kesler is better defensively. Really? Is it that difficult to see that those two players should be not be on the same line together? Get your head out of your ass AV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M A K A V E L I 96 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 They don't have any lines that can score right now. Time to load up a line with Burrows / Sedin / Keser in an effort to win at least one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
406281dylan Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have a feeling that the Kesler and booth situation is going to be similar to the Kovalev samsonov situation in MTL a couple years back. My Lines for next game Higgins-Hank-Booth Lappy-Kesler-burrows Hansen-Pahlsson-Raymond Grangnani-Manny-Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 As someone had said before. Those two together form the "Shall not pass" line. Might as well split them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJK19 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I like the idea of putting MAG as a defensive forward. He is not that good of a blueliner so AV should put him on the 4th line and see how he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksgyal Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 they never really had chemistry or I just never saw it. Only thing booth can do well is take the puck to the net (which he hasnt really in this series). he cant pass at all. I would rather have Samuelsson.

wendythirteenthrashers Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 grags and kass were great when they first showed up here...then boom...leashes.... kes booth have been puckhogs that barely produce for months philly doesnt have a leash on their rookies and look at the production...amazing av needs to take a chance on the youngens especially when the core is not producing at all...might inspire them... something has to happen...the tried and true isnt happening at all.... if there was ever a time for a real shakeup its now...!!

vannuxforlife Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I completely agree with shaking up the lines like the following except as mentioned from last year - Burrows - Kesler - Raymond, bring Kassian up for perhaps a pp shift etc but I don't think moving him to 2nd line at this point is a good idea. Then I like Grags to help on PP but I also say give Ballard a chance on the PP, though this last game the PP did seem fairly good. Booth - Sedin - Higgins Burrows - Kesler - Kassian Hansen - Pahlsson - Lapierre Grags - Manny - Raymond This is what I would like to see, though it won't happen Bring in Grags for Weise since he didn't play anyways, use him as a fourth liner, and 2nd PP QB.

Kwyjibo on the Loose Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Kesler/Booth is our Carter/Nash.....I hope we come up with a better solution than CBJ had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCammer Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have been saying this very thing in a number of other threads. This is one of the few times I have really not been supportive of the coaching staff. It seems obvious to me that they are not meshing. AV does so much line juggling but seems to want to force "chemistry" that clearly doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
