Canouver Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Put him on the fifth line. However if raymond would have actually hit kopitar and knocked him down this thread would not exist today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js604 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Read my previous posts you're f*king with the lines for what? Keslers been a f*ck up this season,castigate him !LEAVE the in-sync lines alone or do you not want to win?The 2nd line is the Bastard line STOP moving good players onto it to have them destroyed by KESLER and screwing the working lines to do this..Q... Have you been watching any of the games so far before spewing this puke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sedin - Sedin - Booth Burrows - Kesler - Higgins Hansen - Pahlsson - Reinprecht Bitz - Malhotra - Lapierre Honestly I'd rather see Lapierre at 4th line center and Kassian on the wing with Raymond and Malhotra sitting on the bench, but we'll need Manny for all the penalties the goons will take. Get Bitz out there and make him take off one of their star's heads. That's apparently how you win in this league nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would like to see him in the lineup He has a ton of speed and he does get a million chances a game who knows one might make its way into the back of the net next game How come there are no threads like this about Edler and Bieksa for there horrid play in the first 3 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchengc Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have no idea what AV will do regarding raymond. Obviously he doesn't trust the 4th line now because we are basically playing a 3 line game. Raymond was being used on the 2nd unit PP and he is also an option for PK. Even if we have Bitz/Weise/Ebbet on the 4th I think they will get the Kassian treatment where any of those will only see the ice 4-5min max. Raymond, despite how ineffective he has been thus far in the playoffs, AV probably trust him more and feel more comfortable putting him out there for at least 10min a game.

RC_22 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think he should be in the line up because there are not a ton of better options at this point, but somewhere in the bottom 6. probably needs a new home for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieCrumbs Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I can't take somebody seriously that refers to "game 5" when it hasn't even been played yet. On the note of Raymond, I would like to see him scratched again. Ebbett is more useful in the line up at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklasjensen46 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No other forward to replace raymond. Ebbet is Tambellini 2.0. Not as offensive as Raymond. his Although at this time id like to see weise in for kassian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The chances he gets (and doesn't bury) takes away chances from burrows and Kesler. He never passes the pucks and every rush instead on bringing the puck to the net when Burr and Kes are crashing the net he circle the net and pass to the D or takes a long wrister that get deflected or easily saved by the goalie. 2 on 1 he never passes or when he does it never gets through.

CanuckfanRob Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I can't stand Raymond right now.. BUT, he has to be in our lineup. Even if we play him on the 4th line, if any injury occurs we know he can slot into another line. If we dress Bitz and say Booth gets hurt. Kinda tough to slot Bitz into that 2nd line..

Odjickwillkillyou Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I will always have a weird soft spot in my hardened hart for MayRay, but he does not deserve to be in more than Wiese or Bitz or Hamburglar at this point. His play predicates that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inCalgaryCANUCKSFAN Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I cant stand Raymond, like pointed out he will not go the gritty areas, he is so predictable his game is a north and south. fly down the wing shot from top of circle, fly down the wing button hook and off the board and back to the point. So much speed but does nothing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpworsley Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Bench him in favour of who?? He brings more talent then Ebbet Bitz or anyone else on the roster that would slot in for him. I am not a big fan of his, however I am a lesser fan of the alternative. Perhaps if he could put a few in the net there wouldn't be so many dump Raymond threads. The same could be said for Booth and Kesler. They have to find a way of getting pucks on net creating rebounds not the typical one that Quick has had little problems gobbling up. Kesler screen seems to be working and giving Quick trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renelsisc Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 He should never have been in game ONE! This guy has been playing like crap all season. Speed is nothing without control (oops i sound like a tire commercial) but he's just god awful. Sedins - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Kassian Higgins - Pahlsson - Hansen Lapierre - Malhotra - Bitz Done.

Bodee Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Speed is nothing without control (oops) Booth No seriously I like Booth. I think he had his best game in a while the other night...............that said I would have to say Raymond has more control of the puck than Booth, passes better, and up to the other night laid on more chances and had more shots than Booth............imo.

CHIPS Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Raymond has been playing his heart out all series. Then one bad play and people want him benched. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
