Brad Marchand Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I like him on the right side. Sets him up better for one-timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirensong Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 RW for the same reason Erik Cole loves playing RW. A left handed shot has a much more effective drive to the net on the right side, because you can drop your inside shoulder and protect the puck while being on your forehand when making a move. Same reason Ovechkin a right handed shot likes playing the left side. And Nash a left handed shot likes playing the right side. Playing your off wing makes your power game much more effective. You dont see guys drop a shoulder and drive the net on their natural side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think he's better on the right, he doesn't get poke checked as often cutting across the net with speed. He also shoots more on the rush when playing RW. He plays just like MayRay on the LW.... All dash and no cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Who are we talking about? David Zoolander? Can he only drive from the right or something because that would suck? I wonder if he knows how to skate backwards? My whole perspective on David Zoolander has completely changed, thanks for ruining my evening sir.

ButterBean Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Whatever he's most comfortable with. Seems better on the right side in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck919191 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Wait, you can't drive the net from the left side? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirensong87 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 And of course if you're terrible at playing a pass off your skate or backhand in your own end then you pose as a liability. Shooting one way and playing the opposite wing has its pros and cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren5556 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wouldn't mind seeing booth play with the sedins when the season starts just to see how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Put him on the right side with the twins to start the season because: 1) Burrows wasn't showing much chemistry with the Sedins down the stretch when they had their career-long drought 2) Booth had some success playing with the twins in the limited time he got 3) Burrows is getting older and past his prime, Booth is much younger and has more potential so more likely to break out 4) Booth is a bigger body and takes the puck much harder to the net than Burrows 5) Burrows has plenty of chemistry with Lapierre in the games they played together last season Therefore I want to see this to start next season: Sedin - Sedin - Booth Burrows - Lapierre - Higgins Raymond - Malhotra - Hansen Kassian - Gaunce/Schroeder/Ebbett - Weise/Jensen/Volpatti/Pinizotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I would like him to be starting in Winnipeg and Evander Kane starting on our left wing in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler's Nose Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If higgy or MayRay is on is line start him at RW, if Kass has a good camp and is on the second line then LW because Kass has a right shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
