UFCanuck Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Contrary to popular belief...... Dan Murphy @sportsnetmurph1h #Canucks Kesler staying at centre. AV trying Roy on the wing. Luongo gets the start. Sportsnet Pacific @SNETPacific1h RT @sportsnetmurph: #Canucks Burrows will be back with Sedins tonight. 2nd line Roy-Kesler-Hansen. Dan Murphy @sportsnetmurph31m #Canucks Derek Roy played LW during #sabres 2006+2007 playoff runs. 34GP 7G 15A. Chris Drury was his centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberries Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hopefully it is just for faceoffs , and they switch. Although i do think Roy played on Drury's wing and was quite successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Gdt, but anyways... Im not too sure I like the move. Rather stick with three solid centers down the middle. Hopefully it works... But I really don't like ebbet as the third dman. Lets go ROY BABY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho_Path Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'd rather see Kesler on the wing with Roy at center, but I guess AV isn't ever going to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have to say I prefer Roy on the wing than Kesler. Like others also have concerns it diminishes our depth at centre but it's an interesting experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Im willing to bet they will switch after draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime911 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think AV wants to try different lineup so that he can put them during playoffs... Because its better to try different line up now then in playoffs..anyways I still prefer Roy on third kesler on 2 line centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm going to lol so hard if Kesler still rips a wrist shot every time he enters the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoolander Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm excited that our top 6 is stacked, but I think Roy would be the more effective Centre outside the faceoff circle.......I think Kesler just whined and got his way. When asked about his success playing on Sundin's wing he said "maybe that's because I was playing with a Hall-of-Famer" ....That doesn't sound like he's too enthusiastic about playing wing, and it's kinda a slap in the face to Roy, telling him he's not a great Centre........ oh well, at least we're stacked up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's my belief that Kesler was to play wing and bitched about it. Himself before the team. No one is that big. Roy at his size is not an ideal candidate to play the wing, he needs open ice rather than working the boards and besides he's not a shooter...Kesler is. Can't say I like this not just the who play centre but for success players need to play where ever the coach wants to make the team better. Seems like dissent has turned up in the locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieCrumbs Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Starting to get down to the wire with all of these line shake ups. I mean, you don't want players trying to figure each other out during the first round. AV makes it really hard for any chemistry to develop between these guys, and once there seems to be some, he changes up all the lines! What the hell.
