CanucksJay Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 He's trying to bring balance to all 4 lines. He's knows our 3rd and 4th lines are vulnerable. He thinks SJS's 3rd and 4th lines are better than ours. He's switching back to get more offensive push-back on the top 2 lines. Game 2 will tell if his works or not, we'll have to see if the SJS can exploit our 3rd and 4th lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbal23 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 epic fail on those who think Gaunce is better option then Ebbet at this time. He's not. Give your heads a shake you crazy people at Canucks.com. He won't be an effective player for us in fact Gaunce at this stage will be eaten alive.

Blömqvist Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Raymond, Hansen and Roy were the only real threatening forwards the last game, so makes sense to split them up AV...meanwhile the Sedins will stay cold with a stale linemate in Burrows, and Kesler has nothing much to work with. This following lineup solves all those problems - Sedin - Sedin - Kassian (new fresh linemate, most amped up guy right now, proven chemistry and success before, hard to contain) Higgins - Kesler - Burrows (Burr/Kes have proven chemistry and all 3 are similar powerforward types) Hansen - Roy - Raymond (our best line, don't split them up) Weise - Lapierre - Sestito (4 big hitters, but also lots of speed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 the problem is not who lines up with who, but AV inability to get favorate match ups and being outcoached on the fly - what he needs to do is draw out the checking lines and shutdown d by throwing out the sedins, and then the team need to change on the fly and pen this line in their own end and tire them out, then allowing the sedins to come back out against a weaker pairing. What was happending though is almost remenisant of the Anaheim series a few years back where thei checking line stifled us and they were able to get favorable matchups all the time. Av needs to get quick changes on the fly to catch out the sharks and not rely on just using the last change at a face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yep. Sort of a drag that 4 lines cannot confidently be rolled. That is how much Manny is missed. Ill suspect that the twins will be matched differently. I also suspect that the flu is running thru the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not a fan of the Kesler Roy line... I'd rather see Raymond-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Roy-Hansen And replace AE with anyone Pinnizotto-Gaunce(if JS is injured)-Lapierre(takes defensive face offs) So Sedins-Kassian Raymond-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Roy-Hansen Pinnizotto-Gaunce-Lapierre Now that is a playoffs lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedaco Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Another lineup option: Sedins - Kassian Burrows - Kesler - Hansen Higgins - Roy - Raymond Weise - Lappy - Pinzo Switch Raymond and Lappy if Raymond isn't cutting it. And then Ebbet in for Pinzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbal23 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't mind those lines either except I dunno if Kassian is put in a position to succeed. Practice time should have been regular season. Moreover, I understand spliiting up Roy and Kesler to match their centre depth. Playing Higgins Roy Kesler could be dangerous for our bottom 6. Thats why while AV has his set lines today, he should also have a back up plan in case he sees our bottom 6 get destroyed. He should keep your line up suggestion in his back pocket and change it up if we are getting eaten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
