uber_pwnzor Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So they're playing together tonight, hope it works out. I'm a afraid that Bieksa's gonna turn over the puck with Edler a mile away, but hopefully they can play responsibly. What do you guys think?

DeNiro Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Both players love to pinch alot, so it should be an adventure... Haven't we tried this pairing before? What are the other pairings gonna be then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susraiders Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I thought that this was a trade proposal. I opened this thread getting ready to rip into you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Believe they were Hammer - Tanev Gargnani - Salo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_pwnzor Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hmm, Hamhuis and Tanev is interesting. I wonder if they're trying to get Tanev to use the offensive side of his game more. He's a great skater, and has a pretty hard shot. It would be nice to see the coaching staff let him wheel and deal a little more. Because I think he could be an option on one of our PP units.

DeNiro Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 On a side note, does anyone know why Connauton isn't playing for the Woves tonight? Possible callup coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greetingsfrombrazil Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I liked it, our defense looks more balanced this way. Salo gives Gragnani more room for him to jump in the attack, and Hamhuis experience will help out Tanev. They can both move the puck well, and Edler and Bieksa looks great in both ends. I really hope that this works out, it doesn't have to be permanent, but I'm looking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Burrows Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I don't think that this pairing will work. Hammer and Tanev seems like a true shutdown pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What was the pairing when KB3 scored the Game winner game 5 against the Sharks? Yea that's right, Edler-Bieksa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The bottom two pairings look decent (though Hammer and Tanev are a little too conservative and without a shooter; not worried really about Edler and Bieksa, I think they've shown that they can do enough to cover their own mistakes; looking forward to the Gragnani-Salo pairing, offensive puck-mover with a steadier guy with a bomb on the other side). I guess what really intrigues me (and probably everyone else) is the Twins - Raymond unit and how they'll pan out together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucksgyal Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 = disaster? lol well, when we you have two who love to pinch are very offensive, who gonna play defense? Before, we had edler (offensive) with salo (defensive), Bieksa (offensive) with Hamhuis (defensive), Gragnani (offensive) with tanev (defensive?) <--considering their strengths.. But is it just me or Hamhuis and Tanev can be a GREAT shutdown pair?? Of course, a more experienced Tanev with Hamhuis... Gragnani and Salo should be good. I am jjust a tiny bit* worried about Edler and Bieksa + stanchion? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rypper-37 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't like it, Edler is an offensive minded D. On paper, it stifles the offensive production of one. However, I know that these two had chemistry before and hopefully, this can spark some fire in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I really like both players alot, but whenever they played together last year it was a defensive nightmare. Neither one was more too blame than the other...Edler couldn't hold the puck in the offensive zone to save his life and KB3 couldnt have timed his pinches at worse times if he tried. But maybe this year it'll work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
