erkayloomeh Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The reason they got roy third line center!!!!! well coach av has done it again bonehead decision roy is a way better option on the 3rd line gives the canucks more scoring threats AV ur fired at the end of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Roy has been pretty ineffective on the third line. I have no problem with this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Don't see a problem with Roy at 3c, give him decent wingers like Higgins and Kass/Hansen/Raymond/Booth and roll the lines. Minutes wise won't be a big difference, I like the idea of Kes at the wing but I thought the whole point of the Roy deal was to stack the team down the middle.

Vicky Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't mind this move at all. We have 7 games to try and get some scoring lines going. If this works, great. If it doesn't, Roy or Kes slot down to 3C when Higgs gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopesisCanucks Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I hope this will get Roy going putting up some points, he has played well but for a rental I want him playing well also putting up points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Why EBBETT? I'm so sick of this guy Call up Schroeder: Sedin-Sedin-Hansen Burrows-Roy-Kesler Raymond-Schroeder-Kassian Ebbett-Lapierre-Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm sorry but putting the teams best all around center on the wing is stupid. This team is much better when Ebbett doesn't play center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sedin Sedin Kassian Burrows Kes Lappy Raymond Roy Hansen Sestito Ebbett Weisse/Pinnizotto Our lines when Booth gets back Sedin Sedin Burrows Raymond Kes Kassian Booth Roy Hansen Sestito/ Ebbett Lappy Weisse Being strong down the middle is the key fir a deep run. Having Kesler on the wing doesn't fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Another irrational hater disguised as a fan. Ever consider that Kes may be at higher risk of re-injury at C so they are giving him a break outside of the toughest forward position while he gets himself into better shape?

HuddieJ Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Let's just throw all the names in a bingo ball cage and form our lines by pulling them out in sequences of three, then two for defense, starting goalie and back up. That's why they had both goalies in the hardest shot competition, right? Just in case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I could see doubling Kesler and Roy up on a line if the Canucks had another depth center who plays a shutdown style of game. As it stands, without Malhotra, and with smaller two way centers like Ebbett and Schroeder as the 5 and 6 options (centering the 3rd line), I'm not a big fan of the idea of using Kesler as winger with Roy (or vice versa, which I think makes more sense). Then again, AV makes decisions situationally, so getting some time in practice with Roy and Kesler together makes sense. The Canucks may need to load up in situations where they need to score/ are trailing a game, but I'd be surprised if that turned out to be a general option.

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Kesler's been racking up the assists lately so this makes no sense to me. If he was shooting the way he normally does, then it would make sense to play him with Roy, but right now he's doing a great job of setting up his linemates. Hopefully Roy can spark his scoring touch again, but I'd honestly much rather see this if Kesler's going to be used as a winger: Sedin - Sedin - Kesler Burrows - Roy - Hansen Raymond - Schroeder - Kassian Weise - Lapierre - Sestito Either way, having 3 scoring centers gives this team a lot of scary options. We're basically deeper than we were with even Hodgson, which is frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 finally. this is LONG overdue. it should have been booth - hodgson - kesler long ago...or at least try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the red Pony Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Really like the move, Roy is a better play maker and Kes should thrive off of this. Like Schroeder as the option for 3rd line over Ebbet, I guess AV is going with experience, I think Schroeder can be a difference maker if given the chance. Lou should have gotten the start last game, let Schnides fully recover, but I have no problem with Lou in between the pipes for this game. I hope AV gets the line juggling out of his system and sticks with a decided lineup before too long, give the boys 4 or so games before the playoffs to stick with the lines that have been decided on.
