CanucksSayEh Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Not feelin the idea of Kes with the twins long term if the roster stays as is. We have had problems scoring from the 2nd line in the past, now we're taking the best player away from it... If it's just to get him going while Burr is out then I think its fine.

Blue & Green Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Considering face-offs have been one of the criticisms of Hodgson I was surprised by how well he did. Hopefully he is better than expected rather than the Canucks doing poorly because you're right - giving the Pens the puck off the draw all game will prove deadly.

Dr. Crossbar Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 John Tortorella talks to reporters in Pittsburgh Friday afternoon about having Ryan Kesler play right wing on a line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin as the Canucks prepare to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday.

CanucksSayEh Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The thing is, having Kesler on the second line has been pretty ineffective for awhile now. And then having no threat on the second line puts more pressure on the Sedins, and the other team focuses all their energy on them. At least with a loaded up first line, we have one dominant line that is more likely to come through with some points. Plus with the way Santorelli has been playing, he's been a better fit in that role than Kesler has been lately. I have no problem with it as a means to get the team going. I like that we have it as an option if the team struggles offensively down the road. It's not too different from what the Pens do with Crosby and Malkin.

DeNiro Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 You know what says a lot in this interview? When he says he has no problem loading up a line, said he isn't sure it is really loading up a line, "Maybe with the Names it is" I don't care who you were, show me who you are. Is what I get from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Noticed that too. Awesome line. And he's not just saying that players have to be held accountable, he's following through. It's evidenced by having Bieksa in the bottom pairing in practice. Or rewarding Higgins for his hard work by putting him on the top line. Players seem to really respond when a coach does that. It shows that no player is bigger than the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
