artful_dodger Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I thought with the recent dry spell of scoring and posts being made about lines and this player and that player sucking donkey... Why not throw our forwards' names into a hat, literally, and see what comes of it... I separated the centres and drew them first including wingers who can play centre, then the wingers left from that draw I put into the winger draw... The last man standing was the scratched forward, Line 1: Richardson Henrik Kassian Line 2: Vrbata Vey Daniel Line 3: Dorsett Matthias Hansen Line 4: Burrows Horvat Bonino Healthy Scratch: Chris Higgins Feel free to comment on my lines, or post your own. Interesting combos and could create something new we haven't seen or thought of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting combos and could create something new we haven't seen or thought of... Jokes aside, but with our second line, we'd be losing face-off draws like crazy. And I never thought of putting Boner on the wing. Third line looks feisty. Getting into the opponents face. I've done exactly what you have done and here is mine: Line 1: Matthias/Henrik/Burrows Line 2: Vrbata/Horvat/Daniel Line 3: Higgins/Boner/Kassian Line 4: Dorsett/Richardson/Hansen Healthy scratch: Vey. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. Maybe we don't think of them as first line, second line, etc... Just different combos to look at... At this stage of our offensive game, why not? I think the Henrik line is interesting, Henrik with a big body like Matthias that can cycle and Burrows who goes to the net and can fish out loose pucks..Of course the Dorsett line is a good one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. I don't think you got that this is completely random apart from ensuring that 4 centers are drawn first. There is no thought to who is best in what position, or the overall quality of the lineup. That means some centers will end up on the wing, and some wingers for us who are listed as centers will end up taking draws. Not much point in critiquing the outcome as a result. And of course, since it's completely random there's not a lot of point to it either apart from being so bored you want to see what random combination of letters you can put together.

Hello, that would be the point... Some of these line proposals can be narrow focused... Why not random? It's called thinking out of the box and having fun doing something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like Bonino as a 4th line winger. Grit, baby! And goonery at its best. And Richardson as 1st line left wing also rocks. Can take draws when Henrik's waived out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Why not! I'm bored. Your lines are pretty outside the box. But you never know... Any of those lines could click or do poorly. Here's mine! I'm playing it safer and pretty much sticking to pairs that worked best so far. Daniel Henrik Hansen Higgins Bonino Vrbata Matthias Richardson Kassian Dorsett Horvat/Vey Burrows I like my pairs on the left wing and center. I'd keep them all together and if need be just swap right wingers. Defense Eddy Tanev, bieksa stanton, Weber sbisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van_City123 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My lines. Hansen-Bonino-Higgins Dorsett-Richardson-Burrows Matthias-Vey-Kassian Vrbata-Henrik-Horvat Scratch- Daniel interesting lines to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAY JAY Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Not sure how much fun it was, but interesting lines certainly result from the game. My lines, drawn from a Canuck cap: 1. Higgins - Horvat - Richardson 2. Kassian - Bonino - Vey 3. Vrbatta - H.Sedin - Dorsett 4. Burrows - Matthias - D. Sedin Healthy Scratch: Hansen I would like to see the 3rd. and 4th. combos for real. Wish Higgins had been my scratch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
