Off_The_Schneid! Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 They need to make a solid grinding hitting 4th line of Kenins Mathias Dorset Vey sits and the 3rd line gets more skilled with Baertshi Horvat Hansen For the playoffs they need to create more of a prototypical 4th line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux4lyfe Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 When healthy: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Burrows - Bonino - Vrbata Matthias - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen I didn't know we had 2 Burrows on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 When healthy: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Burrows - Bonino - Vrbata Matthias - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen You have Burrows on 2 lines but I'm sure you just meant to put Higgins there. Hopefully Kassian/Richardson can come come back soon as that big boi line is playoff built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 At least put Burrows on the first and third line so he gets a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If we could combine Matthias and Kassian together, that would be amazing. Matthias protects the puck well and drives the net hard every game with power forward moves and Kassian has a slick shot who also finishes his checks and gets physical. If only they could morph into one human being....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 When you give up an all star goalie for a supposed power forward. That is what is expected. Not a gentle giant who loses 3/4 of his puck battles in the corner.Mathias is in his UFA year and its his time to cash in. One would think he would go balls out every game to get a huge offer thrown at him by numerous teams come July 1. I agree totally. It is time for him to pick it up or he is literally costing himself hundreds of thousand dollars; if not millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you have Vey on your line,chances are,that line will not produce...I think Matthias needs Richardson back,it definitely elevates his game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 so far i havent seen kassian do better with the sedins than burrows. you sure thats an upgrade? Playoffs are different (refs put away the whistles) and the Sedins need a line mate who can prevent the extra stuff. Kass has a screw loose (in a good way, mostly) and that will make the other teams think before taking any cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Matthias and Kassian fit together like peanut butter and jelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greetingsfrombrazil Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 so far i havent seen kassian do better with the sedins than burrows. you sure thats an upgrade? Burr can play LW, Kass us exclusively a RW. Or go with Matthias - Richardson - Kassian and Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen, as posted above. Personally I prefer that lineup, Burrows can do the dirty work with the Sedins better than Kass, they dominated last night and #14 was a huge part of it. For now, I'd scratch Vey, play Baertschi at LW and Matthias at C, although I think they did fine against LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo.Horvat53 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hopefully we have this for game 1: Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Higgins-Bonino-Vrbata Matthias-Richardson-Kassian Dorsett-Horvat-Hansen Edler-Tanev Sbisa-Bieksa Hamhuis-Weber Lack/Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Matthias-Richardson-Kassian they've clicked before together and they can do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 When healthy: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Bonino - Vrbata Matthias - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen That's a deep team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well, we could try to move him to center and move Dorsett to LW and Vey to RW and see what happens. Matthias at centre will have more room to roam the ice than on wing. Otherwise, nothing... just wait for Richardson (and Kassian) to come back.

48MPHSlapShot Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Move Matthias back to center. He seems to play better when he's playing up the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Let's face it, the Kings stunk it up tonight. Give the Canucks some credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Mattias is not the best faceoff man in the game... but he seems to play much better at center, both in the breakout and backchecking. Until Richardson comes back, I would move him to center, and put either Vey or Baertschi on the wing. Once Richardson comes back, Mattias has to be bumped to the wing again. We desperately need Richardson's faceoff skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman13 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Everyone saying bench him is crazy. He is tied for 2nd on the team in goals right now.... yeah lets bench him because he is one of our few players who drives to the net, but he is still 'soft'. Must the the same people who call the Sedins soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Monahan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 As much as desiboy loves to harp on Matthias for his drop-off in production since the deadline, I don't think it's unfair to place most of the blame on his linemates. With the injuries to Richie and Kass his quality of linemates hasn't been the best for somebody to produce points. Matthias is a great complementary player but he can't drive a line himself, so having guys like Richardson play with him that can go win possession battles and feed him the puck etc etc makes him exponentially better. I'm still a Vey supporter for the most part, but if we're looking to ice our best lineup in the playoffs I think Vey exits stage right and we need Kass and Richie to help Matthias out.
