StraightFlush Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Karma is a mother.....lover..... I highly doubt treliving thought they'd be playing the 'nucks first round. This situation has serious "cam neely" written all over it. Gettin a little ahead of ourselves, but it does have that bit of foreshadowing. Neither team made any other trade on deadline. I said it on deadline day, sorry flames....you got robbed by a real GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_The_Schneid! Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It all depends on the actual healthyness of our injured reserve Mathias Kassian Richardson Who"s actually injured and whose just getting some rest? Kinda seems like Mathias should be good to go and I wouldn't be surprised to see Richardson in game 1 Sedin Sedin burrows Higgins bonino vrbata Mathias Richardson Dorset Kenins Horvat Hansen That's how I see game 1 and I'm a fan of baertschi. Just how old willy d thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Richardson has been out a long time and he probably won't be back until he's 100%. Mathias will be ready. I want Baertschi in but if Mathias and Higgins are good to go. He will be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireGillis Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm going to disagree. I love the trade to acquire him, but a couple goals in a pre-season type game isn't enough to get him in the playoff lineup over more established players. Not yet anyway. Hello there PJ Stock! Sven should play in the playoffs. He probably won't take higgins spot, but he should be on the horvat line with hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sven should start with Bonino, and Vrbata. You can obviously see the instant chemistry combined with very high skill. It's like a line of assassins, and a great looking second line threat. I realize the EDM game wasn't as tight checking, but Sven's passing ability and awareness on the ice is extremely good. He has a good sense for the game. Sick hands as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnipeshow91 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Normally, I would be opposed to put an unexperienced player in the NHL in a playoff situation, but baertschi looks legit. He was a top 6 player the whole game. Set up his teammates with slick passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I also like him in place of Kassian... he is just as much an offensive threat, but I think he is better defensively. if Kassian is healthy he "could" be a wrecking ball in a 7 game series. You don't sit a bull for a ballerina in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I would like to see him in the lineup, but down on the 3rd or 4th line. Higgins is more effective as 3rd liner anyways. May as well put talent on the second line. Baertschi was okay on the third/fourth line, but it was obvious when put with skilled players that he made the entire line better. That's why he will be a top-6 forward and why he needs to play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I absolutely love how Baertschi protects the puck. he always shields the puck and is able to use his smaller frame to block players from checking him. His goals weren't Baer-Down, but his two goal performance was Sven-sational. Hopefully he can go top Schi-ese against the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata Higgins - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen This is if Richardson and Kassian are back and ready to go. I'd rather see Kassian back with the Sedins, at least to start. Need him to terrorize the two dancing profiteroles and put their heads on a swivel.

Lui's Knob Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I think baerschi may get it. Speed and skill. I'm sure he'll play for A purpose against his old team that gave up on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see a voice of reason after what was a very soft game. He will get a shot eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoag Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Baertschi looked good with Bonino and Vrbata. I would give it a try for a game or two and see how it goes. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata Higgins - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen This is if Richardson and Kassian are back and ready to go. matthias needs in there... we really do have a good deep team!

Ossi Vaananen Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Back and forth on WD's comments regarding Baer in the post game. It seems he was impressed, but wants to stick with his main lineup. Believes however that Baertschi is more successful in a scoring role. Thinks that Baer can add offense to whichever line he is one. It could just be mind games by Willie to hide the fact from the Flames that Baer might start the playoffs. It would certainly give us more skill options. As per the injuries, I've only heard of Kassian skating on Friday. I'm not sure how long he's been out but the back is a serious thing, requiring more that a couple of skates to get his rhythm back. As much as I'd like to see him play, I'd rather see him rest up as he can often be awkward when returning to the lineup. Matthias is probably just resting and should be back for game 1 in any capacity. I haven't even heard of Richardson skating, and from prior injuries it seems he takes the pain threshold a day at a time. It seems bone bruising is tricky. With all this said, there's a strong possibility Baertschi could play. I don't however believe Vey would sit in his stead, so it's a matter of who's injured and what WD wants to bring in game 1. Th suspense is killing me. PLAYOFFS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
