desiboynux4lifee******* Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Last year Horvat was playing well because he had guys who fought board battles; so far this year Horvat has had one goal on a powerplay against Calgary, other then that him and Vrbata have been struggling and the reason is simple, Vrbata is one damn Lazy player! The guy doesn't win puck battles he stands in the corner waiting to shoot the puck, honestly Willie just play him with the Sedins because the 2nd line is being affected from Vrbata's poor play! Don't matter where you play him, if its not with the Sedins or on the powerplay; Vrbata is pretty much useless on this team. Saw it in last years playoffs and now seeing it again, seems like Vrbata got extra lazy this year. Wow please keep him away from Horvat's line because Horvat needs guys who can help him fore-check! I understand snipers need to get open but why not fore-check a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzy Desjardins Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I don't understand why they don't go back to Vrby with the twins for at least a game or even a couple periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Vrbata makes a lot of selfish shots on net when there's nobody in front of the net. I can see Horvat get frustrated sometimes seeing him make those shots. He doesn't forecheck hard and it didn't help having Brandon friggin Prust on the other wing either.

thejazz97 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Vrbata would be good on a line with Sutter, Hansen, or Burrows. Because Sutter's with the Sedins and McCann is with Hansen, that leaves Burr. Sedin - Sedin - Sutter Burrows - Horvat - Vrbata Baertschi - McCann - Hansen Virtanen - Cracknell - Dorsett Prust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Vrbata is just snake bitten right now that line would be considered great with plenty of points by all 3 players if Vrbata buries a couple chances don't worry he is probably gone at the trade deadline so we can look forward to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfruits Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Horvat's line finished with a -3 so yeah let me guess that's going to happen every single game right? don't bother replying i know you can only look at one game and come to a conclusion on how the entire season will play out must be nice having that crystal ball RELAX honestly i would hate to see how this board would be with a team like the Oilers over the last decade or Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Fig Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Horvat has never played with a player like Vrbata before at any level....it's no surprise they don't play well together. It might happen in time, but until then it's strangers in the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger009 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Wow, we sure bury players quickly here at the CDC. Whether you blame Vrbata or not, the line doesn't work. In fact I think Baertschi was better there because he could at least feed Vrbata the puck. In the end though, the kid line should be given a chance, but old Willy in his wisdom likes Prust and Dorsett as second liners. Wait for second line Higgins to make his return.

Tortorella's Rant Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Vrbata must think it's still the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 This lineup would look interesting: Sedin/Sedin/Sutter or Vrbata Burrows/McCann/Vrbata or Sutter Baertschi/Horvat/Virtanen Prust/Cracknell/Hansen Dorsett This is the line-up I want to ice when we vs the oilers.

Mathew Barzal Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Not dragged down, clash of styles. Neither Baertschi or Vrbata will work with Horvat. Swap Sutter with Vrbata IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
