swizzey Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 With Henrik Sedin injured and most likely not playing Tuesday vs. the Rangers, what would you like the lineup to look like? I personally liked seeing McCann with Daniel Sedin. What did you all think? Did you miss Virtanen vs. the Islanders? Sedin - McCann - Hansen (Vrbata?) Baertschi - Horvat - Vrbata Etem - Vey - Burrows Prust (Virtanen?) - Cracknell - Dorsett Edler - Tanev Biega - Hutton Sbisa - Bartkowski Miller (Markstrom?) *Much love from Charlotte, NC - Canuck for life!

Blueberries Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm prepared for Vey and Dorsett to get first line reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Canuck Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 i would have Virtanen and Pedan in the lineup.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 McCann on the first: he looked good there today and it's where he'll be in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Bo is next in line after Henrik. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see Vey there knowing Willie. As much as I wouldn't wana see Bo and Baer broken up, I'd like to see what McCann can do with Baertschi.

Yes to that prediction. He's clearly a number one centre along the lines of a Doug Gilmore. Skill, combined with a nasty edge. he thinks the game super fast too. Glad he was gifted to us at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfreako Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is everyone just speculating or did Henrik or someone else say he's not playing? Sorry if I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech N9ne Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sedin - McCann - Hansen (looked pretty good tonight) Baertschi - Bo -Vrbata (have been deadly recently why change it) Etem - Vey - Virt (young, fast, and potentially a difference maker) Dorset or Prust - Cracker - Burr (Decent looking shut down line) Edler - Tanev (someones gotta bail out edler hah) Hutton - Sbisa (for our team thats not a bad 2nd pairing, especially if Sbisa can improve from how he was tonight) Biega - Bart (limited ice time unless they are stepping it up) Miller Gotta go with the hotter hand and Miller earned his wage with tonight's win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was borderline if he would even play on the rest of the trip. He's definitely out at least a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he needs is a bit more strength and faceoff skill and he'll be ripping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have incredibly strong hands, wrists, and forearms to have that release. I bet he's a pretty good fighter too. I agree with you that he's a player to be excited about.

vladimirpuck Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think they should keep the Baertschi - Horvat - Vrbata line together, they seem to be playing well together. Horvat seems to have found his game while playing with them. Sedin - McCann - Hansen Baertschi - Horvat - Vrbata Etem - Vey - Burrows Prust - Cracknell - Dorsett Edler - Tanev Biega - Hutton Sbisa - Bartkowski Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Virt in for Burr Crack in for Prust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliboy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 They said on Global news that he might return to Vancouver for evaluation. I expect McCann will play on the first line, he did a good job there before when Hank was out, keep Vey with Etem. Daniel - McCann - Hansen Baer - Horvat - Vrbata Etem - Vey - Burr Dorest - Cracknell - Virt This is what I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I expect McCann to move up until Sutter gets back. I don't think Willie wants to mess with Etem/Vey and Horvat/Baertschi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think that if Hank can't get back on Tuesday, I expect two changes: first, McCann on first line. Virtenan should get back on, and Cracknell centering 4th line with Virtenan and Prust or Dorsett. I wouldn't touch rest of the line-up except for 4th line. I feel that Dorsett or Prust need a game off during the trip. Secondly: I would have Horvat shooting from the halfwall on the first unit power play like he did on Friday against Carolina Hurricane with 2 goals from the same spot. It seemed that he can score from that spot so why not use Horvat to trigger the shots. It can't hurt to experiment the struggling PP even though they scored in last 5 games except for Friday and today's game. I would have McCann, Vey, Baertschi on the second unit with Hutton. I would like to see Hutton playing on first unit and have Edler on second unit. It can't also hurt to experiment some changes during the road trip.
