Agreed, Gaunce plays like a robot, I gotta question his hockey IQ.

 

Virtanen needs more looks with other linemates as the season progresses, now is the time with Louie back in the mix!

I would however like to see one minor change with the lines:

Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser
Virtanen - Sutter - Dorsett
Eriksson - Gagner - Vanek
Sedin - Sedin - Granlund

Virtanen has the wheels, tenacity and hitting ability to make opposing top lines miserable, and a 1-2 punch of Virtanen and Dorsett would make that line almost feared to be up against. Granlund back with the Sedins spreads around more offensive talent.

Excellent bruh!

 

Virtanen with Dorsett has me drooling. Granlund seems to be the best fit as a linemate for the Sedins from what I recall from last year.

Gaunce plays tentative, could be hockey IQ could be lack of confidence.
