When he line juggles like he does, it looks to me like he's desperate to find something that works. I hope he uses it and leaves them for more then a period or two to get some chemistry going. Playing them for a shift or two together is rather pointless IMO. I think Gaudette should be playing wing to Sutter as well. Take some pressure off of our young guys and let them develop for awhile. Having big bodies who can play along the boards play alongside our young guys should help them get some of their confidence back. I don't want to see TG throw them all out their at once and hope for a miracle. They are not ready for that yet. 3 on 3 or PP maybe but not 5 on 5. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-wing Jake is something a lot of people on CDC have been calling for, for a very long time. I know we're just a bunch of hacks but Jake looks consistently better on his LW, and granted a lot of players do, but I really think Jake's abilities come alive when he's over there. 3 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get people wanting to move Boeser off the 1st line, both Pettersson and Boeser scored last game 5v5, if they want to fiddle with the 2nd line of Bo Leivo and Pearson, then sure, put Jake there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he identifies guys who are playing great and those that are not. Jake, for example, has shown that he deserves a try on the top PP or O/T or shootout, yet he is never afforded the opportunity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of Jake on Bo's LW because I think two things would happen - he creates space for Bo to get to the net for rebounds, and Jake just seems to be able to get to scoring areas better. And its not like they need chemistry with each other to do that, Jake just needs to skate to the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not like they need chemistry with each other to do that, Jake just needs to skate to the net. Jake has shown on a lot of his goals that he can beat the goalie "One on One" when given the opportunity. He can also score off the rush and "power forward" his way to the net. Not to mention his speed. Yet, he is bypassed in many different situations by players such as Leivo and Pearson. Go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the 27th ranked Penalty kill but tend to play a disciplined game. They rank 27 in penalties taken and 30th in penalties drawn. if Vancouver can get Montreal to take a few penalties they stand a good chance of winning. With the refereeing we’ve seen lately .. it’s a crap shoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
