Nuxfanabroad Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't play Ferland. At least save it a rd, until a possible PO-spot. If Van doesn't have a long 2020 run in them, it's a chance for this bloke to get(perhaps?) a full calendar yr of rest for his noggin. JTM - EP - TT TP - Bo - BB Roussel - Gaudette - Shotgun Jake Motte - Beags - BigMac/Sutter I hope Leivo can get back in full health..great on the boards.

Outsiders Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Miller-Pettersson-Toffoli Pearson-Horvat-Boeser Ferland-Gaudette-Virtanen Motte-Beagle-Sutter *Put Sutter over Mac and Roussel because of PK. Also if Gaudette is getting killed at centre they can make adjustments mid game and shift Gaud to wing. If Gaud plays well and doesn't look like he needs to be sheltered we can rotate Roussel and Mac to play physical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Boeser is going to be the wild card of this series. Always comes up big against his home town, I wonder if it's worthwhilr having him on the top line and reuniting Toffoli and Pearson? I think the top line spot is Toffoli's to lose but it's going to be the first swap Green should make if things aren't going well to start. Our bottom 6 is a mixed bag really and depends on who comes to training camp more amped, physically ready and mentally prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Toffoli was with Petey and Millsy, Boeser is an ill fit on the match up Horvat line IMO. Miller, Pettersson, Boeser Pearson, Horvat, Toffoli Gaudette, Sutter, Virtanen Roussel, Beagle, Motte Leivo to sub in the middle 6 if there's injuries, MacEwan on the 4th. This would be my ideal line up as well, as long as 1st line don't get over run... Expect there to be some swapping between BB and Toffoli, but that 2nd line is top notch showdown and counter... Don't expect to see anyone but Sutter and Beagle at centre on the 2 bottom lines, barring injuries. Love Gaudette but don't see Green not playing Sutter at centre, if he is injury free... Add Ferland as sub, if more physicality is needed. If Ferland is fully recovered and up to the task, Green may even have him in for Gaudette or on the 4th line in one of the games for his hitting....

Experience always trumps inexperience come playoff time. I see Sutter, Beagle and Leivo all getting into the lineup ahead of Gaudette. He and MacEwen will be the top forward subs. And Motte will be ahead of them if Ferland is ready to get in there and take his place. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestNuck Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) It’s line depth that wins championships. I’d like to see three scoring lines and a fourth that can take care of the defensive side. Miller - Pettersson - Virtanen Leivo/Ferland - Horvat - Boeser Pearson - Gaudette - Toffoli Ferland/Motte - Beagle - Sutter should be our forward lines. Virtanen has shown chemistry with that top line and looks up to Miller. Boeser and Horvat together again. And Pearson reuniting with Toffoli on the third. Wave after wave of attack.

I think it's the most balanced lineup we can ice this year. I might swap Roussel and Ferland if Ferland can show he's symptom free. He seems to be one who's honest about how he feels and can be trusted to give an accurate assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think we should reunite Toffoli and Pearson, and put them on Horvat's wings. The 70's line, which Toffoli and Pearson made 2/3rds of, was largely responsible for the Kings' cups. Boeser can play on the first line, like he did for much of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I pushed some buttons - but maybe you pushed mine by making a suggestion that hockey won’t ever be the same because of a virus. We will get through this - yes we all know some won’t and some will get very sick. But let’s keep that stuff on the off-topic forum that’s passing Burrows thread in posts and views ok? This thread is about making your lineup for the proposed game to MIN. It’s a hockey site right? It’s been grating on me for a couple of weeks and I sincerely apologize to you or anyone else I may have insulted. I love hockey - it’s my favourite pass-time and I sure you do too. So peace bro. Bury the hatchet we both get byes on this one because yeah - it’s a pandemic and stupid stuff was said. Hockey should be hockey - it goes without saying covid has affected it. But from where I’m sitting I find it incredibly annoying how the majority of the topics continue to get wrapped into it. That’s why we have the off-topic thread and wow is it getting all the attention. Edit: BTW I live in a region of ONT that was hit harder then the entire province of BC. And have family in Montreal. I don’t feel compelled to share my fears about it on this site or to talk about who’s dying or who’s sick. Yes it’s scary. But do the math - the Spanish Flu killed way more percentage of the population then this ever will - even if we all get it. And humanity kept going and sports didn’t change after that (including hockey). U And it’s nothing like the black plague which killed 50% of mankind at one point - or the plague in the 1700’s either. Sure we all know this is serious - and I’d be very sad to lose any of the regular posters on this site as a result. Could be me in a few months or you. Or someone else. Maybe somebody already (where the heck is Alf?). Peace bro. Edited May 27, 2020 by IBatch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think a lot of people undervalue Tyler Motte. He's like an engine that doesn't stop. And while I'd love to 4 beastly scoring lines we need penalty killers and good defensive zone players. This is going to be tough, I'm glad I don't have to make any roster decisions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter is criminally underrated around here. He plays the type of game that is going to be huge in the playoffs, where your PK can easily win or lose a series for you. He would be in before MacEwan for sure, Motte would be too at the start. I see us having enough depth that you would see guys like Motte, Ferland, MacEwan swap in and out of the lineup regularly. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ferland has a long way back to playing so my guess is he sits to start. He's only played a handful of games and probably needs a lot more conditioning than some of the others. But if they advance or we need some toughness inserted we'll see him against Minny.
