I think its tougher to start when they don't have a natural center there to take draws. By default my mind says maybe Pearson and maybe Boeser (as he did often for UND in college). 

 

Would be nice if they moved a center to that unit like Bo or Miller. 

That’s true I never thought of that part. I guess a couple try’s and switch to PP2 give them an actual full minute to play with it. As opposed to getting on the ice when the guys about to exit the box which seems to be the case everytime

I'm no good with lineups before they are announced.  Instead, I will just go with my favourite fan created season opener pump up video.  This one comes from the 2010-11 season, which was pretty much the greatest season in team history.

 

Enjoy.

 

 

 

Thanks for posting video@goalie13 Miss Rypien and man that hit on Toews... Gold.

Please don’t let the Kraken fans put us to shame tomorrow night. Whoever is going to be in attendance I hope you lose your voice by the end of the game. Do not disappoint me

This is why it crucial to get wins when your best players are in the lineup

he still seems OK in front of the net.... I'm looking for positives here.

 

We do kind of have a 1A/1B PP setup tho with OEL and Hughes on two different units.

It’s the only place I like him tbh. 5 on 5 I’d prefer to see other players. My personal opinion of course

Me too.   That said i'm not terribly worried about it either.    Feel with time things will settle down.    I'd really like TG to keep them guessing though and throw out the second unit to start more often and not just because the Lotto line was just on the ice.    It's not a sprint to the finish line, it's a marathon.   Right now it's possible we have the best top 9 in the division, use it.   Vegas is down some guys ... good time to gain some buffer points.    Aside from Buffalo our 5 x 5 play is better then it has been in years ... if we can add our special teams to that then good things will happen.   Special teams were the difference for us last game, so maybe it's something to work on.

What a response.  Those crapping all over Pettersson right now will be eating their words when he starts playing like everyone else knows he can.  He does not seem like the sign a big contract then mail it in kind of player.
