Thread: Lines for Tuesday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>You can't switch D pairings? You have to bench them? Weegar/Andersson, Hanifin/Tanev, Zadorov/Anyone. Stack the top 4 and run them more than the bottom pair. Get back on home ice and use the advantage you have to get Kadri/Coronato/Dube/Ruzicka/Greer/Duehr better matchups, as well as Lindholm and Backlund more starts in the d zone against the other teams top players. Practice the new system more as it's still clunky and new and leads to turnovers, make quicker decisions instead of holding onto the puck a beat too long, quit putting the lines in a blender and let them develop. Chip the puck out of the zone instead of turning it over at the blue line, chip the puck deep as opposed to turning it over in transition at the other teams blue line so on so forth...</div></div>

Thread: Dube 2C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>When is the last time Kadri played the wing? Especially on his off side? We can't just make up positions for these guys and think it's going to work. He Ruzicka and Dube were all defensive black holes last game. Having Dube move to C on a line with a rookie and a guy just regaining his form would cripple that line as well as the Lindholm line, he's not good enough to cover up for Huberdeau and Kadri in their own zone. This line up would have a first line that struggles to keep the puck in the o zone even on the powerplay, a second line that could click but Dube doesn't drive play from the middle and Mangiapane can't cover for both those guys, a third line that would likely be okay with Backlund and Coleman but Ruzicka can't keep a puck low, he lost multiple puck battles below the opposing goal line last game and a 4th line that;s been good enough but they're not going to stir the drink on offence. I think is critical they find a way to get Sharangovich going, maybe that's Backlund Coleman or a shot with Lindholm Mangiapane.</div></div>
