Huby and Kadri? Come on.

I think Huska is going to be fine, but he needs to stop ####ing with the lines like this. Guys need time to gel.

And Backlund is your guy to use to prop up guys that are struggling. Coronato needs to be on that line. The other two can also go to other lines to get them going.

I really hate how fast reporters are to tell us a guy is hurt or they think he's hurt. Give it a few minutes.

I'm kinda shocked Ruzicka is ok. I thought his shoulder was done or that he might have broken something in his arm based on how he was struggling to get up and skate off.

I really don't get why they won't at least try going back to the lines from game 2-5.

Just call up Zary and let Ruzicka heal.

Ruzicka–Lindholm–Dube
Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman
Huberdeau-Kadri-Coronato
Greer-Sharangovich-Duehr

Don't mind these lines, just switch Kadri and Sharagovich. I wish he would put the blender away and let them gain some familiarity with each other, but Huberdeau-Kadri is a nightmare that should be outlawed.

They actually looked okay. But they were changed immediately.

Kadri and Huberdoll together is a receipt for disaster. What are their minuses together?

No nothing.

What's he supposed to do without a Lucic.

Maybe he wants to isolate them and reduce their minutes.

I get the blender, particularly after last night. He's trying to find something that works for his top players - who appear lifeless at the moment. If the Backlund and Sharangovich lines are our best lines, then the season will be done before game 20.


It's not like Huberdeau, Kadri and Lindholm didn't play together on the power play all last year. How unfamiliar could they be with each other by now? Lindholm and Huberdeau played together all preseason and the start of the season with very little to show for it, at least IMO. The defensive issues aside there was very little offensive production despite the metrics being alright.



At least Kadri had some jump last night, so maybe he can drag Huberdeau forward. I was being patient with him after last season, but he's quickly losing me.

Maybe it's just so they can be benched together without messing up the other lines.

I don't love those lines but I think the problem is that there aren't any lines, at least with the top 6 that make any sense. We have a bad combination of lack of talent and a terrible fit with the guys we have.

Dueher-Sharaganov-Greer (although Shrarganov isn't ideal at C) has worked as a 4th line
Mang (or Dube)-Backlund-Coleman works well as a 3rd line.

I don't see any combination of Hubredeau-Kadri-Lindholm-Coronato-Ruziskca-Dube/Mang that makes sense even to create 1 line let alone 2.

I hope Huska is bagskating the #### out of those guys today after that disgusting effort last night. They deserve it.

Yup. This doesn't need line juggling, it needs bag-skating and popcorn munching.
