Parise-Elias-Sykora line

[DevilishWon]

Looking awesome, it's hard to believe Patrik hasn't been playing center his whole life when you see him out there

 

[CalamityX11]

ESP line from now on....

 

[devs30rko]

really liking it.

if they keep playing like this they're going to make deboers job really hard once zajac comes back haha.

basically they've only made one mistake all year so far and that was the bad change on the first goal tonight. i think we'll live.

 

[MCDevils]

JJ's the one I'm going to feel bad for. He's going to end up sliding down.

 

[CalamityX11]

Yeah JJ will... but he has plenty of time to merrit his stance/role with the team...

I kind of want Teds with Kovy & Pal anyways...

No center on that line

 

[devs30rko]

You'd have to move Palmieri then

 

[CalamityX11]

No center on that line

Ah true... Maybe switch it up for Pal? Or keep it Kovy & JJ with Teds?

That's the line I want to see. Then have Zubrus, Clarkson, Nick P on a line. Those lines sound a lot better.

 

[MadCaptain]

why not Keep ESP and bring Zajac to the other #1 line to make Kovalchuk/Zajac/Zubrus again.

Elias works great as a center but Zubrus does not. Get him off center and JJ in his place

Disagree with both of you...you'll have 1 line with nobody to drive the net and 1 line that can ONLy do that....

Oh yeah? Well shut up.

 

[DevilishWon]

lol...well said!

 

[MCDevils]

I definitely want to leave Palmieri where he is. Tedenby is still getting pretty big minutes on the line with Zubrus and Clarkson. They've shown good ability so far and despite what everyone's saying I think they play similar styles when they're in the zone. Clarkson and Zubrus use size an strength to hold onto the puck whereas Teds uses his speed, but it's the same end result. Puck possession and cycling which is fine.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

My point isn't so much a knock on Zubrus and Clarkson. I feel Tedenby's skill set is not being fully utilized on that line. I want to maximize potential, and I think Tedenby and Kovy could both benefit from playing with one another.

 

[CalamityX11]

Oh yeah? Well shut up.

LOL

that's worth my 1,800th!

Again, I don't see Teds hooking up with Zubs and Clarkson as well as it could be.... plenty of season to prove me wrong obviously but it's a line that I would first start changing if adjustments are needed in the season.
