So, who does AV sit down now that Booth has been medically cleared to play?

Booth


Kassian needs to watch a game or two, because if he's not a beast, he's pretty useless.
I would have though Wiese would be the odd man out (at least Volpatti hits people), but then he was the one to get moved up to the 2nd line???


my final answer is Weise.

I think its line blender time

I dont think kassian needs to sit ... i think kesler made him invisible ... i think you send a message to kassian to be more aggressive physically by putting him on the a 4th line to start and mix him in some shifts with the top 2 lines and on second unit pp

I want to see if Schroeder can find any chemistry with Kesler (kesler playing on a wing) but Id hate to see that speed line tinkered with

but yes ... Weise should sit ... especially when they play the more skilled/less physical teams

Ebbett on waivers ... Booth in during the road trip

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Flames snapped Ebbett up.

I do like Kesler's trigger happy position in the left circle on the powerplay though.
once teams cheat to take that away, it'll open up the middle a bit more.

Too bad, obviously the Flames don't need help up front (nice doughnut they put up in Glendale last night).

Canucks with a chance to be the first team to hand the Hawks a regulation loss tonight (Flames should have done it, but in classic choking fashion allowed a Chicago goal with two seconds left).

Kassian with Schroeder and Higgins. Kesler with Hansen and Raymond. #Canucks

Jason Botchford ‏@botchford
Looks like Booth in, and on 4th line, Volpatti or Weise would be out

 

[mattola]

so Schneider played a fantastic game last night. Luongo to start on Thursday?

sounded like that was the plan going into yesterdays game ... alternating starts

if that changed





/i see panthers called up markstrom ... his time to shine? (... or fail?)

Dreger was talking Panthers last night and Tallon blowing up the team - Stephen Weiss anyone?

New D pairings in today's practice

Hamhuis - Bieksa
Edler - Tanev
Ballard - Garrison

That's $8.8 million on our 3rd D pairing. We'll just call it the doghouse pair.
