Too many weapons, such a good problem to have.

But yeah, Kadri and Nylander on PP2 and 3rd line together would be pretty special. Nylander likes to shoot though, so him and Kadri would need to learn to share.

I understand the feeling.

We had to debate in the Habs thread if we were better off using Andrew Shaw or Lehkonen on our 2nd powerplay wave.

SO MANY OPTIONS YOU KNOW.

Nylander has a pretty sweet sausage pass too though

Winning in Dallas that way is indeed impressive, i'm already looking forward to your game in Washington (after the Detroit-one).

Like a) leave after the 1st period; or
b) dump your tickets on Ticketmaster at a loss.

I'm at a wedding Saturday night for an old hockey buddy (unlike 99% of most relationships, our hockey team brought them together instead of breaking them up).

Ceremony starts at 5 pm.

Things had better be wrapped up by Coach's Corner, or there will be buns thrown.

I said it last night. Put nylander with Tavares. They would probably have good chemistry as well and nylander shoots a little more. Then marner with kadri.

Tavares is a shooter, Marner is a pass-first guy, so they're perfect together.

I want to see Johnsson Kadri Nylander on the 3rd line absolutely ground-pounding bottom 6 lines around the league.

Knowing that feeling too well.

Guess with that current offense Willy's price-tag is dropping a little, seeing he is more a good addition than a highly needed key.

Just wanted to point out that on the Tavares goal where he tapped in the cross-crease pass, Matthews was standing right behind him - so if Tavares had let the puck go, Matthews would have had an easy tap in for a hat trick.

What more do you people need to see before you acknowledge the dressing room is split?

Tavares' family roots go back to the Iberian Peninsula.

Matthews' mother is Mexican.

Maybe you don't remember that the Spaniards and Portuguese brutally enslaved and murdered the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica in their blood-thirsty conquest of the new world.

But let me assure you, my wing-scarfing friend:

Matthews remembers.

Things we know that work

Mitch with JT and
Willie and Matthews

Make both those lines unbeatable. Nobody can structure matchups that work. I’d be ok moving Kap and/or Marleau onto Kadri’s line.

Ya, I know those lines work, but I’m concerened kadri doesn’t have enough offensive minded players on his line. I just don’t want his talent get wasted.

Considering it's well documented that Marner was one of the key pieces in the pitch to Tavares, "check out this video of Marner, you could be playing with him!", I think it'd be kinda poopty to break up JT and Mitch.

Kappy looks pretty damn good in Nylander's spot on Matthews' wing. If Willy gets signed and Kapanen can keep up what he's doing, put Willy on Kadri's line.
