Michael Pachla: "Twenty-one games to Christmas"

Firsties

i need to stop obsessing over the defense logjam. its unhealthy. something must be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd

Lazar will be fun to see. He was a firecracker in the preseason. Sucks for Miller. He's been a steady player for them. Scandella has played well too, though. No easy choices there, and it won't get easier with the return of Bogo. We could have Miller and Joker sitting, which will not make fans happy

IF we win nobody will care

Man I feel sorry for Skinner. Sheary and Lazar really? I like what Lazar has brought to Rochester this year but he is a 4th line guy. I would shake things up more:

Joho, Eichel, Vesey
Skinner, Mitts, Rhino
Sheary, Erod, Okposo
Girgs, Larry, Lazar

It won't happen tonight, but Krueger said he's not afraid to use a lineup of 7 defense and 11 forwards.

Coach is considering 7 defensemen on a team that can't score because his GM created a big problem with having to scratch a good player.

I love the excuse of little time to acclimate to Sweden. That's like a football team saying we lost because it was snowing. Im pretty sure it was not 75 and sunny on the other side of the field. Tampa had to over come the same jet lag and acclimation.

Really though. I'd rather have Montour in the forward line up top 9 than erod

(frank) it, Dahlin to 2C. Let's ride

won't hide, but miller to me has been ok at best.. also of note, tweets have Krueger saying he's not afraid to go with 11 forwards and 7 d-men

it wasn't meant to be an excuse...it was simply highlighting the schedule surrounding the global series event

said it yesterday
im going
4 across the blue line park 1 guy in front for tips and rebounds

"4th Line"

Larry - 1g 1a -2, 14 minutes a night - No points in last 8 games

Girgensons - 1g 3a -4, 13 minutes a night - No points in last 8 games

Okposo - 1g 4a even, 11 minutes a night - No points in last 6 games

I think all of these points came in like 2 games. Die by the Blade is so incredibly impressed with them too.

if botts had let girgens and larsson walk
bury okposo in rochester

and had a 4th line of smith, oglevie and lazar


at least we would have something different to complain about and actually have an energy 4th line instead of an overplayed castaways

What about 3 defensemen playing forward and 2 forwards playing defense

Joker-Dahlin-Montour

Eichel-Reinhart

point taken, although the middle-six (again,) or even the top-nine, should be scrutinized more than the fourth line

can kruger call a time out when the team is playing lost and give up 2 goals, instead of letting the team get a 3rd goal in the last minute of a period?

Point of order:

The Mittelstadt line is the 4th line by usage

- Michael Pachla

the 4th line should be an energy line playing 8 minutes a night plus possible pk time though


honestly our 4th line was vesey, casey and sheary

a total misuse of those three guys
