Tonights line up, but lines are wrong

Post by Harry S Deals »

Tonights line up:

Neighbours - Thomas - Kyrou
Buchnevich - Schenn - Snuggerud
Stenberg - Dvorsky - Berggren
Toropchenko - Sundqvist - Walker

Broberg - Parayko
Tucker - Faulk
Fowler - Mailloux

Hofer

However, should read based on actual performance

Stenberg - Dvorsky - Berggren
Neighbours - Thomas - Kyrou
Buchnevich - Schenn - Snuggerud
Toropchenko - Sundqvist - Walker

Broberg - Parayko
Tucker - Faulk
Fowler - Mailloux

I would like to see the revised lineup play. It would be very interesting, and maybe a lot of fun, to watch.

In addition to his mixer Monty changes the playing time in-game so the first line, second line, etc. doesn't mean much. I like the idea of switching things mid game but I don't know that it does a lot of good sometimes.

How many times do they need to see Thomas and kyrou play together before they realize they have zero chemistry?

If you’re gonna try it, then put the original 3 all back together and give them ONE last chance before pulling the trigger on a major move.

Stenberg - Dvorsky - Berggren
Neighbours - Schenn - Snuggs
Buch - Thomas - Kyrou ($24.26m needs to produce!)
Toropchenko - Sundqvist - Walker (JOSEPH)

Good call. not only needs to produce, but should be able to.

At the very least we consolidate so the rest of the lines are unaffected :lol:

I’ve been enjoying the solid play, and chemistry of the Swedish-speaking line as much as anyone.
First line matchups would add a greater challenge, that’s for sure.

They said he does on one of the recent broadcasts. I can’t remember the reference on why, but apparently he does.

He lived and played in Sweden from the age of 9.


"Yes, NHL prospect Dalibor Dvorský learned to speak Swedish fluently after moving to Sweden from Slovakia at a young age.
He became fluent in the language from living there for many years, even being described as practically a "good Swedish citizen" by his general manager. Dvorský also speaks his native Slovak and English, making him a polyglot who speaks four languages in total. "

A smart dude. And English without much of an accent.

If you were trying to trade Thomas, would you want the trading partners to see Thomas demoted?

Not saying that that is what is going on here, but.... the lines we are seeing may be influenced by other things, not just production.
