Think Clarky, maybe nicked up some...

Seems like he has been in a funk ever since he banged up his wrist. Who knows.

Welll he seems to be getting the same chances he was, its just not going in

[Marshall]

Well...a W. I'll take it.

Agreed regarding Volchenkov.

Yup, he's been solid, he's not a great skater now but when he stays ahead of the play, acts fearless and nasty, and has strong quick hands , he's an asset not a liability

 

bernier is fearless too, the two fatso's behind the net constantly drilled him into the boards as he attempted his cycling.

 

kovys legs looked tired

 

moose was as good as were going to get from him. which is enough if he keeps that up

 

hey greenie, next time pressure kane with a diving slide

 

Deboer still has these guys skating hard, theres no quit or disbelief

 

ok zubrus the vacation is over, get your butt on the ice!!!

btw, larsson bounced back nicely, way quicker mentally
 

Agreed regarding Volchenkov.

I agree to with volchenkov!

I love how the soviet union (Lokti Kovy Poni) play together as well

Thought henrique looked a little slow last night. Didn't have that extra gear. Wonder if he's a little banged up

I noticed henrique getting caught on longer shifts all night, coincidently there were a few times where he could have created an odd man rush for the devs and was too gassed to execute. Don't think he's injured. On another note with henrique, he changed the curve in his stick this year and he seems to be having trouble hitting the net. All his shots are going high and he's shooting above the net 4-5 times last night.

Unfortunately a lot of guys are going to be banged up, and we can't really rest them.

I think we are still lacking a shutdown line. I can definitely see Deboer putting a 8-19-18 line together when Zubrus is healthy. That would seem like a great checking line.

 

Elias Loktionov Kovalchuk

Zubrus Zajac Bernier

Ponikarovsky Henrique Clarkson

Carter Gionta/Josefson Kostopolus

Why are you wasting Henrique? I think Henrique needs to be on a line with someone with some vision!

Gotta spread the wealth!

 

That Poni Henrique Clarkson line was very strong at the end of the year and into the playoffs.

I'd rather keep Henrique and Elias together.

 

Kovy Loki Zubs

Elias Henrique Clarkson

Carter Zajac Poni

Matteau/Kostopoulos Gio Bernier

i second this

[njd3b1ink]

In terms of offense the best thing to do would be if Lou could get a 2nd/ 3rd liner by the deadline. Lines could be
Zubrus-Zajac-kovy
Elias-henrique-clarkson
???-Loktionov-Poni
CBGB
We would have 4 deep lines again.

[caron14]

Hemsky?

[Zubie#8]

Hemsky?

Not surprisingly he is hurt again.

 

EDIT: nvm it was a one game injury.

TSN analysts speculated about Gagner at the trade deadline yesterday. Jersey was the first candidate mentioned by McKenzie.

Do you think we have the assets to get him? He is going to be a 60-70 perennial point player and Edm is going to command a lot.

He's a definite 1st line center, I would give a lot in return.

He's UFA next year.  I don't think they will trade him, and McKenzie is the kind of guy who has no idea that Kovalchuk is playing RW for NJ.
