IGT 10/27: Kings at Blackhawks (back home!)

[MassHavoc]

The Kings are just as shit as the Hawks, hard to believe it wasnt that long ago when these 2 teams were the cream of the crop.

What happen to all the other great posters that came over with you? Was looking forward to new blood.

Look Jeremy, you leave Cat and Strome together and look what happens. For christs sakes, were they both put on the fourth line?

I think you should start every game with the
Cat-Strome-Kane
Saad-Kampf-Kubalik

Basically...you take the ice like this and see what your opponents do to counter. Make them play us at our strength. We know we can form two shut down lines. These 2 should be our offensive display. A top skill line, and a counter with speed line. Basically we begin each game....what do you have to answer this?

If you don't like the answer they have...then have a 2A look.

Dach/Nylander-Toews-Shaw/Nylander/Jewels gives you some match-up flavor in each game and rests the guys learning or small.

Carp makes about any 4th line easy. but a solid rotation on the wings will keep your boys willing to get rough.

I am pleased with Seabrook and Maata and we need their physicality going forward. Right now I think our biggest problems are roster talent, depth, prospects, favorable contracts, age, size, and speed mixed in with pushing too hard for early success while mixing in lost youth and trying to raise your voice as a coach when you have no clout.

JC needs to stay the smartest guy in the room and work through problems calmly. I fear his getting pressured and angry is going to spiral quickly.

I agree completely about the back-to-back...we don't need to see Seabrook in that position or risk his injury. Let him rest a 3 in 4 back to back game. Its just smart all around.
