Foligno is not playing no matter what if I'm coaching he's a great leader but did absolutely nothing on the ice yesterday that was positive or in game 1 either, all he did was some checks and try to fit Cousins when the game was 6-2. Wagner can do all of that and gives way more effort
Greer in, Frederic out. Frederic has gotten so many chances on 2 on 1s with hall and just hasn't capitalized, he's also supposed to be there to be physical and he wasn't at all until he was out there in the last 2 minutes trying to get into every scrum. Greer was very good with Coyle in the regular season and can lay the body when called upon. He's a better scorer and playmaker than Frederic, he should be out there. Freddy heated up in the middle of the season but has since slowed down, while Greer has played quite well throughout the whole season.
Bert-Krejci-Pasta don't work idk why but it doesn't put zacha back in between them and hopefully they play like they did in the regular season together and move krejci up to line 1 if bergy is still out because Marchy-Zacha-Debrusk also hasn't worked.
Hathaway hasn't done anything really in my eyes so if bergy's back I think he should be out, but he was better than Freddy and Foligno so he's the 13th F right now
Lindholm-McAvoy, Orlov has played horrible with McAvoy so far and McAvoy has played horrible with him especially game 2, Lindholm also hasn't been great so shake it up
Grez-Carlo, Grez is small and gets knocked off the puck easily, so he isn't great for playoffs but he's still a great player and bringing him back in will help this team out and Carlo was atrocious last night with Lindholm, so but him back with the D partner he's had for most of the last 2 years and let them cook. Plus grez brings in speed that forbort doesn't have there dumbing and chasing around us and forbort can't catch up to the high speed florida is playing at.
Orlov-Clifton, Clifton played good last game, I thought so keep him in but Orlov didn't so shake up the lines and see what these 2 can do together.
The boys left Ullmark out to dry last game, but he also didn't play his vezina self like he did in game 1 to get us the win, so i'm fine with rolling with him or going to swayman I trust them both very much right now to play good and get us that win. When the boys are playing well, and so is Ullmark this team is unstoppable. So if the boys are going to be flying tmr and Ullmark is ready to go give him the nod if not go with swayman, either way it comes down to the players infront of them.
Monty the PP lines look weird making 4 of them, get real PP 1 and a real PP 2 with no crossovers and the boys will be super prepared for PP and we will score on the PP this time.
Also Hall has played amazing and keeps looking for a pass but doesn't have anyone Bert will help him, he needs to shoot more tho on those 2 on 1s every time it's a pass. I would not be mad if monty went Hall-Krejci-Pasta and Zacha-Coyle-Bert because hall has created so many chances just needs someone to pass to, and also HE NEEDS TO SHOOT.
They need to win tmr we can't go down 2-1. WE NEED TO WIN THIS
