Quoting: Sportnilsson
Thank you! Well, living in Europe, I still might not watch as much as I would like. Weekdays are obviously impossible, unless holiday in the US and watching a matinee game. I try to watch Capitals once either Friday or Saturday night and then matinee games on Saturday and Sunday, whatever teams there may be.
I love outside looks, thanks for trying
Palat = Top6 all the time, you can bet your house on it, unless he is injured...
I'm from europe too and all of the matches you can watch them later on the internet, no need to watch it live, if u busy or sleeping
I'm planning this year 164 matches minimum on regular season
I see you root for the
, that's the team i'm only scared in the playoffs from the East, if we meet again... i feel like we lose again...rip
Anyways, so we have chemistry like:
Johnson-Point-Kuch synergy
x-Stamkos-Kuch synergy
Palat-Stamkos-Gourde synergy
triplets line (Palat-TJ-Kuch)
Killorn-Cirelli-Joseph synergy
Defense chemistry:
McD-Cernak
Currently i'm only sure about Vasi+McEl goalie duo. Hedman + McD top 2 LD...
I have a feeling though: Witkowski is not a scratch and not in the lineup. Same feelings for Martel...
I would really like to see Alex Barré-Boulet make the rooster, for me from reports it looks like he is like Jack Hughes/Brayden Point 2.0 PogChamp
And also seems like Kucherov coaching Volkov to make the rooster for real this time. Or someone will beat him again at camp + preseason that would mean a trade for PoolParty as i heard
are interested in Volkov...
I'm not even sure anymore, if Verhaeghe makes the lineup, and then we didn't talk about Raddysh,Katchouk,Stephens or Cal Foote...
Basically our best prospects are around the same level most of them, so same problem with the lineups, as with predicting the lines, who plays and who doesn't... we have no idea...yet...
So it's hard, but i show you a possible one from the lots of combinations(this is most likely based on last year):
--------LW-------C--------RW--------
1st:Johnson-Point-Kucherov
2nd:Palat-Stamkos-Gourde
3rd:Killorn-Cirelli-Joseph
4th:Maroon-Paquette-Volkov
or if Verh.,Stephens makes the lineup, then 4th line:
4th:Paquette-Verhaeghe/Stephens-Maroon
Defense:
1st:Hedman-Sergachev
2nd:McDonagh-Cernak
3rd:Coburn-Shattenkirk
Here the interesting thing is, where we play Shatty - so you can move him down or up the D, depends on his health and performance. In preseason we will see, i hope he is real good
For now i excpect he plays with Coburn.
Your Hedman-Cernak Top pairing D would be really fun = my dream scenario, with Serg moved to left D, so like rotation with LD Coburn/ RD Schenn all year for any D when somebody needs to rest:
1st:Hedman-Cernak
2nd:McDonagh-Shattenkirk
3rd:Sergachev-Schenn
If we are confident Serg will be forever RD(and Shattenkirk = never again in old top form), then maybe this:
1st:Hedman-Cernak
2nd:McDonagh-Shattenkirk
3rd:Coburn-Sergachev
Nonetheless, the Hed,Shatt,Serg triple QB combo to drive offense looks amazing for points totals on all 3 D lines. Much better than last year, with like Grandpa Girardi ...and Mr. 5.5 mill $ Injured Stralman.
Goalies:
Vasilevskiy(under 50 games)-McElhinney(over 30 games)
Scratches:
Schenn-Rutta-(Foote)
Verh-Volkov-Stephens
Foote showed lots of imporovement, i heard, so i expect him to play couple of games at least on the D. I don't think we can hit the jackpot 2 years in a row, like with Cernak... but u never know ofc...
Anyways, all lines looking good for now(and if we add Kreider maybe at trade deadline or similar style player). That would be huge for the playoffs...
The waiting is over soon, only 10 days until
hockey!
