Surprisingly didn?t go for full fun on line 4 with Timashov - Engvall - Petan

Yeah, I wish Keefe didn't have a really good history with the Goat. Better odds that Spezza takes his 4C spot when/if we're healthy though.

And to shelter Engvall and Petan who haven?t had much middle time yet.

I like finally getting Hyman on Tavares? RW with Marner out. There are new levels of offence to Hyman?s game given the opportunity to shield the puck more easily.

Using your 5 best offensive weapons on PP1. What an idea.

Wanted to save space since I knew I'd be adding the second PP unit as well.

Barrie and Rielly on PP1, yep. Johnsson on PK, good (replace GOAT? But still need someone to take faceoffs).

 

[herman]

Also fun: Barrie the Bumper, but instead of bumping he's just ripping howitzers from between the dots.

I read this as PK, so that would've been really fun going 3F1D

HOLY FUCK I"VE BEEN YELLING THAT HYMAN SHOULD PLAY RW FOR THREE YEARS... WHY AM I YELLING STILL?

So they can hear you in Arizona?

Have you not seen my Johnsson - Willy - Hyman lineup pre-Tavares?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I suspect this Hyman move is more temporary to get Soup into the top-6. Not sure how that sticks when Marner gets back. But yeah it'll be interesting to see if Hyman plays any differently.

Oh for sure, when Marner returns I fully expect Hyman to return to the left side and Soup to return to the 3rd line.

Matthews is around 60% so I see no reason why he can't take draws killing penalties.

Maybe not with his finger but I don?t know why Tavares can?t kill penalties

Tavares not killing penalties has always been weird to me. Especially considering how much they need faceoffs guys. IIRC he has experience with it from the Islanders.

Unless Mikheyev and JT go on a tear scoring like crazy. Then Hyman or even Marner may go to the 3rd. What a nice problem that would be to have. Anyway, lets see what happens with Mikheyev first.

 

[lc9]

Very interested to see how the PK responds, and if 33 is removed from his PK role.

getting dangerously close there, my friend....

Agree that both might be better options than Goat, especially Tavares. Goat just seems too slow for the PK, and doesn't win enough faceoffs so he often winds up stuck in the dzone. I might prefer Hyman taking faceoffs over him.

Also always found it strange that "Matthews doesn't want to PK", I'm not sure if he'd be great at it as he isn't as quick as some of the other options but kind of sounds like he doesn't want to be bothered even if it might help the team. Will be interesting to see how Keefe handles him, especially when he has those "float" games. Then again, maybe that won't be much an issue going forward.

 

[Frank E]

If that goddamn Shore is in this lineup again anytime soon, I'll be the first to call for Keefe's head.
