Description

We won game 1. That was one of few positives. I think our play style overall was more entertaining. Less dump and chance and more chances to transition. But chemistry wasn' t there. My thoughts below:

Getz Line: Ritchie must go. He’s just never going to pan out. We need an actual top 6 LW. I thought shore looked very good and would honestly play him there if it weren’t for his solid chemistry with Grant. I want to give Comtois that roster spot. He deserves it.
Kase looked sloppy overall. Bad passing, bad puck possession, and not a threat. I thought Terry looked poised and made some smart plays overall. Being in top 6 situations will make him that much better.

Swede Line: I think it would have been better if Steel wasnt shaky. He did just come back from a few games off and didn't get much practice in before then. I expect this line to improve in a game or two. Rakell and Silf are still fun to watch together.

Henrique Line: There wasn't a large impression here, I think Henrique himself is always pretty consistent. Not the most offensive threat, but rarely a liability. I still love Jones and want to see him do more. I think he has way more potential than he is give credit. And his chemistry from Terry stems directly from their great friendship. Reminds of some of our great duos from the past.

Elite 1 Grant Line: Nothing but positives here honestly. There's a reason this line got more TOI than getz line. Grant and Shore seemed to connect on more clean entry passes than any other players. I think maybe they are less damaged from Carlyles system having spent less time under it. They seem to get Eakins message.

I thought everyone not name Holzer played pretty solid D. I was very happy with Fowlers poise and offensive play. Lindholm and Manson were solid and shut down most threats. I think Larsson and Guhle each had decent games, respective of their pairings. I really hoped Holzer would be the guy. He wasnt. MDZ time for now.

If you watched preseason, you'd understand why we wont. Give him a dozen AHL games before then.

Agreed. Haki needs time to adjust the the north american rink. SD is where he needs to be for now, but I hope we get to see him again later in the season

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the game. In terms of the suggested changes, my view is that it is just 1 game and we should give it at least 10 games before we start making any rash decisions. Everyone looked a little sloppy and some guys are coming off injuries (Kase/Steel). Even Getzlaf didn't look all that great.

With that said, if we are making changes, I wouldn't mind seeing Lundestrom come up. Maybe we try moving Henrique to the wing, where he is supposed to be better. I just thought the Swede line was pretty good during preseason. Just a thought:

Comtois - Getzlaf - Kase
Rakell - Lundestrom - Silfverberg
Henrique - Steel - Terry
Shore - Grant - Rowney

I really like this idea. My only thought is that if you switch Terry and Kase, you would (theoretically) have two guys on each line who are experienced at taking draws. But maybe that's over-rated.

I think I agree a bit with what OldNYIfan said, since we have a large amount Hybrid Center/Wingers.
Your bottom 6, in theory, has 6 players who can or have played Center. Also Henrique is a much better Center than Steel. Steels FO% so far has been just terrible.

From Saturdays game I REALLY liked the Shore/Getz/Kase line. I didn't think I would but the line was dominant.
I also feel like Lundestrom just fits slightly more with the Swede line. He clicked just a little better.
I honestly think this team could see a lot of tweaks over the next few games because they are just having fun trying new things. It's great to watch.
