Thread: Lines on Friday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NJDevils1317</b></div><div>I agree heavily on Holtz. He's setup to fail on that 4th line. He doesn't play anything like the other two. I too would much rather see Zetterlund on the 4th line and Holtz on the 1st and let him either prove to be a thing or a bust, but don't just walk him into being a bust by expecting a big time shooter to be a two-way guy on a counter attack fourth line...

As much as I did not like Zacha, the 3C spot is the most crucial to me to become a deeper group and get that line going (that being if you consider any McLeod line the 4th). I just am not confident in Haula enough to be satisfied, but I don't know if Mercer is a 3C as much as love his grind. We have been relying on Boqvist there and it's be disappointing UNTIL last night.</div></div>

Exactly right with boqvist the point is we need a 3rd line center who can be consistent last night was the only night so far I thought boqvist was good. He needs to be replaced. I feel like Zetterlund can produce when he is given more time and I feel like that top line of Zetterlund Hischier and Tatar was good but I would have Zetterlund on either the 3rd or 1st line when Bastian is back and take boqvist and holtz out.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devsfan25</b></div><div>I don’t like both Haula and Tatar with Jack</div></div>

Completely agree, I feel like one of their biggest problems is ruff is always mixing the lines even after they find good chemistry. You see good teams and they all have been playing with each other for a long time they know where their linemates are gonna be the devils need tha and don’t get it with ruff. I like tatar with Hischier I think they mixed well and I didn’t mind haula with Hughes cause his defensive game is good and he takes the faceoffs for him which makes it so that Hughes line can win facesoffs but when guys are back from injury I don’t understand why Ruff favors boqvist over Zetterlund because Zetterlund has been much better and boqvist hasn’t even been that good defensively he is not good enough to be in the lineup

Thread: We are in a bad spot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>While I agree with most of what you said in the description, I slightly disagree with the following:

1) While I wouldn't hate Kuzy and Ovi being together (which would hopefully get Kuzy going), the Ovi-Strome-Sheary line was BY FAR the best line last night. Finally, it might seem they are starting to get some chemistry. I'd let them rock for another night.
2) I think the 2nd line is where the Caps need to switch things up. McM is clearly not ready (or trusted) enough to play decent minutes. I'd give Snively-Kuzy-MoJo a shot. That would be a very fast, smooth-skating line.
3) Jensen and Orlov looked great last night so totally agree with that. BUT, now this is knit-picky, while I would also link Carlson and Feh back together (becasue there is no other option), in no means have they been "good" this season. I think they have been the worst d-pairing, by far.

As far as Milano, I have not heard anything about a call-up, but if I am the Caps, I am sending McM down and bringing Milano up. Yes, Milano doesn't play a lick of defense, but neither does McM. At least Milano has some offensive finish.</div></div>

Yeah I just feel like with all the injuries my biggest thing is I want them to bring Snively in and give him significant time cause he fast and he puts up offense. They really need more speed. I get your point about Ovi and Kuzy too

No I think the goalies are fine and people blame the goalies cause the whole team sucks. I have always thought the coaching and the system was the Maine problem as they just weren’t putting all the pieces together and utilizing all their skill but now they are and they have been good.
