Horsman1 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 if we have gaudreau/monahan/lindstrom/ tkachuk. backlund magiapane as our top 6 forwards.. they are all offensive minded players .. that leaves czarnick in a bottom 6 role with the likes of bennett/ryan/lucic/jankowski/frolik . .. none of those top six players belong on the fourth line .. even if we go three offensive lines will czarnick get playng time.. to show what kind of talent he has.. bennett/Jankowski/czarnick /// lucic/ryanf/rolik who plays on the fourth line?? .

Getting Bennett used to playing with them is crucial. He looked steady last night, but it was also his best game. For me it's a toss up whether Rieder with Lucic and Janko is better than Czarnik. Both get chances. Rieder is better defensively. Czarnik has better and a higher volume of shots. Czarnik just looks a bit off speed compared to the others. Bennett looked great with Lucic, I’d make them the 4th pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason that came about was the injury to Mangiapane. Prior to that Bennett played really well with Mange and Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see them together for a few games to see if it was a fluke or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac70 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 In theme with the thread, who on this roster has been dragging this club into battle this year? Chucky did last year now got his large salary and has been invisibile most nights, with the exception of the 1st LA game. Last nights LA game they looked hung over or totally disinterested which seems to be the constant this year once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Actually I saw that he had 1 goal 2 assists. That’s some production from the bottom 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been too much talk about Tkachuk in LA games. We have vets and they need to bring the team into the fight. Gio, Monahan, Backlund, Ryan, Hamonic, Lucic... We are seeing moments of that from ach of those player. Why do they not show up when we get down? Start with a shift where you are giving 100%. Show the other lines and pairs you care. We have seen them do it, so it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't running around stirring it up I always assumed he was playing through an injury. I think it was a general shrug from the masses that we lost him. The Caps are a much better team than us. Now their fanbase is saying, "this is exactly the kind of player we needed". Listening to the Caps reporter on NHL radio, he was saying the fans love his game and don't be surprised to start seeing Hathaway jerseys in the stands. Good on him.

There needs to be a balance of guys willing to drag you into the trenches. We had two like that last year. Now just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we are not paying Hathaway $1.5 x 4-years. That's too much. I believe Quine has been called up? I also liked Gawdin from pre-season. We need to inject some of this youth into our bottom 6. Say goodbye to Czarnik. Jankowski is vanilla as they come. Frolik is a shadow of his former self. Just lost that jump and first stride. These 3 need to go.

Frolik doesn;t look good unless Backs and Tkachuk look good, which has been limited. Janko's game has tailed off into nothing. Maybe he needs 13 minutes to do something. Maybe he needs players that have hockey sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 This team looks like a team that is overlooking the regular season and just wants to skip ahead to the playoffs. That's how you end up outside the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac70 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Better effort last night against the Ducks. Still need to clean some Satoshi Nakamoto up but at least there was an effort. I thought Talbot looked rock solid in net, should add some confidence moving forward for sure. Have another tough one against the Caps, lets hope we disallow this many quality chances, pretty sure they find the twine. Was nice to see some nastiness from Monahan as well.
