kinot-2 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 TONITE WE WELCOME THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS TO THE BELL. 7:30 PM ET Columbus @ Montreal SN2, RDS, FS-O THE COLUMBUS CANNON ONLY WENT OFF ONCE LAST NIGHT, AS THEY WERE THRASHED 5-1 BY TAMPA BAY IN COLUMBUS. THEY WILL BE ANGRY, TORTS WILL BE MAD, THEY WILL HAVE THE KILLER INSTINCT. SO, HERE WE ARE, WITH THE HABS HANGING ON BY TENDERHOOKS TO THE LAST WILD CARD SPOT. NOW, TSN IS REPORTING THAT DANAULT WILL NOT PLAY AS HE HAS A FAMILY MATTER, (THEY ALSO SAID THAT HIS WIFE IS EXPECTING). TSN ALSO SAID THAT BYRON WILL NOT PLAY, BUT IS SKATING. THOMPSON WILL FILL DANAULT'S SPOT BETWEEN TATAR AND GALLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugg You know, i really do like CJ but some of his moves make me Danault out = the perfect opportunity to move JK up to the top line. I really would love to see what JK can do with skilled wingers. BW, when did Tatar get reunited with Gally? Wouldnt it be Thompson in between Drouin & Gally or have they put Drouin - Domi - Shaw back together?

So, not sure what the lines are now. Names in the hat? Yikes. They arent quite "Therrible" - mostly because we have a lot of good quality depth forwards - but thats a lof of changes. There's some things I like there (Would definitely try Domi/Drouin again, I like the idea of Shat + JK, Im glad Hudon and Peca are both in & DLo is out) but there's some others (Armia on the top line? Thompson in the top 6? Byron + JK does not work, imho. ) that Im not crazy about. BTW, where is Lehkonen? Therapy day or? Maybe Byron taking Lehks' spot knowing he wont play tonight.

HabsAlways Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Stu Cowan reports them as : The lines With Danault missing and Byron returning, here’s how the forward lines looked at Tuesday’s morning skate Tatar – Thompson – Gallagher Drouin – Domi – Armia Lehkonen/Byron – Kotkaniemi – Shaw Hudon – Peca – Weise Deslauriers I assume if Byron is not playing then its Lehkonen and Shaw with JK It should be Tatar - JK - Gallagher Drouin - Domi - Armia Lehkonen - Thompson - Shaw Hudon - Peca - Weise But meh, whatever ... a loss tonight and Carolina getting a point and we're out of a playoff spot.

Its pretty silly, and all the more strange with the blendered lines. Like, if your other top lines are clicking well I get why you may put a placeholder in Danault's spot for a game or 2 but with us already shifting around lines why on earth put NT up the roster so high?

kinot-2 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Engels: "Julien says there’s a good chance Petry will play. Byron could play, but doesn’t have the green light yet, so don’t count on it." John LU: "Julien says Petry (therapy day) probably will play and that his absence this morning was not injury-related. Byron (forearm) might play if he gets medical clearance this afternoon. Danault (family reasons) is questionable." So, to sum it all up, Petry might play, Byron might not play, and Danault is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to sum it all up, Petry might play, Byron might not play, and Danault is questionable. Danault being questionable is the one thing that *maybe* makes sense from a "why the heck is nate thompson playing on the top line" standpoint. They want the other lines (domi-Drouin, Jk-Shaw etc) to gel and Thompson is merely a placeholder in case Danault can step back in during game-time. Still doesnt explain why Jk isnt given better linemates but be thankful for small mercies: Dlo seems to have dropped below Hudon and Peca in the depth chart right now.
