kinot-2 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 New coach. New attitude? Same number of GP, but we're 1 PT. back. GF exactly the same. GA we have 3 more GA. They are 6-3-1 in their last 10GP. We are 4-4-2. Watch out for Nathan Beaulieu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_T_L Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I suspect Price will get the start but i wouldn't be shocked in the least to see Allen out there. On the one hand you want to give Price the chance to try and impress the new boss, but on the other hand DD might want to send an early message of put up or sit down. The lineup is what i'm waiting to see, especially the D pairings. Will there be any immediate changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup is what i'm waiting to see, especially the D pairings. Will there be any immediate changes? I think so. I think DD will keep Petry and Ed together but I think Shea will most likely start the game with a new partner. But maybe not. We shall see. I think the fact he's not a new coach (he's seen these guys for a long time now) means he already knows what he wants to try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I bet we go back to the lineup we started the season with and he just lets them play without any crazy super defence first dogma it was working lets see if it still can.

Starting Allen could send a strong (and healthy) message to Price. He needs to perform better or he can have less game time while Allen performs really well.

claremont Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I am curious to see the lines in practice update - certainly hoping that the D pairs change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On defense all he's said so far is that edmundson is not on the ice and Petry is skating with Kulak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really hoping they would drop PD down the 4th line if not the press box, Evans has been playing much better than PD so not happy he is scratched instead of that plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean lets face it, if Tatar-Danault-Gallagher get back to what they used to be, we're a much better team because we now have the Suzuki and JK lines too. Will give DD a bit of slack to sort things out. It will be interesting to see what he does on the fly if things arent working to his liking.

However I really have my doubt PD isn't playing to his strengths nor his style of game, he seems to be trying to play as an elite C and just doesn't have near enough skill to pull it off. Kind of like he is playing to increase his value for the next contract when in reality he is doing everything possible to lower it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_T_L Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 From the look of the 4th line my bet would be that he plans to roll 3 lines with only limited 4th line work. I expect he'll be juggling on the go if he doesn't like what he sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had a light schedule and a recent week off. If he's not 100% then why not Allen tonight if he's nursing something. Somethings fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have just given Price a day of rest as more of a way of saying "your technique and crap are solid you need to get your head straight for tonight. refocus and come back and show your critics that you are the Price of old" or something like that.
