Chicks and their Polls: Whose line is it anyway?

PrintThe prodigal son returneth. The ice man cometh. The Ferris playeth. Despite what many of us thought, Peter Mueller is actually healthy again and ready to play. Debates will abound on whether or not he will be healthy enough to last and/or contribute, but he's back nonetheless. The big question is where he will play. Duchene's out, so returning to his line ain't happening. Radar's line is clicking just fine, so it really shouldn't be messed with. Does Mueller replace Galiardi on Stastny's line? The problem with that is Gali is killing it lately. Since Jones still hasn't found his groove, does Mueller take his spot? Galiardi is about as versatile as you can get, so he could easily move to right wing. It's unlikely that Mueller will drop down to the third or fourth, not only because that would be dangerous for his noggin, but also because those lines are working well. If Mueller does play on Stastny's line, either Jones or Gali gets dropped or nachoed. Clearly, one of those guys on the bottom lines will be odd man out, though. Right? Does van der Gulik get more time with his new baby by going back to the Monsters? Do you sit Porter or McLeod? Does Kobasew go back to the press box? So many options, so many questions. It all starts with where we put Peter Mueller, though.

Ideally I would love to see
Landeskog-O’Reilly-Hejduk
Galiardi-Stastny-Winnik
Mueller-Duchene-Jones
Koba-McC-VdG
But without Duchene:
Landeskog-O’Reilly-Hejduk
Galiardi-Stastny-Mueller
Winnik-McC-Jones
Koba-Porter-VdG
Dutchy down to the 3rd line? Not a long term thing I would hope. Winnik top 6? No thanks. You’re close but not quite as what would be ideal as far as having two third line wings up on the 2nd long term and a guy like Duchene on the 3rd with Mueller who has way more potential that I think could earn some serious points if healthy.
Duchene-Stastny-Mueller
Landeskog-O’Reilly-Hejduk
Winnik-McClement-Jones
Gali-Porter-VdG/Kobasew
There’s a healthy roster that has a lot of imaginary awesomeness.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
I don’t believe in “lines” anymore. Or at least that they should be numbered at all. But I do agree that your top-6 looks more dangerous than mine.
Top 6 is traditionally your scorers, with your 3rd being two play, and 4th liners providing some energy.

I don’t see that Duchene has earned better than 3rd line as a center this year.

Outside of RoR pretty much no one on this roster has really earned being above a third line. Duchene, Landy and Hejduk would probably be the closest. Our scoring has been terrible outside of our defense and that is only relative to there positions not really overall.

Randy I would adjust that a little.
Duchene-Stastny-Mueller

A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
You think Gali would make a better 3rd center than wing? I could live with it for sure. I think Silent Jay is more deserving of the role while it allows Gali to be free to agitate the opposition, create some chances, and for Jones to take advantage of free space.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
I voted Gali because I lovelovelove the concept of a Gali / J-Mac / Winnik 3rd line. It also means that there’s still a semblance of a power forward on Stastny’s line – Ferris is more of a sniper.
But since Sacco likes to reward people who are playing well, Jones could very easily be moved instead. Gali’s recently found beast mode again and Jones…. hasn’t.

if it was me, I’d play him on the 3rd or even 4th line. there wouldn’t be an expectation to score off the bat and his ice time would be more reasonable. from there, you ease him into the PP and if he starts playing well, move him up.
remember how he looked those first 3 games. If that’s representative of where he’s going to be at now, he’s of limited value on the top two lines.

I am thinking it would cause some resentment eventually if we picked up Cal. He probably doesn’t work as hard as Factor (because who the hell does).

I think you all underestimate McLeod. He stays late every single practice, with O’Reilly (and now Landeskog) being the only ones left on the ice when he leaves. Often they leave at the same time. He works incredibly hard, is always willing to help teammates who want to work skills, is a positive personality in the locker room. I don’t think Cal would bring what he brings. On ice or off.

Damnit Randy… what crazy list are you looking at?
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Official link for those wondering for the All-Star Rosters
The forwards, I can’t think of a guy who shouldn’t be there… except Jason Pominville
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Evander Kane I don’t think is really all star worthy either.
The reason I'm in town, in case you're wondering, is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
he’s the best player on that team, they’re still making sure that each team has one player right?
Peter McNabb thinks I'm outstanding.

Patrick Kane either…he has some decent numbers, but he put them up early, and just looks like he is coasting at the moment, and trying to get by on talent. It’s not working so well
Goalie coach? We don't need no stinking goalie coach!
See… I think the All-Star game selections should be categorized as “stars” and “players currently playing well”
And Kane falls under star… he’s entertaining as hell… he’s on that for the same reason as Ovechkin who had a hideous start to the season.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Mueller, Giggy, Johnson and Yip
all in tonight.
Voice of the avs twitter account said so
eeeeee
Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cups: 2
Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cups: 0
That's all that matters.

The fuck? Varly isn’t starting?
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
Better question, why the fuck is Yip starting?
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Avs need to get some film of him in uniform so the Penguins will believe he actually plays hockey. It’s a condition of the Crosby trade.
OK Shermie, time to be the shepherd

Valid question, tho. Who would they scratch instead? McLeod, I guess.
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
I think it’s already been announced that they scratched Porter (Yip in), Hunwick (Johnson in), and Jones (Mueller in).
Jones is sitting, according to the pregame thread update
Thanks, Joe... Thanks, Peter.... Thanks, Adam....
Thank you. It’s amazing what reading can do for you.

What’s reading, precious?
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!

Still not as good as having someone else tell you.

Well Duchene has to get healthy… and then Corsi… Jibbles has an answer for this with his voodoo and numbers.
Paul Stastny did, what Paul Stastny does. Score big goals.
Yip works his ass off in practice. He’s being rewarded for that.

After watching a year plus watching him NOT work his ass off in games is exactly why isn’t playing on a regular basis…

Team’s losing. Worth trying it. He looked really good in practice TBH. Sniper shots that usually found twine. Strong stick work. Skating sharp.

Please explain.
These polls confuse me.
First, since this is a 6-fingered man poll, I am uncertain whether that is officially THE middle finger or merely A middle finger.
Second: Obvious Inigo Montoya considerations. Perhaps we shouldn’t bait him in this way.
Third: Is O’Reilly’s line the pinky or the thumb on this poll? His line seems far more thumbish and the pressbox relatively pinkyish.
If that’s not the case, I have a complaint. If it is the case, I don’t have a complaint. Not knowing whether I have a complaint or not is irritating, but not entirely worthy of a complaint, so I am in a bit of a quandry.
