willie 09-29-2003, 02:35 PM Robitaille -- Armstrong -- Deadmarsh
Frolov -- Stumpel -- Palffy
Bartecko -- Pirnes* -- Klatt
Avery -- Belanger -- Laperrierre
Norstrom -- Corvo
Miller -- Modry
Visnovsky -- Strbak**
Cechmanek
Huet
Scratches -- Chartrand, Norton, Kuznetsov
IR -- Allison, Aulin, Cammalleri
PP1 - Robitaille - Stumpel - Palffy - Modry - Corvo
PP2 - Frolov - Armstrong - Deadmarsh - Visnovsky - Strbak**
PK1 - Belanger - Laperriere - Miller - Norstrom
PK2 - Stumpel - Palffy - Corvo - Modry
* - Pirnes is a stretch and more me wanting to see him make the squad. I anticipate it will likely be Sim in that roster spot or possibly Smithson, Brennan or Flinn.
** - I do still anticipate DT will acquire another defenseman, relegating either Strbak or Kuznetsov to Manchester.
Herby 09-29-2003, 02:37 PM The D is way too hard to call, again management is gushing over Tim Gleason and I think he may just stick. But since you asked, here is my best bet. Assuming Miller and Modry are healthy.
Norstrom- Gleason
Miller- Corvo
Modry- Visnovsky
As for the forwards, just read the daily news article that Allison is for sure out on the opening trip and Deadmarsh is 50/50. I'm gonna assume Deader can go, and Allison is out. Here are my lines.
Frolov- Stumpel- Palffy
Robitaille- Armstrong- Klatt
Deadmarsh- Belanger- Brown
Avery- Chartrand-Lappy
Deadmarsh on 3rd line may seem odd, but really its just to balance out lines. Once Allison and Cammy come back, I think Brown goes back to junior and Chartrand is bumped up to the pressbox
Herby 09-29-2003, 02:40 PM I forgot about both Bartecko and Pirnes...hmmm.
nikolai19 09-29-2003, 02:46 PM Opening night roster
Frolov-Stumpel-Palffy
Robitalle-Armstrong-Klatt
Avery-Belanger-Lapperiere
Pirnes-Chartrand-Brennan
Healthy Scratch: Bartecko, Norton
Norstrom-Corvo
Gleason-Miller
Visnovsky-Strbak
Healthy Scratch: **Grebeshkov
**Not really healthy, I honestly think he may be suffering from some bruising. Also I am too hoping that we pickup a defenseman.
IR-Allison, Deadmarsh, Modry, Cammalleri, Aulin, Ziska
I don't think that Kuz will initially play because I am willing to bet management is sour over him screwing up his Visa. He should have been trying to get here earlier if it was going to be an issue.
I wish my lineup was more like Willie's, except I just don't see any of Modry, Deader, or Allison back. I bet Miller will not be 100% but he will play because he is a warrior.

I have to agree with you on the lineup...listening to kings talk tonight. management is really high on gleason and strbak. i know i had said before that gleason might be behind holland but i guess i'm wrong...i haven't seen his performance the last couple of games. and with the injuries to modry and miller(hairline fracture - hand), we might see those two on opening day.
as far as forwards...i think thats what opening day would look like. the only thing i don't agree with is that i would like pirnes on the second line instead of avery. just my preference...pirnes looks to be alot more offensively refined than avery and this team needs all the scoring it can get. putting him in with belanger and lappy would garner us some points on the 3rd line rather than avery... i'd like avery in the 4th line. i think getting 6-8 min. a night of ice time is enough for the 'agitating line'. and with avery's tendency to take unnecessary penalties, i think 6-8 min. is enough.
