Sergei again on the same line?

PricePkPatch · 04-01-2008, 10:54 PM

Personnally, I think Sergei should be again be put on the 2nd Line, along Higgins and Ryder.

Sure, he didn't played that great on our last game, but I am sure that with some time, and some trust, he may get used to those big shoes to fill.

Our last games aren't that important, in the grand scheme of things. But succeeding in making Sergei Kostityn blossom into a great player, with confidence when in a critical position, may give us something just too important for us to ignore it.

Specially a week before the playoffs.

Keep him on the line but Higgins stays as centre.

Koivu is going to make a big difference coming back.

I was going to say that too. I think Higgins should get a shot at centering the same line.

Although Ryder or S.Kost on LW might be a bit weird.

Make Higgins take the faceoff and assume his position of winger right after.

Wasn't LW SK's natural position?

S. Kots needs at least another game at center, although if he could wing Koivu and Higgy we would probably be in buisness

Kost trying to take faceoffs was freakin hilarious. Looked like he wanted to bumrush the other player, break his stick and then run away with the puck. Kid has serious ticks to go with it, which makes him look even more on speed.

The man needs 2 words:

1- Practice
2- Experience

He won't gain experience if we put him on another low-line

As for practice.. I'm pretty sure he's going to practice 1 extra hour more tomorrow to get it right

I think Lats- Higgins- Sergeï would be just nice till Saku's back.

Remembers me of Brian Savage.

Agreed, especially since vs. Ottawa Lats certainly earned his spot back. He was a wrecking ball.

And with those three fighting along the boards we would always have the puck. Pur Cube and Georges as def and you get an hard working scoring line up.

Indeed. We wouldn't need Plekaneck, Kovalev and Kostityn Sr, nor Markov or Streit. Let's trade them

Ohh yeah my mistake. I forgot he can play both wings.
