Line Combos: Practice line-up today (UPDATE: New lines March 27, post #88)

[Bonin]

AK-Gomez-Gionta
Moen-Plekanec-Cammalleri
Pouliot-Desharnais-White
Darche-Halpern-Eller

Why split AK and Eller?... Eller back to wing?

Still trying to make Gomez produce at all cost...

[Quarantesix]

poor AK

I like the 3rd line

[Habs 4 Life]

Eller was playing his best hockey of the year, pretty strange move. Well see how that works out tomorrow against the Caps, probably AK last chance at the top line as well

[King Woodballs]

gotta do something
havent scored in two games which for a team trying to make the playoffs is completly unacceptable

[gusfring]

The only thing Martin can think of is changing the lines.

[HeShootsHeScores]

AK with Gomez = Ultimate facepalm

Andrei kostitsyn is not good when his coach thinks he might be the savior for a line. I won't even blame him if he goes back into a slump.

[kassian]

Eller with Halpern?

Eller should be Top 6 by now, Jacques. God damn.

[FlyingKostitsyn]

Ughhh terrible lineup..

Eller has been better than Gomez ever since he was moved back to center and AK is on his line despite limited ice time.
Kostitsyn has been our best forward ever since he's with Eller and out of Gomez's line.

They don't deserve it.

BENCH GOMEZ DAMNIT. Just once, now that Plekanec is back! Pass a friggin message.

Pass a message with 7 games to go? too late. Will do far more harm then good at this point.

[SmurfsFTW]

This is laughable... Or I don't know if I wanna cry...


When will JM think about putting DD on a scoring line ? With pouliot and Kostytsin ? Am I the only one that see the stats of our last 25 games and that DD is our best center during that stretch ? What does he have to do to take Gomez's spot ?

Then have him play 10min max with Pyatt and Halpern. On wing as Halpern is a much better center. No PP timefor him as Plekanec and Desharnais are much better in that aspect. Gomez is as useless offensively as Pyatt and should play on the PK.

As you said, there are 7 games to go. Its too late for him to salvage his season.

[TheBuriedHab]

JM knows that we Need Scott Gomez going to do anything in the playoffs. Gotta try everything.

[NHLcrazy]

AK-Gomez-Gionta
Moen-Plekanec-Cammalleri
Pouliot-Desharnais-White
Darche-Halpern-Eller

Cammalleri-Plekanec-Gionta
Pouliot-Eller-AK
Darche-Desharnais-White
Moen-Gomez-Halpern

Wake up Martin... hell i'd even but Dawes instead of Gomez for 4-5 games just to send him a message. Dawes couldn't do any worse, it's just not possible.

Its too late. He's tried a million time the ''put him with the best players to get him going'' route with Gomez and it never worked. Why would it now?

Why not get Eller or Desharnais used to playing top6 minutes instead? That IS our best bet for the playoffs.

[gusfring]

We will all find out how truely committed to winning this organization is during this off-season. If Gomez is still with the team and not in Hamilton, then we'll know.

[Watsatheo]

Ah sweet the amazing AK-Gomez duo and putting Eller on the 4th line. What could possibly go wrong...again.

Engima - Overpaid - Now cant hit open nets
Not a top 6 forward - turtle neck - Useless this year
Can't skate - Desharnais - White
Darche - Even I know I'm not a top 6 winger and why don't I take faceoffs over Pleks, or especially Cammalleri ? - Eller

[Aurel Joliat]

Eller play 5 good games this year.
I don't care if he play on the wing on the 4th line or if he is a healthy scratch.

Glad to see that Pyatt is not in the line-up anymore

[Habs 1909]

Gomez - AK

[Darch]

I think it's because JM knows that Eller won't make him win in the playoffs, but that he desperately needs to have Gomez going if he wants a shot.

[Le Tricolore]

Poor, poor Andrei...

[Erik Cole 72]

Cammalleri-Plekanec-Pacioretty
Kostitsyn-Eller-Gionta
Pouliot-Gomez-Darche
Moen-Halpern-White

That would be my lineup if patches comes back strong.

no DD ...

Really ?

I mean, really ? he's our best player in the last 25 games... ehm, our best point producer...

I don't get the hate.

[Patrice Brisebois]

Andrei gets stuck with Gomez again? Why?

Moen in the top 6 again? Why?

Eller back to playing wing? Why?
