From what I have heard & read Luke Richardson has implemented Paul Maclean's system in Bingo to make the transition from the AHL to the NHL a little easier for the Bingo players. One of the problems I have with the Bingo team is at centre, they have too many little centres that may not be strong enough to win faceoffs & they are losing to many draws & possession.
Anyone know what is happening with Culek, I though he had a good camp & should be returned to Bingo or Elmira rather than not be playing? I would prefer him on the team rather than Caporusso at the moment.

Are you ever gonna have a problem with a big player? If you did, you should state it, because it would legitimize, maybe a little bit, your countless efforts to discredit smaller players.
About faceoff posession... I recall Spezza commenting on how his wingers were partly responsible for his good faceoff win%. If you have big wingers, they can out battle their counterpart to gain posession of the puck.
I think I'd rather see The Hoff on the 2nd line rather than Cowick, IMO.
Hoff seems to have more of a play making ability that both PC and JS could benefit from.
from the looks of things, luke wants to put a bigger/physical guy on each line. i think once stone comes back, he'll replace cowick there (if they keep rolling the same lines still).

I don't think the way the lines are listed necessarily mean they are "1, 2, 3, etc." I personally like the Jessiman - Pageau - Hoffman line. Hoffman and Jessiman have been our most consistent, best players so far imo. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that line ends up with the most ice time tomorrow. The grit and size of Jessiman can cover for the other two's lack of it, and they all read the game quite well. Good blend overall of playmaking and goal scoring.
I also like that Zib and Silf were split up. They haven't necessarily been clicking, and breaking them up would allow them to adjust to the NA game easier. I thought Hoffman might replace Silf on the first, but I'm okay with those prospective lines.
