    Good grief what are these lines. These look like lines I’d make as a kid in NHL 2002, just reckless abandon and no rhyme or reason. Splitting up Barzal and Bo is absolutely bananas. 3rd line Barzal is even more bananas

    The only thing I can think of is Lou told Lane “Figure it out soon or you’re gone.” And this is Lane throwing a Hail Mary. If that’s not the case, this needs to be investigated for malpractice, because I can not imagine a sane coach on earth splitting up Bo and Barzal

    Holy line blender!

    1st line Applebee’s szn coming shortly.

  3. Hate breaking the Barzal/Bo chemistry. Really not giving Bo much to work with.

  4. Whally gonna score 4 goals tonight make it happen hockey gods

    You guys remember that game against the capitals? Cizikas was out so clutter moved to center and Fasching was on the wing. It was a dominant 5-1 win that was 20 seconds away from being a shutout. Because Lane clearly doesn’t remember that game

    What does it say about your head coach when you blow up your team because your 4th line center is injured?? I can’t take this guy anymore. He doesn’t even deserve to be named. He’s an imbecile. It makes me so mad that it feels like he’s untouchable. I get there’s no logical plug in replacement internally if he got fired but to continue to watch this is as a fan is indefensible. A coach has to be pretty damn bad to make me dislike a team that I know is better than this.

    I’m legitimately going to have an aneurysm looking at these lines

  8. ArtyThePoopie

    genuinely lold at this one

    what can you even say man

  9. Chrismercy

    Two things immediately come to mind.

    Cizikas eats the leafs lunch. Big loss.

    Lane lambert is the biggest drag on this otherwise competitive team.

    Out of all the 1st lines in hockey, that’s certainly one of them.

  11. DrTurtles

    Gross new lines at practice today indeed. How can anyone possibly defend this fucking coach man

  12. ianisms10

    Jesus Christ that’s bad. This is the definition of line blender.

  13. Stockersandwhich

    The wings are dogshit. But goddamn we have center depth

  14. lospolloshermanos777

    That first line must be the slowest winger combination in the NHL (among top 6 lines)

  15. turbulentcounselor

    Wtf is this…so many things wrong. I’m not shy about criticizing Barzal but he deserves better honestly. I don’t think Holmstrom will do well with the unpredictable Barzal. Wahlstrom goes from being healthy scratched every night to the first line. I have to laugh. I’m at least glad Fasching is back

  16. Thepinkcursader

    Going to be a brutal game to go too…..how does lane still have a job

  17. Yanks1813

    I need Lane Lambert to be fired so bad.

    This is atrocious
