Gotta say I am a fan of this new forward line mix up, it’s something different.
I’ve been curious to see Point & Kuch split up for some time now. It’ll be interesting to see if Point driving his own line can hold up long term or it gets scrapped after one shift or one period. I also like that there’s still a scoring pair on each line with Stammer/Kuch & Point/Hagel and looks more balanced while still having that puck retriever type to muck it up down low or net front with Mikey & Tony.
Really hope Jeannot slots back in on 3rd line LW when healthy and Sheary is only there to keep his seat warm
Nice to see Chaffee be rewarded and elevated for his efforts last night as well

Looking at this lineup makes me realize on a more direct level how much talent we have lost to the cap.
Don’t understand why they can’t play Crozier and Merela instead of Watson/DeHaan. If it’s going to be like it has been, our gain is some younger talent getting a chance which I feel is more beneficial cause there’s not much difference in play aside from age..
My immediate first response was “Fuck”
I don’t know why I let myself get excited and expected not to see Sheary/ABB but here we are
I guess we don’t have any faith in Stammer playing center?
And since we conceding that Point is losing the faceoffsl we’re putting him with two guys who can get the puck back.
Hate them
Tweaked his back last night
Well let’s hope Kucherov is in a shooting mood cause Cirelli can’t finish to save his life.
That might be among the worst defensive groups in the league…
I feel like the threat of splitting up Point and Kuch is usually enough to jump start them and get them going when they’re inevitably reunited ten minutes into the next game so I’m here for it. I am glad to see Chaffee getting elevated, dude deserves some more minutes after being the only one to show up last night.
Great to see Chaffee and Eyssimont get elevated in the lineup, guys put more effort in than ABB and Sheary have lately. Speaking of those two, I’m surprised ABB hasn’t been demoted in favor of Goncalves or Merela so he can get his confidence back in Syracuse
Cirelli would be third liner on most other teams.
