I like this setup.
Aside from one bad pinch, I thought Juulsen played good. He looked surprisingly confident and poised. Would have preferred to see him over Cole.
If Cole’s boneheaded pass up the middle turned into a goal instead of Juulsen poor pinch, would we be seeing Cole out?
All the pieces are in place here…
Really curious to see if Blueger can regain the chemistry with thirst line right away
Pettersson now has really no excuses with Lindholm as his center
One thing I am curious is how bad must his +/- be before toch sits Cole out for a game?
Lindholm, Garland, Joshua have been cooking. We’re breaking it up just to try to get Petterson going – this better work, I don’t know what I’m going to do if it doesn’t
I like it. Not the biggest swing the coaches could have taken. But it removes all excuses for EP.
Not sure how he’s going to look spending more time on the boards, but it can’t be any worse.
Excited to see Hoglander – Lindholm – Pettersson together. IIRC that was tried in the past and seemed promising.
Also, it’s well past time that Ilya Mikheyev got sat.
I love this forward set up but would prefer Lindholm on the wing instead of Petey. Lindy feels like the better board guy.
That being said it’s still a great set up and gives Petey competent linemates. Happy to see Blueger back with Joshua and Garland. Lindy was great there but I’d argue Blueger was even better chemistry wise, even if he can’t finish.
Mikheyev and Lafferty, considering their size and speed have sucked SO incredibly much it is hard to put into words…
All you fucking morons had to do was get it on the forecheck and retrieve pucks and/or disrupt the oppositions breakout.
We knew you weren’t going to put up numbers. But, how in the hell can you not even use your speed to make it hard on their defence though?
Was calling for this last game …very happy to see them reunite Pete / hog / lindholm and blueger with dak / cfg and aman to center a forth line with pods . I would think they would put myk on the wing instead of pdg to give a bit more speed and defensive iq but pdg might be fresher .
I Truly think this look gives the team the best chance to generate more meaningful offence instead of trying to stick with more depth down the middle and playing a game of spray and pray . LFG ! I think this could be the look that gets Peterson cooking… if that line gets legitimately going . Look out
i’ve been wanting hoglander-lindholdm-pettersson for so long now
I’m happy with this – probably the best line-up we could hope for at this rate.
Tocchet cookin’ with this lineup.
I really like this and have been hoping they’d run these top 3 lines for a while. That said, I can see how it’s risky splitting up the previous Lindholm line given the success they had. Hopefully it pays off!
This is Brendan Batchelors job…
I like this setup a lot but I’m still wary of Hronek on Hughes line, I feel like Hughes will do better with a more responsible partner but I have full faith in Tocchet.
Looks good on paper. Let’s hope it translates.
I was saying months ago that after the all-star break doing so many line combos would pay off.
Tocch is in a position where he can mix it up a bit to find the best solution for their opponents, and all the skaters are familiar with each other.
We’ve got enough depth that we can throw on some really fresh legs up against an Oilers team that is absolutely grinding down the stamina of its bread and butter.
With Podz and Hoggy in the lineup I bet we’re going to see Oilers losing puck battles because they are hesitant to engage physically. We’ve already set a good physicality precedence and these skaters are going to beat the Oil spills to a simpering mash.
I believe in the Vancouver Canucks. These lines look dope on paper – I really, really hope to see an EP40 light show tonight.
Please, you silent Swede, do it for the crest!
Let’s go podz!! Playoff podz incoming
About time Mikheyev got scratched… only took 92 games into the season lol
The Swedish line is back!
Bringing back the 3st line!
ITS FUCKIN GO TIME
How Swede it is
I’m expecting a hard forechecking game from Hoglander he seems to do well after sitting a game or 2, I could see Podz or PDG getting some shifts with the Elias line if Hoggy still doesn’t have it and one of those 2 are banging in the corners
Thank fuck Mikheyev is out. I cannot tolerate another game of this guy with his godawful finish.
LOVE IT…..change is fun.
Does this also mean our PP/PK lines will be mixed up a bit?
I thought we’d see Pettersson with Lindholm but I am a little surprised they took Garland off that line.
Garland with Blueger and Joshua though will likely be pretty effective.
I’m so glad to see PDG is back! Looks like everything is alright with him and his family.
I think people are misreading this. The Lindholm line has been a matchup line for Draisaitl. We’re not ‘trying to get Pettersson going’ as much as we’re trying to optimally leverage assets.
If Petey isn’t producing offensively in soft minutes against Edmonton’s 3rd line, then he’s less likely to against Drai’s. We’re shifting to leverage his still-effective defensive play on a matchup line (that still has a ton of offensive upside), while freeing Garly & Dak to abuse the soft minutes that Petey wasn’t capitalizing on.
I love the idea of finding a way to better abuse Edmonton’s inferior depth.
What I’m not optimistic about is using Höglander in important defensive minutes—he wasn’t winning puck battles in the easy minutes. I hope he comes out with a renewed fire, but if anything I’d rather see Podkolzin in his spot, as he’ll play heavier and hurt Edmonton more.
I have a suspicion that might happen if Högs doesn’t figure it out.
