Hope Tatar is ok
I can dig the front 2, even the 3rd is interesting. Sharagovich feels like a nowhere man at this point, but maybe McLeod can feed him.
I dont hate the lines, but its on Lindy that we have 8 games left and are still moving shit all over the place game to game. We should have 3 consistent lines by this point. Little movement here and there as needed with injuries and stuff. But us throwing out 4 random new lines every game is bad coaching at this point in the season.
Where’s my boy Bastian at? I thought he was practicing again
Is Lazar dead?
Is it normal for an NHL team to change their lines as much as we do? Seems like every game it’s jumbled, which I know a lot of us call out. I’m just wondering how many other teams do the same shit

Nico with Timo, Jack with Bratt. This is a good start.
I imagine that it’s frustrating or at least confusing for Meier to not have a place yet, but he’s THE MAN coming to a team that has lots of THE MAN(s). I think Nico is probably his best pairing, and Mercer has worked well on the first line, so I like this.
I’m okay with Lindy trying to find the right line combinations. When the playoffs happen and he has to shuffle lines, at least he’ll have an idea of who works with who. There’s no time in a 7-game series to figure this out on the fly.
I don’t even hate Shara on the 4th line because he’s obviously capable of playing great defense as evidenced on the PK.
Assuming we keep Bratt and Meier, those top two lines are probably our future, give or take Holtz over Mercer.
Imagine getting an injury in the top 6 and having enough depth that Palat moves up from the 3RD line to take that top 6 spot. That’s honestly good management.
What happened to Tatar?
Looks like it could be the End of the 11F BS. Let four lines figure it out we don’t have a ton of time before the first round
Where is Tatar and since when is Bastian on a D pair?
That top line is what I’ve wanted since we got Timo. I feel like Mercer plays much better with Nico and that Timo will make that line more dangerous. And Jack-Bratt should 100% stay together.
I give him three minutes into the game tomorrow before those lines change again.
