Yeah probably should have said fourth line.   Hogs Blueger Sprong as a line that could feast on another teams fourth line.  

 

Not sure what Tochett will go with exactly.   Maybe something we don't expect.    Sprong is probably going to be utilitized sparingly.   Second PP unit and fourth line.   Maybe Tochett gives Hogs another go with EP, because it's either him or Pizza or Sprong if we keep the third line together.    Do think our new players are decent and then amp up come the post season.  

i don't think tocc will play hogs and sprong on the same line. i could be wrong but i wouldn't. hogs blueger and sherwood might be an effective line #4

This.  It makes a lot of sense to play Hogs on the third line with Suter and Sprong too. 

neither hogs or sprong are good defensively. too much pressure on  suter to produce and take care of all the defensive play. hogs and sprong need to play with 2 defensively strong linemates. miller and boeser need another defensively player on their line.

i don't know if debrusk is strong defensively. if not, that leave petey needing another defensively strong linemate.

i'm sure tocchet will want that.

when you have the most expensive 3rd line in the league (not including players on the tail end of contract or declining demoted to 3rd/4th lines).. well above the league average.. you sure as hell better be one of the best. 

our 3rd line could end up being henein, suter and sprong. there is nothing in tocchet's thinking that says, our 3rd line has to be garland, joshua and blueger.

tocchet will play his players where they can best serve the teams success.

Hey Joe 

 

Holy freeholy there is even a song with that name 

 

 

 

Just write the name of the song you want into your search engine and the song usually comes up. 

 

Then click play, then share, then copy the link. 

It will come up at the top of your keyboard

Then type that link to this thread. 

 

Hope this helps. 

my grandson has showed me 5  times how to put songs onto cff but, i'm still having trouble getting it done. just a stupid old man.

You must be another old guy

 

he must be, durante.

inspiring.

getting re-equainted with the inspiring art work of ariane kramarik.

her story, art works and poems are so fantastic.

mine are not so much getting something from but getting to meet and know hockey people. as i've wrote on cdc, as a teen, i got to shag flies at a batting practice of whl canuck's, andy bathgate and larry popien before they got called up to the newyork rangers. bathgate became a hall of famer.

as a young man, i got two letters and got to meet and talk to babe pratt. he was canuck's good will ambassador and a hall of famer.

i had brief moment and words with david babych at smithers airport.

meeting nhl'ers, i became friends with jim and joe watson, from smithers while playing for the flyers. one year, the brought fred shero to smithers. fred coached the flyers and put on a coaches clinic. after the clinic he joined us all for a few beers.

even though we went to the same church, i never met dan hamhuis, but knew his parents.

when i first moved to smithers, i went into a cafe, the waitress came over, yelled at me and wanted to know what i was doing there? to make the story short, she came back with my order and apologized. she said, i have 2 boys playing for the flyers and i thought you were bernie parent and since it was hockey season, you shouldn't be here. i got to know all the watsons.

i met both flockhart brothers but didn't like their attitudes. i coached one boy, drafted by quebec in the 6th round. highly skilled but a real bean pole. he never played.

Maybe he sees the inevitable shift down to the A and figures there’s a better chance of landing a backup NHL gig out of camp from another team with less G depth? 
 

I mean he can always sign a two way deal at any time, so why not hold out and apply some control over his own future rather than sign and potentially be a waiver claim to somewhere he doesn’t want to play for? 
That said, a team making a waiver claim for him would have need for his services. 
 

I have confused myself and need a stiff drink.

drink a celery stick. a very stiff drink.

canucks play a pre season game against seattle on my birthday. hope i don't jinx them.

one of my favourite is burnt almond bars i use to like cuban lunch bars but the last few i had were not flavourful at all.
