Should Quenneville change up the lines?

[Lex L.]

I keep seeing people say that Pronger is impossible to score on. If thats the case, at what point do you put Byfuglien, Kane, or Toews on another line? If Pronger is able to shut down a whole line, at what point do you change things up?

 

[N3]

Yes, Yes he should.

2 losses in, and when did mix it up the players responded. Put Hossa up with Toews, or move Big Buff down. He needs to spread these guys out now.

Didnt someone the other day mention putting Kane on the 2nd line?

Yes, Yes he should.

Yeah, I agree. If Pronger is that successful shutting down an entire line (whether its primarily by shutting down Byfuglien or otherwise), then dont let all that talent be tied up by one player. Spread it out.


I think they should put Hossa on the first line. He makes good charges and is strong on the puck. Putting him with Byfuglien could work. Or put Byfuglien one Hossa's shift. If Byfuglien and Pronger are two big guys sumo wrestling, and Pronger is obviously the stronger, why not put in a different matchup.

Just need to find a good matchup vs their front line.

 

[Savoir_Faire_18]

Yes... he should. Should have going into the second. It all starts with getting the puck up the ice and right now they are too timid... too slow... and too scared. They need to be the team everyone knows they can be and stop worry about getting hit.
