Game Two Suggestion Box: Do This, Not That

PrintDo:
- Shoot. More.
- Go to blue paint. Annoy. Drive to net.
- Get Ryan Smyth / Anze Kopitar / Justin Williams away from the Sedins (That's Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin to you, Auto-Tagger). That match-up neutralized the Kopitar line and didn't stop the Sedins.
- Reunite Alexander Frolov with Michal Handzus / Wayne Simmonds and stick them to the Sedins like glue.
- Split up Randy Jones / Jack Johnson. Or sit Jones in favor of Davis Drewiske.
- Sit Jeff Halpern in favor of Scott Parse. Put Parse on the second line with Jarret Stoll / Dustin Brown. Put Brad Richardson between Fredrik Modin and Raitis Ivanans.
- If that seems insane, instead dress Parse, sit Ivanans, and go with a line of Modin/Halpern/Parse.
- Attach Rich Clune to Alexandre Burrows like a barnacle.
- Control shots against. 27-ish, not 40-whatever.
Don't:
- Skate from the slot to the boards before shooting.
- Wait for the perfect shot.
- Try to make a shot so perfect that if you're off by 3 inches you miss the net.
- Decide this is a good time not to dump it in even if you're supposed to.
- Skate by the net after your pretty shot.
- Stop skating while backchecking against Sedins.
- Play Johnson more than Doughty.
- Play Jones more than Rob Scuderi.
- Show compilations of Kings overtime goals before overtime starts.
- Celebrate goals before they cross the goal-line.

agree, but parse is not a center
clune is going to be necessary sooner or later
Wait till this year.
RE: Johnson playing more than Doughty
I thought Johnson played pretty well last night and part of the reason he had more minutes than Doughty is because he was out there for the full 2 minutes of the powerplay right after the boarding call when Doughty was in the box. Doughty still had more than 24 minutes so I’m not too upset with this.
Dought got less time because he didn’t have the best game along with a couple penalties. I think Jon Quick plays his best when he’s facing more shots, not that 41 shots in acceptable, like card_base said, 27ish is perfect.

RE: Don't play Jones MORE than Scuderi
I say change that line with Don’t play Jones, period that guy has been horrible since late March. He’s one of the main reasons our defense is awful. I would defenitely scratch him and suit up Drewiske.
agreed!
jones is garbage! bail on him and maybe give hickey some playoff experience?

I agree with pretty much all of this Quisp. The problem is that if you split the D pairs you probably have to pair Johnson with Greene (because they’ll get more minutes and OD is old) but Jones and O’Donnell scares me too. It would reduce Jones’ minutes against top competition though. I like a Clune for Ivanans switch but can understand why Murray has Ratis in (size). Clune still has some defensive lapses but I think could make more of an impact with his checking and being annoying, but is more apt to take a penalty. Lastly, please don’t raise your stick prematurely, Handzus.
good point about the pairs
scuderi/doughty
johnson/greene
drewiske/o’donnell?
I don’t know. it’s a vulnerability
Wait till this year.
