No a big fan of some of what Tippett is doing. We're rolling with two lines, and then he decides we need to return to McDavid & Draisaitl on the same line. Despite that, the 2nd line last game was actually really good - so we move Yamamoto down the lineup?
Kassian hasn't done a lot to earn a promotion to my eyes. He was -2 last game on a struggling third line and he's only managed 7 shots on the entire season so far.
I do think the fourth line looks better with Shore and Turris off it, although I would really like to see Benson & McLeod reunited at some point. It seems like that's too much youth for Tippett though.
All that said, Detroit should be a punching bag, even with their relatively hot start this year. They have surprised a couple of teams this year, including the Penguins and the Golden Knights, so hopefully we aren't taking them lightly (and hopefully Skinner stops more pucks than in his game last year!)

Detroit has been surprising teams with bursts of offense. Maybe Tip is just going for a wide open back and forth game and wants to see some McDrai points.
Not a fan either of loading the top line. We know those guys are good together. We don't know if we can sustain a 2 line attack and the lack of one has killed us in the playoffs multiple times. Just wasting time that we could be building more chemistry with balanced lines. And confidence for Tip that 2 lines can work, since he panics and goes back to a 1 line team in the playoffs if it doesn't work immediately.
|
Hope it's just a ploy to throw off the Wings. I don't understand the logic if he really does go back to McDrai right now.

They were re-united against the Rangers, so I don't think there's any ruse here.
Tippett just gravitates back to that same tactic over and over. The thing I don't understand is that it isn't like it wasn't working to have Hyman with Puljujarvi and McDavid, and it finally got Yamamoto scoring...so why abandon it? The issues with the team are around the bottom six -so maybe focus on that?
