Nazarian, yes. Vela, not unless he earns it. I would start with something like this...

Crookshank - Blackburn - Grasso
Nazarian - Engaras - Kelleher
Pierson - Vela - MacAdams
BVR - Miller - Fregona/Esposito/Cippolone/Cefalu
---
Sacco/Sato

* If Engaras cannot step into a 2C roll than push Nazarian into the middle and put BVR on the second-line wing.

Wyse - Maass
Gildon - MacKinnon
Boyd - Verrier
---
Dawson/Hickey

***

PP1 - Gildon, Grasso, Crookshank, Blackburn, Vela/BVR
PP2 - Wyse, Maass, Nazarian, Engaras/BVR, Kelleher
PK1 - Wyse, Maass, Nazarian, Vela
PK2 - BVR, Blackburn/Engaras, Boyd, MacKinnon

I'd prefer to see a rotation until one of the two wins the job or plays their way out of competition - and honestly if the team isn't any good and the goalies are close I'd rotate them all year long...

Every time I see the Illinois thread bumped I expect to hear they have hired assistant coaches already.

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

I would be fine with these forward lines, except flip Engaras and Miller. I thought that BvR, Blackburn, and Grasso had good chemistry on the third line as freshmen, and I would like to see them reunited. In similar fashion, I would like to see Crookshank and Engaras on the same line as freshmen.

Miller's gonna be named captain....just a feeling. I'm hoping for Vela in that spot; some say he's too 'hot headed'. Where do they get that idea? ;) Vela, C Nazarian/Miller, A's. Oops...I forgot Boyd...he's def in that list...

by Henry D. Thoreau



Low-anchored cloud,
Newfoundland air,
Fountain-head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream-drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the daisied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of lakes and seas and rivers,
Bear only perfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just mens fields!
The End.

I have no problem with captain and/or co-captains being third or fourth liners or third D pair; I just do not want to see them on the power play. :-)

I have to agree, let's let captains and co-captains of Unh play on bottom two lines and not on power play. So it is said, and so it shall be.

Chuck will be thrilled to get some BC blood in Durham:D

Wow! There it is and JUST in time for the cookout Scott! At first glance...I'm psyched!

I thought y'all were looking for an experienced recruiter, preferably with a defenseman background. He appears to be neither of those, I'm interested in hearing why you are psyched.

Wow. Cool news. Giuliano is a terrific dude, I would bet he is going to be a fantastic coach and the players will love the guy.

I am speaking for myself...and yes, I am curious/wondering about d background that I was hoping for (not to mention the recruiting edge you mention; hope this is can be a strong suit) I feel he brings to the table a lot of experience in the game; that has to speak for something, has extensive player background and coaching (at the pro level) I'm sure others have their POV on him.

Largely it's a first glance reaction...and, being so late in the year, I think it's a good pick. The big dogs haven't spoken up yet, but, that's my initial take. I'm glad we have someone with his credentials on board personally. (And I THINK I can over look his BC background) :rolleyes:;)
