I've said it before and I'll say it again. Especially now we have enough fit forwards to at least keep 2 lines together all of the time.
There is no other reason other than Corey thinking its a great tactic for the constant changing of lines. Injuries the last few seasons could have played a part but it has to be largely choice as he still does it when people are fit. Name me one other top coach in world hockey that does this consistantly(and wins at least). Do NHL coaches do it? Have we seen a team win a title over here doing it? Did we do it in the grand slam year? - If I thought for a very short while I could still tell you the lines now.
So why the hell after winning the league with consistant lines does Corey have it in his mind that his way is better than everybody elses.
Line Chemistry has to be a far greater advantage as opposed to keeping the opposition guessing.
PLAY THE SAME LINES COREY! Your system or not it does not work.
This is my single biggest frustration with Panthers of the last few years. Lines are a huge part of hockey. If we fail to win the league this year this will be where I will place the blame and it's all down to 1 man. I have been a huge fan of Corey in the past but these 3 years of this line changing "system" has been nothing short of lunacy. For me it's bye bye Corey.

You are spot on Bagheera. Its because Corey is so pig ignorant and arrogant,it's his way only and he won't listen,just like he won't with changing the powerplay either.
The only reason he was back this season is because nobody else wanted the job when they advertised it last off season.

You know what I mean FS. Made enquiries,contacted agents,put the word out etc etc.
Nobody wanted to know and we lost players like Doucet who wanted to commit,because of our dithering with no coach in place to sign them.

Any more fascinating insights/dreams, Iginla?
You're on a roll right now, hate to discourage you.

They did it because it was the easiest, cheapest option like always. He's got a job for life like gm. Plus you can really retire a guys shirt then sack him, certainly not in testermonial year. Lol

It seems NB cannot win. If he had reappointed CN right away there would have been an uproar. To review what was a disappointing season before acting on a coaching appointment seems sensible. I don't think people have been disappointed to see Shultz in the line up - its been bad luck that we haven't seen more of him. If you look at the roster I don't think you can accuse him of not spending money. Of course CN would have had to work within a budget, but there again Panthers are a club who have worked within sensible limits.

Reminds me of this comedy classic.

He changes the lines every game during the game without fail. And no its not just around injuries and penalties. Its 1 shift to the next. At no point this season have we seen 3 players playing on the same line for a whole game. Yes he had pairs to start with. Kolnik & Moran, Bombach & Schultz, Clarke & Myers. But even then he still rotated the 3rd player during the games. Ling, Lawerence & McMillan being close to an exception. Even then he'll chuck Olli or Cam on for the odd shift.
