How game 1 will look

[Rylan]

I don't think Knives was referring to me.

[Great58]

do people really not take any stock into what lines have been practicing? its pretty clear what the plan is for the playoffs if sid plays.

So Sid will be skating with Bennett and Jeffery in the playoffs? Good to know.

[MRandall25]

*shrug*

At least it's out there that the lines may get jumbled depending on situation and people shouldn't be too alarmed/surprised by it.

[Rylan]

I think the great thing with this team is they are a matchup nightmare no matter what.

[Sarcastic]

Say what? Judging by last night's lines I say the following is likely:

Dupuis - Crosby - Iginla
Kunitz - Malkin - Neal
Cooke - Sutter - Morrow
Jokinen - Adams - Kennedy

Jokinen's too talented to play on line 4. I want him on line 3 and maybe some time even higher, like with Sid on occasion.

There is no line 4 on this team, it is 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d

[Rylan]

1 A, 1 B, 2, 3 is more accurate.

1a
1b
3
4

Sutter Cooke and Morrow are 3rd liners. That's not a 2nd line on any decent team in the league.
Adams and Glass are 5th liners and Jokinen is at least a 3rd. So we'll average it out to 4.

[scals37]

Jokinen should remain at center, with his faceoff ability and solid 2-way play, he'll make the fourth line a solid option.. he'll get his big minutes on PK and second PP unit as well

[Beveridge]

People need to drop video game mentality.

In the playoffs there are no lines, only match ups. Only the order the TV or Media give is a 1 2 3 4 ordeal. It's overrated.

Position doesn't matter. Pens could announce Jussi was switching to D full time starting Wednesday and he could take the faceoffs.

Pens are going to rotate 10 players for 95% of even strength time. The other 5% will be Adams/Glass/TK/Beau/random guy on street

[It'sagreatdayforhockey!]

1a
1b
3
1c

FTFY. With Crosby or Malkin double shifting on the optimal 4th line, it turns into another 1. (Jokinen - Crosby - Bennett) Oh yeah.

[Lt. Dish]

Game 1 looks like this:
An eternity away
Patience for Wednesday

What should breakfast be?
Thinking Crankshaft-brewed coffee
Morrow-like protein

But for now, will wait
Will watch Bruins-Sens tonight
With rapt attention
