thank god eaton isnt in there. i like him and all, but he hasnt been the same this year.

[Kicksave]

Scuderi - Gogo
Gill - Sydor

I was hoping staal was staying on malkins wing, and the zigomanis, kennedy, cooke like wasnt going to be split up?

Why change lines when it worked?

[Dickie Dunn]

My preference is for Letang to be with Orpik, but I did like the Scuderi-Orpik pairing from a couple weeks ago. It creates that solid defense-first pairing that Therrien is aiming for with Gill and Scuderi, but Orpik can actually move (and move quite well) and move the puck. I would feel confident with that pairing going up against the other team's top forwards and playing behind Crosby's line, which is definitely not something I can say about Gill-Scuderi. Sydor and Gogo work well together, Gill and Letang were a money pairing last year.

Therrien's obsession with putting Gill and Scuderi together hurts my brain.

In practice yesterday they were:

Fedotenko-Crosby-Satan
Sykora-Staal-Malkin
Cooke-Zigomanis-Kennedy
Dupuis-Talbot-Godard

I like these better.

[gregor]

guess psi was wrong.

they had the old lines that the folks here are craving.

embrace the shuffle. this will always be Therrien's m.o.

[CKA24]

NEVER!

[Samsdog]

Like Dupuis on the fourth line, but I'm thinking this could and maybe should be Fedostinko's last chance to crack the top 6. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm GLAD Sydor is in, he's playing better than Eaton and he's been very solid in the few games he's been allowed to play in.

[Daniel87]

MT probably wants more balance throughout the lineup facing Detroit. Hopefully Staals added confindence in the last few games can boil over to his own line to generate some offense.

I am kind of disappointed over the breakup of the Tk line, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see them together again if things go sour. Hopefully it wont have to come to that.

Gill and Scuds VS Detroits speed?
