Lines

[Rolex]

I don't think a line of Crosby-Malkin-Ovechkin would work for us right now.....we are in a slump, every team goes through them.....we'll start winning soon enough and everyone in the French media will be calling for Therrien as coach of the year again.

As are things in Habsland...

I'd like to see something like this for a few games. With Eller, Prust, Bourque all being interechangable in the lineup. Alternate them until someone steps up.

Max Pacioretty - Alex Galchenyuk - Brendan Gallagher
Rene Bourque - David Desharnais - Jiri Sekac
Michael Bournival - Tomas Plekanec - P-A Parenteau
Dale Weise - Manny Malhotra - Brandon Prust

Andrei Markov - P.K. Subban
Alexei Emelin - Tom Gilbert
Nathan Beaulieu - Jared Tinordi​

I like it. I came out with almost the same lines but had Sekac and PAP switch and Eller instead of Bourni but I like the idea of having Bournival there.

Malkin and Ovechkin together has never worked, so no it wouldn't.

That Bournival-Pleks-PAP line could work well as a third line.

I like the fact Bourque gets to play with a center that can set him up....when Bourque is given the chance, his speed and shot could get him some goals.

We can interchange Sekac and Gally and it would still work....but let's leave them as HP put them (more size around DD).

Yeah on paper it seems like something that could really work. Obviously there's the whole "chemistry" thing. It might not work but damn I'd love to see it given an honest shot.

Looks good, but in my opinion Bournival needs to be interchangeable as well. He's not a staple.

Yeah you're right... I was just thinking for the next few games, I like his speed. But really Eller is a staple too. I'd have no problem with Moen sitting mst nights when everyone is healthy.

I think we all agree that Bourque and Eller need to be seperated and that DD and Max need to be seperated.
