These intermission guys are probably right though, that Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher could become the first line of the future, and a very dangerous one at that.

Is it sensible thinking to try and assemble a scoring line like an RPG party? "Okay we got our sharpshooter, our playmaker, and our plumber?" Or is that outmoded thinking/unsupported by results?

If you don't bring a cleric you're asking for trouble

That was just weak all around. Markov was terrible on his backcheck, so was DD ... just an appalling mess.

With respect I think this is one of those nights where the team is getting some seriously good chances but bouncy pucks won't go in the net. I'd muuuuch rather see that every night of the year than a team that gets penned into its own zone for 95% of the game but wins on two fluky goals, you know?

Yeah aside from the horrible botch on the shorthanded goal they really haven't played badly.

If they play like that most nights they'll win some games.



My fear if they lose this game is that Therrien will decide these lines clearly don't work and go back to Weise on a top line &c.
