Honestly I care about lines as much as I care about caste systems and social class divisions. It's about finding forwards who can actually play with others with some sense of synchronicity at this point.

Another blender lineup today.

Staal and Fox is the first pairing? Have they ever played together ever?

Kakko with Lemieux and Howden so basically two fourth liners at this point in their careers. Awesome

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Thanks for the memories...

I'd just like to see them stick with some combos for more than one game. They change after every loss, which is ridiculous.

Here is Moneypuck's line data, minimum 5 minutes. A little off because no websites list Smith as a forward.

Based on this, Lemieux-Howden-Kakko isn’t the most insane line idea.

Love seeing our 7th pick with Haley and Smith

Fills me all with warm fuzzies

Lias and Smith have both been good.

I'm with you. However, the in-game flatl-lining is horrible enough to require drastic moves.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

We were 9-1 to start with a roster with less long term potential.

 

[Fitzy]

I just want to see this team adjust and actually play NHL level defense.

Not only have they been letting up a lot of shots, they've been of a high quality.

United winning against Liverfool and Rangers hockey. Shaping up to be a great sunday.

Quinn never ceases to amaze

He has to juggle a) winning with a bad team, and b) developing the organization’s young players. With the ups and downs of so many young players, I don’t think we’re going to see consistent lineups that often.

how dare you be logical.

not on MY hf

Ideally we stay on this chart after this game.

Will be sort of tough early on because of how some games have been brutal pummelings (WPG and WSH)

Such is the life of small sample sizes.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm actually ok with Lemieux Howden Kakko as per what I said before I think Kakko needs someone to dig the puck out and forecheck for him, I dont feel Kreider was that guy, nor Strome.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Worked before so.... Kakko with a goal, Panarin with 2.

 

[Waivers]

@EdJovanovski — Skjei and DeAngelo are a pair today like you stated in the main thread.

Well if Staal-DeAngelo and Staal-Trouba don't work, I guess you have to try Staal-Fox..

Martin Atkinson is watching the Rangers game it looks like.

So wait Lemieux went from being coach decision scratch against Newark and now he’s playing with Kakko on the second line?!
Quinn must really love Howden.

 

[Kovalev27]

Staal def deserves more mins. Unreal.

I mean Strome’s line will probably get just as much if not more ice-time. Strome didn’t work with Kreider/Kakko but I actually think he’s been good.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

These lines suck ass.

7-1 win incoming.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Lias and Smith have both been good.

Let’s be real, as shockingly passable as Smith has been, he’s still the defenseman/wing. Not who I want to see Lias playing with.
