So, John Scott plays, and Parros sits in the pressbox.

Way to spend a 7th rounder.

You will never win or lose a game based on your 4th line. The 4th line was hardly ever used for anything other then a breather for your other lines and a a line that can serve you in other matters not related to goal scoring.
If you lost a game and blamed it on the fourth liners, you aren't looking at the bigger problem.

Except, you know, if your 4th line is actually dangerous and can score goal. That will force the other team's coach to strech bench's icetime even more, since he can't rely on his scrum to stop us.

Our 4th line played big parts in us losing multiple games this season, especially when Parros was playing.

Of course it's a team sport, so yes, the 4th line has little to do with our inability to score goals at time, or poor play from the blueline, but we've played some of our best hockey over the past few games with a very good 4th line.

What Therrien should do when John Scott is on the ice is do what other teams did to us when Parros was on the ice - put on players who can skate around him and score goals.

Buffalo doesn't even have Kaleta anymore, I'd rather get the easy 3 points here and save the sideshow brawl for when Boston or Toronto is in town.

Are you kidding me? A "dangerous" 4th line? AH! It is impossible to assemble 12 "dangerous" forwards. If your forwards are dangerous, they'll ask to be paid, and they wont sign on a team that will play them on a 4th line.

You haven't been watching lately if you don't think a 4th line can have a huge impact on a game. You think Emelin is so godlike by himself that he makes our d-corps respectable? Not so much. It's more that he's pushing out absolute scrubs on the third pairing like bouillon and Murray that have helped us see a turn around.

Your weakest links can and will bury you. Parros is by far the weakest link out of our forwards.

I kind of hope Parros is dressed, Buffalo could act up.

He's scratched.

Hope he gets a shot against Toronto then. He deserves a fight against Orr.

RDS doesn't have any player on the Sabres to interview who's from Quebec so they're forced to actually do an interesting interview with Pat Lafontaine :laugh:

With Bournival or Briere on that line, they have plenty of skill.

Scott will play 4 minutes and probably cost Buffalo a goal.

This.

So you want small skilled forwards on all lines, is that it? You need a brawny line, depending on game styles and teams. You need something else, other then same ole, same ole on every damn line.

Ah, well, damnit. I thought the point of the game was to score goals.

How silly of me

So, the Habs are paying George Parros so he can watch John Scott and the Sabres bully the Habs.
