Pettersson standing up for Letang looks even better after that goal.

I've made this point already, but I absolutely love the makeup of this 4th line. I've had the stance before that I want to keep Blueger and pay him 3C money to be a 4C, but you need to surround him with cheap linemates and have Blueger carry that line. This 4th line is exactly that, it's exactly what you want out of the 4th line.

Yea this is the best 4th line we've had in years. Poehling and Archibald are everything you want in a 4th liner. Cheap, physical, and good enough to score more than once a year.

Yeah exactly. I hate paying ZAR-Blueger-Tanev like $7 million to be a 4th line when you can pay Poehling-Blueger-Archibald $4 million and still get great results. Blueger is a great piece to have on your 4th line, but you can't pay an additional guy $3 million or so on that 4th line. Give him scraps and let him earn his paycheck.

Only thing I'm seeing is we need to get something going on 3rd line. They are okay but 4 line at least has some tenacity, speed, & forchecking. (kinda a good system line)

3rd line is average.

Gotta give props on systems and defense though. We are playing much better overall.
