That doesn't count, total fluke.
Burn him at the stake! Sacrfice to the hockey gods!
No! Promote him to first line and rip that "A" from Staal and give it to Boyle!

I voted for Bickel, Hank and Hagelin for the lols.
My serious votes would have gone to Nash, Pyatt and MDZ. They are the only three who have come to play the last two games and I thought that even before they scored. I don't see how anyone can say Callahan or Boyle have had good games. But I'm pretty sure some people pleasure themselves to thoughts of Callahan at night so whatever.
The Senators, players and fans sure seemed to be in the playoffs last season.
Halpern is actually faster than I thought he'd be, which is a pleasant surprise for that line, I think he'll work out well once he gets settled in.
new lines in practice,
Nash-Richards-Gaborik
Kreider-Stepan-Callahan
Hagelin-Boyle-Pyatt
Rupp-Halpern-Bickel (for Asham, absent)
top heavy but worth a shot to get things going. I think being with Stepan and Callahan will help Kreider and maybe Hagelin's energy will get Boyle going

Get him going where? Are you saying that he's a dynamo waiting for the right lilne mates to start lighting the lamp? Stop it! last year when the Mitchell, Hagelin, Boyle line produced, Hags and Mitch did it without BB's help and some would argue in spite of his clumsiness.
That aside, I like Gabby back on the right side. I would switch him and Cally for more balance and see what happens.
Hmm....Gaborik back on the right side I see.
PYATT B. Rich Nash
Ck STEP GABY
HAG BB CALLY
RUPP HALPERN AA
SEEM like most balanced lines and everyone stays in position .
Pyatt has no business on the 1st line.
Not really:What about reuniting the line of Haggy, Richards and Gaborik? I thought it was rather dynamic last season. Then again, I'd imagine that ****s the other lines rather hard.

I'd like to see Stepan and Nash tried, so this would work for me.

I think the lines that eventually stick will have Gaborik with Richards and Nash with Stepan, as Nash can create his own offense more so than Gaborik
As someone said before, Nash is much better at creating his own offense than Gaborik so Richie returning to his side would be better. I guess one of Callahan or Nash would need to swing on to the left side.
Hagelin-Richards-Gaborik
Nash-Stepan-Callahan
Kreider-Boyle-Pyatt
Looks fine to me.
I'm glad we're going to see what Nash-Richards-Gaborik can do. I like those top-heavy lines. Once they build chemistry, not many teams are going to keep them off the scoresheet on a nightly basis.
Hagelin/Kreider-Stepan-Callahan works for me as a second line. I don't think this kills our depth.
This is a line just begging for its own name.
How about "The Outsourcing Line," since thats the only way this team will ever be able to have legitimate first line talent?
