Lines

Granted, lines change often, but what are the lines used most often by the Ducks?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I'm sorry if it's posted elsewhere on the board. I looked in a few other places, but didn't want to look at all of the threads available.

Lines last game:
McDonald-Fedorov-Lupul
Johnson-Rucchin-Krog
Prospal-Pahlsson-Sykora
Chistov-Martensson-Ward

Martensson's gone, so I imagine Holmqvist will take his place. Assuming Niedermayer is healthy, he'll replace either Krog or Johnson on Rucchin's line, and I think that person will displace Chistov on the 4th line and Chistov will sit.

Defense:
Carney-Havelid
Salei-Simpson
Vishnevski-Sauer

Gerber will start unless Giguere does something amazing in practice, like drop a turd in the shape of Oklahoma or something.

Has Chistov been that bad?

Thanks once again!

He was apparently not very diligent over the summer. He's in shape now but lacks confidence, and the coach lacks confidence in him.

He's over 30 games now without a goal. His passing is as good as always but he doesn't know when to dump, when to carry, he's not smart about how to get the puck off the boards like McDonald...

But I bet when he puts one in the net it'll all become pretty clear.

Has Chistov been that bad?

I dont think chistov has had a bad season, but hes got 11 assists and no goals. so the no goals is hurting him. especially when rookie Joffrey Lupul has 6 goals and 6 assists. so, BM has taken Lupul off the trading table, and is now discussing tradin chistov, so IMO chistov really needs to get that goal, to prove he can score, cause him and vish are the main trade bait now. not Lupul, and i for one, am really glad Lupul isnt on the table now.
