Wow.. I think new lines is probably a good idea at this point but jesus christ.

[Shellz]

Good to see Lokti in center

[Seventyx7]

I actually like that third line. Hunter on the first blows my mind though.

[Shellz]

Hunter isn't going to last and Murray is ridiculous for putting him up there. But, Williams reallly needs to get going. As do other players. Whatever though.

[Chazz Reinhold]

I'm glad we finally get to see Gagne and Richards together, but Stoll??

[Seventyx7]

I've wanted to see Clifford and Lokti together, so I'm excited for that. I cant believe I'm saying this, but I'm looking forward to getting Penner back so Brown can go to right wing and Hunter and get the boot.

[Live in the Now]

Putting Stoll on Richards wing may be a way to actually get him to do something. Hunter won't last though.

[Cook24]

Hunter AND Brown on the same line? Oi vey. Poor kopi.

[BigBrown]

Things I like:
Loktionov in center
Brown on left wing (might jumpstart him)
Keeping Fraser with Westgarth
Mitchell with Voynov
Gagne with Richards

Things I don't like:
Hunter on the first line (or playing at all)
Moreau in the lineup
Johnson with Greene
Stoll in the top 6

[TwoForRoughing]

I kind of like these lines...

[Sydor25]

Terry Murray coaching at its finest.

Miss a wide open net. First line duty.

[Ziggy Stardust]

I too am perturbed by the promotion of Trent Hunter to the top line. Would rather see Richardson playing LW with Kopitar with Brown on the right side or even Trevor Lewis on RW with that line. Not sure why those two are being kept out of the lineup.

[Cruel11]

Johnson and Greene? Oh boy...

[DaAnimal]

hunter on the 1st? WTF

Sounds like a meme..

[TwoForRoughing]

Finally. Willliams on the third line. I like the energy and skill he brings but he turns the puck over way too many times for my liking.

Although I am no supporter of Hunter, I'd give him another shot on that first line.

And Richie should be playing instead of Moreau. Richy can't finish but he at least draws penalties and brings energy...

[Herby]

Terry and Dean hockey fails to produce any kind of offense (huge shock) so they are just getting desperate now, hoping something will stick.

Hunter and Stoll on scoring lines is just amazing, but really what can you do. Justin Williams can't be counted on to score goals right now.

Juggling the lines is not going to make these guys into skilled players. At this point I think they should play Kopitar and Richards on the same line like Colorado used to occasionally do with Sakic and Forsberg. What do we have to lose?

[cheap77]

What the hell did Richardson and Lewis do to Terry Murray to be benched so Hunter and Moreau can play?

[Fangio]

At this point why the hell not, even though we shouldn't anticipate it to last very long.

[Sydor25]

What's wrong with:

Richardson/(Penner)-Kopitar-Brown
Gagne-Richards-Williams
Clifford-Loktionov-Stoll
Moreau/Richardson-Lewis-Westgarth

Waive Hunter when Penner is back. Move Richardson to the 4th line LW. Moreau to bench. Fraser centers the fourth when Westgarth sits. Lewis to RW.

They were together in last night's 3rd period. So it all looks like a continuation of that.

I agree, but the only thing I can think of is that DL/TM want the talent spread around, by putting Williams on the third it gives each line at least 1 elite player .

Just putting Richie and Gags togerher FINALLY will help. Brown should play better with Kopi, because he and Richards had little going and it wasn't something that would change anytime soon.

Or is this DL giving TM one last chance to get this team moving or he's out???

[Muzzinga]

I like 1 of these lines which is Voynov-Mitchell

[GKJ]

There is no plausible explanation for Hunter being on the top line.
