Hagelin talking to Kreider. They're working together during drills. Hagelin's skating hard this afternoon.
Now I know it isn't a full practice, only 12 guys are there with Biron, and Torts isn't even on the ice, but they're working together. Maybe I'm looking into it too much.
Torts also had this to say about Kreider yesterday in the post game presser:
“I see him maybe getting more minutes as some guys just simply haven’t done the job. We are at the situation now where if you are young, old or medium aged, you are going to play if you are playing well.”
I think there is a 99% chance that Hags, Richie, and Gabs go back together, but you never know with Torts.

I am really excited about having Hagelin back. Gives me a TON of confidence about game 6. Give Kreider more ice time and I think we have some great chances.

This give us
line 1: comfort of Hags + Cally very fast w/Kreider pushing it even further, if CK shows scoring touch this early an unexpected plus, but realistic to expect he would maximize opportunities for Hags and Cally, similar bookends who have demonstrated some scoring ability.
line 2: Keeps Rich + Gabo, hoping they have a big game; improves on Feds with AA
line 3 Hard working line relatively close in speed and style
line 4 a lefty lefty righty combo complementary on wings, grinding, Scott will be a handful plus along the boards, Rupp w/help from Stepan, who needs to fill out, setting up each other to score. Good checking line if not vs, their fastest.
Too bad Kreider is not a center. You really want to throw a kid who has played only 2 NHL games into a position that he doesn't play? Switching wings is one thing, but putting him at center is just stupid.
i expect hagelin and kreider to be talking because torts wants kreider to construct his play like hagelin's play....and taking drills together maybe a more of a monkey see monkey do thing....
but i would not be surprised if they were on the same line at times during the game tomorrow and man that would be a fast exciting line

I'm not supporting it lol. Just stating that Torts has done it before, so I wouldn't be surprised. Feds is slow as **** though and don't want him any where near the top line.
