I'm guessing this is just Chip Tweeting the names, but not in line order. My guess is it's Nodl-Jokinen-Dwyer.

Not if he's planning on using Jordan's line against the other teams' top lines, like Muller said he would. Skinner and Boychuk both on the wings could score, but not be able to handle it in the defensive zone. He also said he wanted some scoring out of the 3rd line. Not with Dwyer and Nodl there.

It's the first day though, so I won't react to these lines yet.

You are right.

Mike Maniscalco ‏@mikemaniscalco

Going by jerseys lines look like: *EStaal/Semin/Tlusty JStaal/Skinner/LaRose Jokinen/Dwyer/Nodl Brent/Boychuk/Westgarth *Center listed 1st

Defense is:

Chip Alexander ‏@ice_chip

Faulk-Pitkanen, Gleason-Corvo, Harrison-McBain on D.

[bleedgreen]

I totally nailed the first two lines on my Xbox all lockout.

You can't touch this.

[Chicago Made Punk]

I want closer to what Smith had:

Tlusty-Eric-Semin
Bowman-Jordan-Skinner
Boychuk-Jokinen-LaRose
Westgarth-Brent-Dwyer

[ThePsychicSaw]

Sasha should be playing lw

[FlyingSquirrels]

I just remembered how bad our defense really is...Geez thats a weak group.

Like Faulk but he will have to cover for Pitkanen's wandering? Good Luck with that.
Gleason/Corvo as a pair have the lowest hockey IQ of any pair in the league.
Hopefully McBain has added a few pounds and won't be pushed around like a rag doll.

On other possible deals this week, Rutherford said, "We'll see. There's not any urgency." Said could add another "grit" guy.


No more moves? I hope not because we still need a 3C.

We won't be the only team having to make those decisions though. Won't be surprised if teams take the attitude that they did with players being sent down to the AHL the first time before the season with a gentlemens agreement not to take anyone.

[Amaxing Joni Jokel]

Michael Smith ‏@MSmithCanes
First PP unit features Skinner-E. Staal-Semin with Corvo and Faulk on D.

Michael Smith ‏@MSmithCanes
LaRose, J. Staal, Jokinen, Pitkanen and McBain comprise the second PP unit.

Chad strikes again.

[Brock Anton]

Jordan want return a Pen.

Muller's PP needs a right handed shot at forward to work. The Hurricanes have no right handed shots with talent (after Semin). Seems reasonable.

So dreamy. So ******* dreamy.

[FlyingSquirrels]

Here I was thinking Muller would be different...As in seeing Char as a 3rd/4th liner that he is and giving the young kids with skill a shot at skill positions.

Silly me.

[Amaxing Joni Jokel]

The apostrophe in Carolina Hurricanes is in the wrong place. Sort of like Chad LaRose in the 'Canes lineup.

Go to the magazine's website, the pictures inside are either almost as or even more hilarious.

Exactly. If Larose is anywhere in the top 6 this team has no chance of being a competitive playoff team.
