How has the Forsberg line looked? I've noticed a disturbing trend over the past two games. Almost no shots from anyone on that line save for Forsberg. That's not his game, and that worries me a lot. Are Kariya and Erat not shooting enough?

They've had some golden opportunities, but Kariya can never seem to get his stick on the puck, Erat is still...Erat.
I've noticed several times in each game where Forsberg, Erat, and Kariya all end up within 7-10 feet of each other in the corner. It's like their instincts kick in and they all end up at the same place at the same time. If there is a relative tv close-up, at least one of them should not be in the camera shot.
They're improving. There will be a game soon where that line will click and score about 4-5 goals in one game.
How long until Hartnell gets bumped to that line? I know that weakens the third line, but we need to take advantage of Forsberg, not limit him.
You know and I know that Trotz won't do that. He has decided this is the line that he wants, and he'll stick to it, come hell or high water. At most, he may experiment with putting Tootoo or Nichol on Forsberg's wing.

Sounds a bit like young kids playing soccer when they all swarm towards the ball like bees.

Forsberg and Kariya on the same line, yep, that's their natural reaction.
Initially a bad fit, but just think how it can play out when they find eachother.
i said at the time of the trade and still say now, sullivan belongs on forsberg's wing, NOT kariya. I think their styles perfectly compliment each other.
