Ribeiro and Koivu don't have any smart players to play with

We got a glimpse of what Ribs could do with a smart player when he played with Dackell tonight. Dackell had his best game of the year, but he just doesn't have the attributes, though he does have very good hockey sense.

None of our other wingers do! None! Do you agree?

Yup you've made a point there. Zednik was supposed to be that guy. I say it's time for this to be what our top two lines look like:
Bulis-Koivu-Ryder
Hossa-Ribeiro-Zednik (see if that line can regain some glory)
Screw Perreault and Audette. If any one of them plays let it be on the 4th line but not at centre because Begin rules in that spot. Bulis needs a chance to show last year's 1st line time was no fluke. But right now we are headed into two games of epic destruction, @Ottawa and @Vancouver. Hmmm, I guess the combined score of this 2 game stretch will be about 10-2.

I think Begin is the only guy on the whole team who goes to the net, why not put him on a line with Zednik? All Zednik does is throw stupid shots at the net, might as well have Begin there banging away, no?

That's what I've been saying since I first saw him play with us!

I think it's worth a shot to try him with Ribs and Zed. We can't score less goals anyway...
