I agree on this. As much as I love Streit... He's been a forward for 3 months in his whole life...Not enough to be on a 1st line.

And we were afraid of giving a 2nd C spot to Plekanec due to "inexperience"...

Carbonneau was just interviewed and he clearly said that Higgins and Ryder weren't working so Streit and Johnson got promoted to the first line. (Just 5 minutes ago on RDS.)

I was scratching my head.... but Carbo got it right after all !
