New lineup tonight!

[Habber]

These lines are much much better than having Dags on the 2nd and Ryder on the 3rd. We just don't have the depth for 3 scoring lines, especially playing the Avs. If we try to match them scoring line for scoring line we'll be in trouble. Stick to what's got us this far which is team defence. Two scoring lines and two shutdown will be great heading into the playoffs.

Nice. CJ came to his senses. This lineup is much more logical. Dagenais would have turned the puck over 5 times per period playing against the fast and highly skilled Avs. He would never have kept it up against them. This is so much better. The only thing I don't completely like is the Ribs line. I think it should be Ryder playing on the right while Kovalev moves to the left. He's a lefty anyway, a veteran and comfortable on both wings. Ryder however is much more comfortable on his natural wing. He shouldn't play his off position, especially in his rookie year.

Good lineup! Once Ward is healthy he knocks the swedish creampuff with no hands Dackell into the press box and everything is nice in that lineup

Ya i agree Munchausen, Ryder should be on his right wing.
Maybe CJ is experimenting to see how he play on the off wing at this point in the season?

Agreed, but did you have to call Dackel a cream puff, i mean isnt he more like a Swedish Bagel

[Habsolution]

I'm disapointed ... I liked the Bulis-Dowd-Ryder line ... I still think Ryder is not that good of a fit with Ribs and Kovalev (here's hoping he's gonna make me lie).

I won't shed a tear over Dagenais not playing but it must be awful for him to be told he'll play and then being retired on game day though.

Sunny-Dowd-Bulis is a true checking line and as already mentioned will probably be the one we see for the rest of the year. VERY GLAD to see Ryder back where he belongs and same with Dagenais

I couldn't agree with you more! And I think that's an awesome 3rd checking line with some scoring punch!
