Nothing confirmed but lines I saw were
O'Reilly-Duchene-Briere
Landeskog-MacKinnon-Iginla
McLeod-Cliche-Talbot
Aggozino-Street-Vincour

Spevak says he hasn't seen Mitchell out there. How depressing seeing our bad 4th line as the 3rd line. Convinced they will get lots of minutes as well. Maximum 5 min for the 4th line.

There goes our heart and soul.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Didn't watch the game, what were the lines to start?

 

[tigervixxxen]

That post above. The 3rd/4th were pretty ambiguous to which was the 3rd or 4th line.

 

[Avs71]

I like the thought of an Everberg-Mitchell-Vincour 3rd line. That's a big line.

What about McGinn?

 

[tigervixxxen]

What about McGinn?

Seems like it will be a while for him

 

[AvsFan2123]

Taking a stab at the lines for tomorrow with the recent call ups. I'll go with this:

O'Reilly - Duchene - Tanguay
Landeskog - Mackinnon - Iginla
Talbot - Sgarbossa - Briere
McLeod - Smith - Vincour

Really hoping Sgarbossa plays well. I haven't given up on him and hope he at least gets tendered this summer. Excited about Smith as well. But he doesn't really play a 4th line game.

 

[Freudian]

Colin Smith is a winger in the AHL. He's played with Sgarbossa as his center.

I wouldn't mind putting O'Reilly back at C and split the minutes up on the three big C's if those are the guys we are going with.

Talbot - Duchene - Tanguay
Landeskog - MacKinnon - Iginla
Sgarbossa - O'Reilly - Briere
McLeod - Smith - Vincour

Tempted to put Talbot at 4th C, but he has played good lately and he really can play with the best player during a shorter period of time better than most bottom sixers.

Talbot on the top line? I can't see Roy doing that. If anything Smith or Sgarbossa will play on the top line with Duchene.

 

[AvsRobin]

Maybe on paper, but at the end of the game, they aren't going to have that many minutes. Probably due to no PP time etc.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

O'Reilly - Duchene - Tanguay
Landy - Mackinnon - Iginla
Smith - Sgarbossa - Briere
Mcleod - Talbot - Vincour

That's what i'd like to see. I see O'Reilly improving and I don't want to take him away from Dutchy right now. Also, I like Vincour more than Smith and the Boss but he's much better suited for the 4th line than those two.

 

[Avs71]

Not a lot of defensive capability in that bottom 6. That's a feisty third line, but so small. Good thing it's the Habs tonight.

 

[jnk96]

I'd love to see something like this:

Landeskog-Duchene-MacKinnon
Tanguay-O'Reilly-Iginla
Sgarbossa-Mitchell-Briere
McLeod-Talbot-Cliche/Vincour

Don't know about the bottom lines but I'd really love to at least try those top lines...

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

When healthy? Because Mitchell and Cliche are out.

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

I don't know how you break up the Landy/Mack/Iginla line

 

[tigervixxxen]

O'Reilly - Duchene - Tanguay
Landy - Mackinnon - Iginla
Smith - Sgarbossa - Briere
Mcleod - Talbot - Vincour

That's what i'd like to see. I see O'Reilly improving and I don't want to take him away from Dutchy right now. Also, I like Vincour more than Smith and the Boss but he's much better suited for the 4th line than those two.

I was thinking this myself. Keep the top lines with chemistry together and just hope for some skill from the third line.

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[EdAVSfan]

For the love of everything holy, PLEASE do not break up the line thats been showing so much chemistry.

Leave them together. Work the other 9 out.

In case we get another goalie injury

It's mainly about the top 6 with whoever is healthy for the bottom 6.

Missed the opportunity to sign Brodeur...

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Still amazed that with all the line juggling this year we still haven't gotten to see ROR-Duchene-Iggy.
