id prefer to have Miller there.
Here's what id do.
Kreider - Stepan - Nash
MZA - Brassard - Fasth
Hagelin - Hayes - Miller
Moore - Sheppard.
I'd dress glass but he wouldnt play.
run 3 LW.

I would like to try Hayes and Nash together. Playing with Stepan isn't going to help break Nash out of his funk.

actually you could really try to blow things up and go with this...
Kreider - Hayes - Nash
Hagelin - Stepan - Miller
MZA - Brassard - Fasth
Moore - Sheppard

Having our giants on one line is very enticing. Doesn't leave much size for the other ones though.

They've used that line before. The line is FAR better with Miller as the RW instead of Fast.
Maybe Miller will fit well with Zucc-Brass and when MSL comes back they can slot him in with Hags-Hayes.

That 3rd line was a catalyst for this team. Don't mess with what works. If anything I would have kept them together and played them more minutes. Sort of like a 2A and 2B lines instead of 3rd.

I agree... Miller has more offensive game, whereas Fast has a better all around game with less offensive capabilities.
Either way, I'm happy with those lines, and like what was posted, if Miller sticks in a top 6 spot, that allows MSL to go down to the Hagelin-Hayes line, which would do WONDERS for our RW depth...
Assuming Miller looks good in a top 6 spot and MSL stays on 3RW, I'd hope that they try this:
Kreider-Stepan-Miller
Nash-Brassard-Zuccarello
Hagelin-Hayes-MSL
Sheppard-Moore-Fast
Glass
Lindberg
That would be a reliable playoff lineup. It also assumes Kreider-Stepan-Nash doesn't get Nash going
Praying that Sather tells AV Glass will be a limited use option in the playoffs. Probably the most fair thing to do.
Too bad Carcillo could actually play hockey... damnit
not if you're poor dominic moore...lol. Ive never seen someone try to avoid passing to a winger like dom moore has with glass
Killem Dafoe
Hold my baby, man.
lol Yeah I feel bad for him, but despite being on a line with Glass Moore has been damn solid all season. He's gotta be my favorite 4th line player right now.
I wouldn't mind seeing this at all.
Yup! Wait until playoffs and we realize how clutch he is. His experience and playoff experience will be invaluable. If he has decent wingers he's a terrific 4th line center.

Hags and Hayes are about our only two players who've shown chemistry in the last couple of weeks and you want to split them up? We did that in our last game and that just meant that none of our lines gelled.

This. I'm quite concerned that now the games are getting real and teams are tightening and we have sputtered as a result.
Maybe it's a rough patch but I think it has more to do with team defense being played against us.
Not good if they can't find a way to create.
AV likes duo's. Hopefully he found Hayes and hags as one.
Step-Kreider
Brass-Zucc
Hayes-Hags
Moore-Shepherd (Hopefully and not glass)
That's because Dom is a smart hockey player. He's better off going one-on-two, even with his limited offensive skillset, than dishing to Glass.

me reading HF
Win a bunch of low scoring games = offense sucks
Win a bunch of high scoring games = defense sucks
pretty sure it isn't both, but I wouldn't be able to tell reading some of the posts I've read since the Chicago loss
Maybe this team is just *gasp* good at winning???
