Line Combos: Build the 2013-14 starting line-up (1st pairing left defenseman)

[WatchfulElm]

Let's build together the Habs 2013-14 starting line-up. This would be an "injury free" line-up, so let's do as if Gionta and Emelin were ready to start on day one.

Try to build lines that work, instead of just voting for the best player for each position.

Between (brackets) is the normal position for this player. You can always vote to put a player in another position.

Time to pick the 1st pairing left defenseman!

FORWARDS

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Brière
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Bourque - Desharnais - Gionta
Prust - White - Moen

P.K. Subban - Josh Gorges.

On what premise are we doing the pairings because a lot of people get mixed up with Left vs Right Position and shoots Left vs Right.

I actually had trouble to find the accurate information about who can play left only, who can play right only, and who can play both sides. If someone can dig this out for me, I'll add this information between (brackets) instead of left shooter (L) and right shooter (R) as it is now.

Gorges & Emelin can play both sides. I think Subban & Diaz are RD, the rest are LD.

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

Looks like we need as no. 1 leftie d-man!

 

[Jakomyte]

I voted Gorges, because I want the top pairing to be Gorges-Subban, although I still consider Markov to be our top LD, but would rather have him on a 2nd pairing at ES to balance out the lineup.

 

[vokiel]

Actually I don't think we'll have very stable pairings this season. They'll move around the pairs a lot depending on what Murray & Markov can do and which team they're facing.

oct 1 Montreal VS Toronto


and no Parros??????? yeah right

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Gorges & Emelin can play both sides. I think Subban & Diaz are RD, the rest are LD.

Tinordi and the Cube can also play both sides

Tinordi and the Cube can also play both sides

That's nice to know, thanks. Could definitely play Cube on the right and keep Gorges on his left with Subban, although I'd rather play our best dmen on the 1st pairing and that's Markov & Subban.
