Speculation: Cup Final lineup

[TorMenT]

You realize that there is more to playing center than faceoffs, right? And that Sharp isn't very good at those things? Here's a hint -- the next time you see Sharp playing center, watch his defensive coverage/positioning. It's not pretty.

If Sharp plays center, it opens up a spot on the wing for somebody to play on the 2nd line wing. It's essentially swapping Zeus out for Saad or somebody else. Big upgrade on 2nd line.

Exactly

Game 5 Lineup

Bickell - Toews - Kane
Sharp - Handzus - Hossa
Saad - Bolland - Shaw
Stalberg - Kruger - Frolik

Q needs to make sure that the fourth line is not on ice when the Krejci or Bergeron line is on the ice.

 

[Crazy_Ike]

He plays Bolland with Kruger and Frolik and Shaw-Stalberg-Saad is the de facto fourth line. This seems to be working well.

 

[Cullksinikers]

When you score 6 goals, you go with the lineup that lit the lamp tons. It's basic logic. You don't fix what wasn't broken, and what wasn't broken was dominant.

assuming craw plays better, all we really need to do is clean up our clearing of the puck and then force Boston to adjust and beat us while we play OUR game.

D wasn't even that bad... it was Craw being bad. Good that his ability to bounce back after games like this was great all year long
