Men's Hockey - Lines by Team?

[HardcoreHab]

Has anyone heard about any line combinations.

I'm most curious about Canada, Russia, Czech Republic and USA.

Nothing official but what i've been hearing is that Canada will probably use the Gagne - Sakic - Iginla line that was so successful together in 02. It's also very likely that Nash and Thornton will be put together, likely with Heatley on the other side. I'd expect 2 or all 3 of the Lightning to be together, maybe with Bertuzzi getting spot work in there aswell and the checking line to be Smyth - Draper - Doan... We'll just have to see though. Not sure about other teams, it will definitely be interesting to see.

Check the thread a little lower down the page. It looks like these will be the lines for Canada:
Kris Draper-Joe Sakic-Jarome Iginla
Simon Gagne-Joe Thornton-Rick Nash
Dany Heatley-Vincent Lecavalier-Martin St. Louis
Ryan Smyth-Brad Richards-Todd Bertuzzi
Shane Doan

I heard that Russia 1st line will be:

Kovalev-Malkin-Ovechkin

Logically, 2nd line would be:

Kovalchuk-Datsyuk-Frolov
