Please for **** sake put D'amigo up with Lupul and Kadri that would be the perfect line and i can gurantee it would be a real scoring line that is also not a liability playing defence
I'd rather have D'Amigo on the line than Clarkson. I don't see any chemistry between him and Kadri/ Lupul. He's much better on the shut down line IMO. On the other hand, D'Amigo would provide strong defensive coverage even though he isn't as strong as Kulemin.

Has Clarkson played with Kadri and Lupul yet?

They played a couple of games and looked great together. In that Washington shootout win they were the most dominant line on the ice. Unfortunately the line couldn't stick because Lupul/Bozak kept getting injured, so Raymond moved onto the line and Kadri got shifted up.

I think Chosen One thinks that Clarkson doesn't work well because he struggled when it was just him and Kadri. Lupul completes that line.

Speaking of Lupul, Randy needs to shift him back to left wing. He played his best hockey there and never should've been switched over to RW. Carlyle's obsession with those details really irks me, reminds me of when he forced Phaneuf onto the left side even though he always played on the right.

I think Kulemin would fit on that line a lot better than Clarkson. He's a lot better protecting the puck and supporting the Kadri - Lupul pair. We know from last season that the three played well together as well.

Agree that Lupul is a LWer.

I hope your right, we need to actually dominate a game this year. Funny, I see this going to yet another shootout with Bozak sniping the winning shot:laugh:

We have 3 games left vs Montreal this season. Could still end up placing higher than them in the standings

Just win, please. A regulation win would get us pretty close to the Canadiens

Just saw on Elliott Friedman's twitter that you guys are stuck with the leaf hating trio instead of Bob Cole. Those trio are obnoxious and I can't even stand them when they call Ottawa games the rare times. Was painful hearing them gush over Crosby last spring.

MTL fan here. Leafs takes easily this one, Price pulled, shutout for Bernier.

Habs are in a major slump and the Leafs team/fans seems hungry and confident, fully expect a great game from the blue & white, I'm also expecting a great 2nd half of the season, thanks to Bernie Mac.

Kulemin is a winger can play either side.

Shouldn't take a Brain Scientist to figure something out.
