What is happening with the Habs, Dubé talked about it this week: by drawing the forward lines like he did, Therrien painted himself in the corner; only two offensive lines, and even that. Pressure is all on Chucky's line to produce. Others won't (well, except for the 4th, which shouldn't be the case).

Actually, I bet if numbers were run on teams over the years, it would be support scoring of 3rd/4th lines that really defines "elite"/"contender" teams from the average to really good ones. At a certain level, you sort of expect the 4th liners of a good team to get the best of 4th liners on bad teams. But this 4th line has faced good players, bad players, doesn't seem to affect how they play the game, which is a good sign, also.
