Playoff Lines

Recommended Posts

So apparently it's going to be....

Dupuis / Crosby / Iginla

Neal / Malkin / Kunitz

Cooke / Sutter / Morrow

Kennedy / Jokkinen / Adams

(Glass / Vitale)

If Crosby can't go, Jokkinen centers to top line and Glass slides into the 4th line.

Defence (pairs likely off)...

Martin / Orpik

Letang / Niskanen

Murray / Depres

(Engelland / Eaton)

Sound about right?

Looks like a team that will contend for the big prize, the third line looks like they could grind the hell of almost every team in the tournament . Good mix of skill and toughness.

Having them makes me a little less nervous about having a 4th line that really only has 1 true 4th liner on it.

@B21

I think your spot on with the forward lines, but I think on defense, Eaton may get the nod over Despres. Despres has looked shakey at the end of the season, and Eaton has cup experience.

I think you are right. Eaton does bring the mojo from 2009. ;)

Practice lines today had Crosby centering Kunitz and Dupuis. Crosby also practiced with the first PP unit. Could be real close to playing.

Crosby's own words were to keep an eye on who he skates with in practice as a sign of his return. Good news indeed!
