Really wish he'd leave Ovi, Backstrom, Wilson on a line and "play" with the rest. Hags, Dowd, Hathy are solid as well. Really should just be tinkering with lines 2 and 3, imo.. Oh well, we'll see. Hopefully it doesn't take another 20 minutes for them to figure out a hockey game has started.

Yep.


Who is going to work for the puck on line 1?  Sheary is quick, but his size limits his corner muckablility.


I'd like to leave Wilson with Ovi as well, but that puts two of your biggest hitters on L1.  I'm okay with Kuzy there...but he's not been good this year.


I agree on L4.....Leave it alone...unless you want to swap Panik & Hags, but Panik has played much better lately...improved all year.  Hags....just doesn't seem to produce much with all that speed.  I had better hopes for him as probably a 3LW but he just doesn't score much.


Oshie deserves better than 3RW, but I'm sure that's more about his helping the overall balance.  Vranna.....SHOULD be a solid 2W, but he hasn't earned it this year.  He's been a bit better lately so we'll see.


Go Caps.

the 4th line is the only one Lavi hasn’t messed with this year, and no reason to either

I did finally find and try a whiskey from the great Evan Wayne who just happens to be son of one of the greatest humans ever: Sir John The Duke Motherfuckin Wayne, (or Marion Morrison of ya wanna be a dick about it).  Simply, and aptly called: DUKE!   (at least I think its Evan, it may be Patrick)

And boy-howdy is it awesome!!  I only found the $50 bottle, but the hunt for the $100+ bottle(s) is on!!
