Yeo and Hitch both change lines more than katy perry changes dresses, no?

Before this season Yeo was pretty bullheaded about mixing lines. I think once he had to deal with key players being injured, he finally realized that mixing things up was an advantage for him.

I remember last season when he refused to separate Parise and Koivu. Wild may have not even made the playoffs had Koivu and Parise not been injured for a couple weeks thus forcing him to change the top and second lines.

Then again, he didn't have quite the level of depth he has this year either...

Which obviously allows for both coaches to really mix things up if necessary!

Did you hear his interview? Basically said suspend him or when we do it to one of their players only give our guy 5 and a match.

keeping waiting for the fine announcement for his comment

Yeah, Cameron was really pissed. But I think the league gave him some slack here given the circumstances. With Reeds passing away a couple of days ago I think the Senators as a whole organization are going through a very tough emotional time. It wasn't right for Cameron to say that out loud and I'm sure he got a pretty stern warning from the league. But I think his comments were heat of the moment and with everything they're going through he understandably let his emotions get the better of him.

But this is far from over. If anything nasty happens, northeastern Canada may just break off the continent from the ruckus that will ensue.

Actually, the Wild lines have been pretty stable from about the deadline until Zucker got healthy. So now guys are kind of getting moved around and it seems to result in a hodgepodge for the fourth line.

Yep, and that worries me. As you aluded to earlier, that line is going to have to be better than average in this series.
