I'd be going with...
Hoffman - Brassard - Ryan
Stone - Turris - Smith
Dzingel - Pageau - Pyatt
Formenton - Thompson - Burrows

In my opinion but better line combos

Stone, Turris and Smith have good Chemistry and so do Hoffman and Ryan.

Hopefully we get the same or better effort and we will be fine.

I'd say don't rush Johnny O and Karlsson back. make sure they are healthy

The line of Ryan, Brassard, and Stone was the only one that did anything in game one. Why would you want to break that up?

Karlsson looks like he will be out another week or so with all the practice jersey films.

because any time we've used the lines I suggested, they work.

then i'd say ive him another week or two. if this team can't win without one player then we aren't good enough to win a cup.

So they're going to stick Formenton on the 4th line...

maybe he'll be able to use his speed against he lower quality pairings. I realize it's his first game, but I doubt he'll manage much with thompson and burrows though.


Personally...

Stone Brassard Ryan
Hoffman Turris Smith
Formenton Pageau Dzingle (think of how fast a line this'd be
Pyatt Thompson Burrows

I also always liked Harpurs game, nothing fancy to it but effective

Any points we can grab without 65 is all gravy.

I think the Sens deserve atleast 1 win but 2 points and 0 regulation losses is not horrible. That said, they have to improve their PP RIGHT away. It's crazy to think that a Boucher team would have THAT as one of it's weak points

Agreed. Picking up points is nice, but at the same time they're leaving points on the table when they could be winning them.

The PP wasn't great with Karlsson last year, so not too uprising it's terrible without him.
