I wasn't sure about Stars coach Marc Crawford's new line combinations, which he unveiled earlier in the week. But after watching last night, I'm starting to become a believer.
It was good to see Loui Eriksson get the hat trick (although I'm still not sure how one of those goals trickled throught). Jere Lehtinen's two-way ability does help that forward group play better defensively.
I also think that with more time, Steve Ott's presence with make James Neal play with even more of a physical edge. Anyway, the lines last night (and maybe for the forseeable future):
Loui Eriksson-Brad Richards-Jere Lehtinen
James Neal-Mike Ribeiro-Steve Ott
Brenden Morrow-Tom Wandell-Jamie Benn
Brian Sutherby-Mike Modano-Toby Petersen
Do you like these lines?
