I don't think coaches attach a number to a line anymore, no 1,2 or 3rd lines, etc. The only given is the 4th line. I could be wrong but that's how I tend to see it, it's just TOI averages that matter.

ive taken it the same way the past few seasons . Too much emphasis on numbered lines.

The way Bylsma spells it out, I think you're right. I think it's like 1A 1B, 3 and 4.

That was the one I found least offensive by a mile.

Makes more sense that way. Some line will have a better night and get more time vs different teams

I'm not sure you are going to see much disparity in ice time between all four lines. I think you see them rolled consistently throughout most of the year.

Odd not seeing players like Ellis, Kaleta, Scott, Mccormick as our 3rd-4th liners. Who ever will we use at this seasons useless player ?

now that Legwand's ability has been severely tempered, I don't even know who we can hate on. My guess will be McGinn.

The scary part is that line 3 isn't even really a typical line 3 either. That line is going to be dangerous offensively as well.

I'd buy into that. Sure is better than being top heavy.

He's already been picked on throughout the preseason. I'm going to wait to make any judgement on him until halfway through the season. He's missed a lot of time due to injury and it's probably going to take a bit for him to get back into the swing of things.

If each line plays up to potential this team has more depth on the forward ranks than his Pittsburgh teams by miles

Like it was previously mentioned. Possession maniacs.

I really hope we're high flying this year. That'd be a lot of fun.

It wasnt a vote option but Warriors by Imagine Dragons would have been an awesome choice imo.

In my opinion I see it more as a top 6 and a bottom 6.

And I really like this bottom 6.

It's not that. It's more or less fishing. Every so often, the other person fires back a proposal and talks happen. Sometimes, though, they think they can play you.

I know in my league we all know each other very well (I actually predicted one of the guys first 3 picks and nailed all 3) But we'll fire off proposals to each other every day till something sticks. It's entertaining if anything.

I would hate your league.

I sent a trade proposal last night to the guy that keeps trying to get Holtby from me. I asked for Bishop and offered Spezza and Lehtonen. Let's see if he accepts.

Last year I got hey I'll give you these 5 spare parts for OV.

My counter offer was I'll take Crosby off your hands for free.

The Rangers have one of the most recognizable goal songs in the league, and it was the winner of a local competition if I am not mistaken. I wouldn't have minded something like that. Let the local artists come up with something.

EDIT: I guess it was written by the MSG music director.

If this guy really wanted goaltending that bad, he would have realized that Ramo was named the starter for Calgary and that he was available through free agency. Too bad he's too slow, since I just picked him up.
