Actually I would put Kovalev and Koivu back together with Zednick. Why not? it worked earlier on this year and in fact, at one time was the only legitimate threat we had for a line. I can tell you that Mr. Kovalev did NOT look too happy Saturday playing with Begin and Bonk.

i know....i kept looking at him coming back to the bench and his face just says frustration all over it!!!! But barry, i think pleks is actually playing better than Koivu at the moment and Bulis is always flying, so i think that line can pose a serious threat. If those two can open up space for Kovy, there no telling what can happen! Also the Koivu line is playing better as of late

Ya know Barry, I was wondering the same thing on Saturday night, watching from my couch. Why mess with the Kovy Koivu Zednik line? I can't recall when BG yoinked that one, but it was definitely working before.

Put them back together! Why he hasn't tried to reunite them already is beyond me...he's tried every other combo under the sun. However, the line should be Kovalev / Koivu / Higgins...and leave it that way. If it doesn't work, try it again next game, until it does. It worked before and it will work again!

Here are my lines

KOVALEV / KOIVU / HIGGINS

PEREZHOGIN / RIBEIRO / ZEDNIK

BULIS / PLEKANEC / RYDER

BONK / BEGIN

7 Defensemen

KEy lime...i think it will be tough to Double shift anyone. Our player already get tired by the beginning of the third. Your line seem weird. How do you have Higgins Double shifting?? You cant tire out players like that!

I think the Habs should suit up the following defensive line:

Gainey - Carbs - Jarvis
