I think its obvious that Saks won't be playing Friday. Hopefully it isn't too bad, but we need to get ready for this big game with out him??
IF YOU WERE GAINEY, how would you juggle the lines for Game 4. Here is my lineup.
Bulis - Ribeiro - Kovalev (is now 1st line status) Higgins - Bonk - Ryder (2nd line status) Zednick - Plekanec - Perezhogin Sundstrom - Begin/Lapierre - Murray (if Begin healthy go with Begin, if not Lapierre)
another option to think about instead of Lapierre if we don't have Begin in, would be Kostitsyn for some Goal Scoring.
Zednick - Ribeiro - Kovalev
Higgins- Plekanec - Ryder
Kostitsyn - Bulis - Perezhogin
Sunstrom - Bonk - Murray.
But again i prefer the first lineup with less juggling involved.
Actually the more i think about it I like Pleks taking Koivus spot and Begin taking Pleks spot. Pleky and Higgins were a good combo for the Dogs once upon a time.

I'm with the Beaker on this one. Pleks with Higgins and Ryder, Ribs with Kovy and Bulis, Bonk with Sunny and Murray, and Begin centering Zeds and Perez. If no Begin available, I'd sub somebody else on to that line or do some double-shifting, but I'd keep the other three lines intact.
