theamazingtiny Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Elias - Zubrus - GiontaParise - Zajac - Langenbrunner Rolston - Madden - Clarkson Pandolfo - Holik - Rupp These are the exact lines I would suggest. I think these lines would be total win, with scoring spread evenly. I know most people will think sacrilege to break up Madden-Pando but they havn't exactly been shut down pairing in awhile. I'd like to see these lines tried. Someone email them to Brent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clarkson playing with Pando and Madden give them some spark these past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaRay Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 So then you put Rolston there and BOOM offensive explosion right? No. Clarkson gives them a physical presence that Rolston does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokar Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 put rolston with zajac and parise move langenbrunner with madden and pandolfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 put rolston with zajac and parise move langenbrunner with madden and pandolfo No. Langs-Parise-Zajac are a solid group. No sense breaking them up. I would rather have 4 solid lines moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsonnabend Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 put rolston with zajac and parise move langenbrunner with madden and pandolfo This is so clearly the answer, I'm not sure why we're even discussing this. ;-). No one has answered my earlier question. What does Langenbrunner contribute to his line? Better yet, what does he contribute that Rolston wouldn't contribute more of? - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLDJR41 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's been said before but here is my ideal situation: Elias-Zubrus-Rolston Parize-Zajac-Langenbrunner Pando-Madden-Gionta Vrana-Rupp-Clarkson. Move Rupp to wing when Holik gets back and there you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsonnabend Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Langenbrunner is stronger along the boards, provides the grit for line and has great chemistry with Zajac and Parise. I gotta say, I don't see any of that. How are you determining that he's "stronger along the boards", for instance? As for chemistry, I haven't seen any magical connection. Any examples you have in mind? It's possible I just missed them. And Langenbrunner couldn't finish into an empty net half the time, I think. Put two finishers on that line, coupled with Zajac's size and improved play, and you have a stronger scoring threat. I don't think the same could be said simply by adding Rolston to Madden/Pandolfo. - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
