Interesting starting lines

We'll see how long they last. From their website, looks like the
opener will feature Marleau-Thornton-Cheech and Michalek-Mitchell-
Setoguchi.

RW does have his strengths, and I like the confidence he shows in
young kids. He seems to have a knack for instilling confidence as
well, letting the young players go out and play aggressive hockey.

On the negative side, I hope Michalek has some chemistry with this new
line. His play last year with/without big Joe was like night and day.
I sort of hate to see those two broken up.

Rissmiller-Goc-Grier should be a steady line as usual, and Clowe-
Pavelski-Bernier is certainly interesting and could supply some
scoring.

Looks like Brown is odd man out at the moment, but could be used on
the PK.

I do like the fact that Marleau is starting on the wing. The guy has
always seemed, to me as well as apparently most people here, to be a
more natural wing than center - he's not a great passer, doesn't have
a particularly great sense of the rink and his teammates, not the best
hands, etc... I've been hoping for him to be moved to the wing for
years, so it's nice to see him starting the seaosn like that.
