We've been barking at Q to stop playing Svatos on the damn 4th line.
In the DPost this am, they are reporting that today's lines will look
like this:
Hlinka - Sakic - Brunette
Smyth - Stastny - Hejduk
Wolski - Arnason - Svatos
4th line
So, he's putting Svatos where he belongs, and putting the two
combinations - Sakic/Brunette, Stastny/Hejduk - that were on fire for
a good chunk of last season back together. I was actually hoping for:
Smyth - Sakic - Wolski
Hlinka - Stastny - Hejduk
Brunette - Arnason - Svatos
....as Svatos could take off if he had a good behind-the-net player
like Smyth, Stastny, or Brunette on his line. But, at least Q is
moving.
Now, if he would just play Hannan/Leopold together on the first
pairing....
