[Kin]

Those are probably the team's best lines.

 

[Crucialness Key]

Carolina is somehow 10th in the East,

Jay.
McClement.

 

[rdowdall]

Anyone worried that Leipsic might believe he is a first line forward?

 

[herman]

Anyone worried that Leipsic might believe he is a first line forward?

Not worried. But he certainly qualifies on this lineup.

 

[Highlander]

Heck if Leipsic pans out as third line winger then we are going to have plenty of firepower.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Leipsic will make the NHL full-time for sure in my opinion, be it this year or next. His ability and desire to make plays this early in his NHL career is really encouraging, seems very comfortable in possession already and that will only improve as he gains more experience.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I kinda wanted to see: 

Grabner - Kadri - Parenteau
Leivo - Arcobello - Leipsic
Winnik - Holland - Boyes
Greening - Froese - Clune

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Lines were switched up again at the morning skate:

Grabner-Kadri-Leipsic
Greening-Arcobello-Parenteau
Winnik-Holland-Leivo
Clune-Froese-Boyes

Marincin-Rielly
Gardiner-Percy
Loov-Corrado

 

[Kin]

Anyone worried that Leipsic might believe he is a first line forward?

Is confidence a bad thing? Even out of my 4th line forwards I want them believing they're first liners and dedicated to proving themselves right.

 

[ZBBM]

So Lupul's out for the season too.  Anyone surprised?

 

[LuncheonMeat]

Never mind Leipsic, Leivo is putting his 3-game goal scoring streak on the line tonight.

 

[Zee]

So Lupul's out for the season too.  Anyone surprised?

Nope.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Will Grabner ever score a NHL goal again?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Oh if only Boyes received ice-time all season long.

 

[ZBBM]

Great work by Greening there.  The PP juggernaut has been unleashed.

 

[disco]

Man, that's a weird situation for Parenteau. Notified by Lou that he's going to be traded by the end of the deadline on Monday, and he's out and about there. At least he knows he's not up in the air anymore. The only thing is where.

 

[ZBBM]

Whoa, Hawks get Ladd.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Whoa, Hawks get Ladd.

Someone shot President Kennedy in Dallas too.
