I can't believe how much people are making of this.
Look, the advantage we'll have over Russia and Sweden is the depth to roll four balanced lines. We're not going to have a 'checking' line. We're going to have four lines that are equally able to score and keep the puck out their own net.
You want to put them in an order and put a number on them along with the tv guys, sure, go ahead.
I don't care what centre Jarome or anybody else lines up with. And I guarantee he doesn't either. He's not on a powerplay unit? It isn't going to phase him. And he'll probably be over the wall as soon as the powerplay is done.
Think about that - we've got the scoring depth that we can send a line with Jarome freaking Iginla on it immediately after a powerplay is finished.
I don't care how good other teams are - that's going to cause them problems. And that's what counts at the end of the day.
