To be fair, I think the SJ line was better last night (hell, Thornton scored a GOAL!), and I'm wondering how much this had to do with the much more even distribution of ice-time. I agree about Getzlaf and Perry; Heatley was playing more shifts on the line with Getzlaf and Nash in the latter half of the Germany game, so I wonder if tonight we will see steady doses of
Staal - Crosby - Iginla
Morrow - Toews - Richards
Marleau - Thornton - Heatley or Nash - Getzlaf - Heatley
I wouldn't be surprised to see Heatley double-shifted, but I'm hoping that Perry sees a limited amount of icetime tonight. He has been pretty consistently useless.
