They have no fight in the corners/boards (backs is ok) cammy has been brutes in those areas and Baertch easily gets pushed off the puck. That line is comprised of too many similar players, need a big body to clear space and battle in the corners. As far as I know Cervenka/Hudler are more skilled players that won't be so tough in those areas. Here's what I do:
Baertch-Backs-Iggy
Tanguay-Cervenka-Hudler
Glencross-Horak-Cammy
Stempniak-Stajan-Comeau/Jones
The second line may have the same problem of not being tough on the boards but what can you do?
I dunno, off the top of my head while I'm bored at work.
I actually really wanted an all youngz lineup Baertchi/Backs/Horak but I don't think it's feasible.

It's funny that we are all looking past tonights game already.
I think those lines are interesting. I would put Glencross with either Cervenka and Hudler, or with Baertchi and Backlund - for the exact reason you say, both need some size. So, why not this...
Tanguay - Horak - Cammy
Baertchi - Backlund - Iggy
Glencross - Cervenka - Hudler
whoever!
