I sunderstand that Cervenkas line has a ton of mojo going right now but Obviously Cervenka can handle the center spot so why not move tangs back to the wing and spread the love around? And Glencross really really needs to be on the third line. Like that he has been okay on the top line but come one. we have the fire power now to move him where he is best suited.

I don't agree. If your second line has generated 6-points and the only point, your top line has generated was when one of them got stuck out on the ice during a shift change and scored on the work of the second line, then you should give that second line more minutes. When your second PP unit is generating chances on the PP and your first PP unit is playing the 200 feet puck fetch mini game then you should give your second PP more ice time.
It doesn't have to be forever. But for tonight, to win this game, put out the lines that are generating. Hell, if you want to get Iginla going throw him out for a shift with Backlund and Cammalleri. Or put Hudler in Glencross's spot for a few shifts. Something.
