Just realized with Bouma back in, on top of Jones, Colborne, Engelland, Bollig, Monahan, Backlund, Wideman. Add Ferland to that when he is back and we have a lot of players over 6'0 and above or around 200lbs.

I'd just love to see this lineup sometime in the playoffs. I think we can win the cup if we get past the ducks and get our captain back


Gaudreau Monahan Hudler
Bennett Backlund Colborne
Bouma Stajan Jones
Poirier Jooris Ferland

x-(Bollig, Byron, Raymond)


Wideman Russell
Gio Brodie
Schlemko Engelland

x-(Smid, Wotherspoon, Diaz)

Ramo
Hilller
x-(Ortio)


Scratch Raymond and Bollig throw in Ferland and Poirier to give the 4th line more speed, checking, scoring punch and youthful exuberance. Gio comes back and defense goes back to what it was except Brodano will be our 2nd pairing on D to help gio ease back in. Smid drawing in if a defenseman is injured or not performing well.

Bollig has earned his way into the lineup even when everyone's healthy.
He has scored 2 huge goals in these playoffs and adds some much needed size and grit.
