Because they were the lines on a mediocre team that lost in the 1st round.
I don't see anything in last year's offensive stats, counting and advanced, that are better than middle of the pack.
Explain to me why I should be happy with a return to status quo.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm have been mostly below average since the 2019 all star break and not a good #1 line. They are too easily neutralized.
Lucic-Bennett-Dube are a 6-game wonder. They were invisible today.
I think Tkachuk-Backlund-Mangiapane are a good line and were good today but I am a little disappointed that Tkachuk seems to need Backlund so much. I want him to be elite. I want Backlund to need him.
I want a team that isn't less than the sum of it's parts.
