Maybe I'm biased but that 2nd line looks better than the 1st.

It is. Because Gaudreau is the best player on the team.

Haven't paid too much attention but on paper NA looks like the second best team in the tournament.

Finland's lines aren't correct above. It'll be fun to see Laine-Barkov-Aho in action. Has to be the youngest line in the tournament.

We all knew that McClellan was a jackass, but having Brandon Saad play on your 4th line takes new, previously unexplored donkey levels.

I like Larkin on Gaudreau's line

Too bad Monahan couldn't go. Wouldn't have been awesome to see him and Gaudreau light it up.

Why? Who would you want him to replace?

I'd have him no higher than the second line. The guy was a 30 goal scorer last season. Flip him with Matthews or Larkin.

This isn't the NHL though. NA is rolling out (arguably) 4 1st lines or 2 first and 2 second however you want to see it. Different scenario.

Gaudreau glances at Matthews and Ron is ready to write a book about it.

Larkin has looked great since his game one scratch.

Glad to see him on Johnnys line.

Go Finns. Too much Edmonton stank on TNA. Gaudreau can get some points though, even though it might not be in the flames best interest.
