Jagr deserves better than to play on Brouwer's line

If I were him I'd retire this afternoon

Anyone else really worried about the fourth line, defensively?

Nashville's counterpart is fairly speedy

my guess
Gaudreau - Monahan- Jagr
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Bennett - Jankowski - Hathaway
Brouwer - Stajan - Ferland

That 4th line can’t last more than one shift. Not exactly an energy line is it?

If GG puts Jagr on the fourth line it will go down in history as one of the worst coaching moves and may lose the few GG supporters that he has. Jagr should never be on the fourth line especially with 2 slow wingers. My guess is that Ferland goes down to the fourth line to give it some speed and grit.

I would rather see Jagr sit than play on the 4th line with Stajan and Brouwer.

That will be the slowest line imaginable, against a fast team. Plus, Jagr's biggest strength - cycling - will be pretty ineffective playing with those guys.

I'm sure Jagr doesn't mind coming off a nagging injury, being on the 4th line with limited minutes to start.

No way Hathaway deserves to be demoted yet, sure Jagr also understands that. If the 3rd line isn't being highly effective I'm sure we see Jagr back up before the game is over.

It's probably the highest scoring 4th line in NHL history

Really though Ferland can swap with Jagr...he is back to Stone hands lately

As much as I hate that 4th line I see no way that you can break up Bennett-Jankowski-Hathaway right now.

Keep the 4th to 10mins and we should be ok.

The fourth line, once dedicated as a superior shut-down line, meant to play the hard minutes, provide a spark and the occasional goal, has become a line of misfit toys. With no real purpose, other than to provide a place for coaching and management to place players they have no idea where else to play.

Nah they interviewed glen. Jagr on forth line. Easing him into lineup especially with back to back games. 10-12 mins on bottom line

Lazar also falling down on the ice a lot, just next to Stajan. Hathaway plays much better in his role, and solidly

Can you imagine if Jagr was able to jump-start that 4th line? Get Lazar back in between him and Brouwer and we've got some speed, size and hopefully finish on the 4th too.

Tired of "But the advanced stats look strong", and "Any day now...", and "They're still in the hunt", and "At least the Oilers are much worse". . . .

I do not think this is going to go well, and I believe it will even bleed directly into tomorrow night.

We try to go to 5 or 6 games a year. Since GG has been coach, we've seen 8 games: 6 losses, only 2 wins. We're going tonight. I hope they win, but I'm not expecting it.
