Mayor reports the lines at practice were the same lines from the playoffs. Gagne odd man out.

Will be interesting to see where Gagne fits into the line-up tmrw. #LAKings lines appear to be 23-11-14, 25-10-77, 74-28-22 and 13-24-71
Been engorging on games via gamecenter for 2.5 days now (in-og-you-Ray-shun?) And noticing that teams are winning off individual efforts right now because every team is out of sync.
I'm thinking the teams that get a couple lines to gel quickly will be the front runners. I like the idea of putting the playoff lines in, but think Gagne needs a shot to play with Stoll. Maybe when there are a couple reliable lines going at a good clip.
Was extremely curious about lineup on Saturday... Having Kopitar back makes things so much easier as far as lines go. Just goes to show why centers and defensemen get the big contracts
I honestly don't see how Gagne fits into this line-up. Other then maybe some power play time, I just don't see him being a better fit over the guys in front of him. I don't know that he is a threat anymore. It will nice to see these guys back with regular line-mates. Saturday was a train wreck.
