Well... this certainly is a new look.
Gagne – Kopitar – Brown
Clifford – Carter – Williams
King – Richards – Nolan
Richardson – Stoll – Fraser – Lewis
Ellerby – Doughty
Scuderi – Voynov
Martinez – Drewiske

This should be interesting against Detroit. I'd sort of like to see Lewis and Nolan swapped, but I guess Lewis and Stoll have been pretty good together?
We'll see if there's chemistry, but I think these new lines look great--they're all balanced with a grinder/sniper/playmaker. We may be able to run 4 lines without insane line matching, and I think Richards might play more comfortably if he's not pressured to get 2nd line center points.
Who is gonna do the corner work on Kopitar's line? Gagne is the best passing forward on the team so he can't be the digger. Brown won't get his nose dirty this year and Kopitar has been sleepwalking through the last 3 games. I think Carter's line and Richard's line may end up getting the more ice time vs. Detroit.
Well, it looks like he better start then, huh?Quote:

What I really like overall about this line-up is it truly shows the strength down the middle that the Kings are supposed to boast. Let's just hope the wingers provide the support to get better offense.
one interesting tidbit about the Wings. They play today at 11 our time which should finish between 1:30-2. Then play the Kings at 9:30 tomorrow. Kings better take advantage. The line combos will be interesting. Normally that would be great strength down the middle but the left looks weak. Penner really must have pissed off Sutter.
Sutter is Danny Duberstein-in' the s*** outa these lines!!Quote:

I know you're being facetious, but the difference is that Murray doesn't think progressively like Sutter to try something like having Kopitar-Carter-Richards down the middle.Quote:
