Not a fan of these lines at all.  Moving Doan off a higher scoring line to accommodate a move up of McCleod to the first line is just asinine.  We all know Ruff thinks Tage cannot play center, so I guess we need to break up the entire Tuch/McC/Doan line which has been consistently good.

The current second line will get crushed out there.  Why not start Softie McSupple at RW?  Not available? 

Maybe  he’s trying a shut down line of Doan/Krebs/Greenway to play against their first line and sees more 5v5 minutes than either Tages line or the three yutes, but I guess we’ll have to see how they are deployed. 

 

It's not as if anything they practice is permanent though.  Just trying to shake things up because they're struggling to score with zucker and benson out.  

I'd expect that doan-mcleod-tuch line to return again.
