eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I don't want Huds scratched, thats not my arguement. I just do not agree of him being on the 2nd line. You can see the kids confidence is not there. You even watch an interview of him now and he doesn't smile no more. My case is just not having him over Cleary, that doesn't work for me. I guess the only way I can respond is this. I want to win games...so I come up with lines that I think serve that purpose, rather than just saying 'OK, this guy is the second best LW on the team, so he plays on the second line.' I would rather have three lines with talent and chemistry and a fourth 'shutdown' line than two scoring lines, a checking line, and a little used group of guys who individually may not be the best player, together are not a very good match, but all possess skills that make them useful on a higher line with a different combination of players.
