I like the second line at this point. Bertuzzi seems to have developed into a very good "net-front" man, and with Filppula to feed Franzen's next 6-point game, and Bertuzzi crashing the net, that second line hopefully will work very well.

Not quite sure why everyone is so sure Ozzie is going to bounce back. He was god awful last year, which forced Howard to be the stud he was, and 2 years ago, as a starter, he was at the bottom of the list for all relevant goalie stats. Stack on top of that the fact that goalie equipment is getting trimmed this year, and I smell a shitstorm brewing in the crease, especially if Howie has a sophmore melt down.

Great stuff. But for those who left Happy off both pp units, I don't see any chance of that happening. He's the Datsyuk of the second unit, a guy who can work the half-wall, control the puck, make slick passes and also surprise with a quick, lethal shot. I don't see Bert or Cleary getting much pp time unless there's an injury.

Well look at my lazy ass, I forgot to do the bonus question.

I like Drew's lines. I am Prodano2ndunitpoint.

I'm curious to see how long the lines stay set in stone, especially if the second line struggles to score consistently. We all know that Babcock will tinker with them like an evil scientist. What are your thoughts regarding how long he'll wait before making changes?

I love these roundtables. Keep up the good work, everybody.

As a note, I'd like to just once see a 2nd pp unit of Franzen-Filppula-Hudler-Modano-Cleary, just to see how many short-handed goals we can give up.
