Thread: Hanifin and Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>Fair. I think, and thought, the lines for Game 5 against the Lightning should have been
marchy bergy Studnicka
Debrusk Krecji Kase
Bjork coyle pasta

Putting Coyle, someone who is a puck possession machine, a bid body, and decent passer with Pasta would be an unstoppable combo.</div></div>

I was criticized for the same school of thought earlier on HF:

Hall - Coyle - Pastrnak
Marchand - Bergeron - Studnicka
DeBrusk- Krejci - Kase

I envisioned Coyle attacking the D in the offensive zone and getting the puck to Hall then driving to the net. Hall then has the shot or pass to Pasta. Five year plan. Meanwhile, Marchand and Bergeron develop Studnicka, and Krejci gets prime matchups with Debrusk and Kase in his final year of his contract. Hopefully the following year Studnicka is pushing Coyle back to 3rd line and taking over with Hall and Pastrnak. If not, he gets Debrusk and Kase.

Thread: Hanifin and Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shane_Kelly</b></div><div>what are these lines.</div></div>

I firmly believe that this team is a Cup contender with Marchand and Bergeron on the second line moving forward. I also believe that the best possible linemate for the next 5+ years for the Rocket Richard winning Pastrnak is to have the Hart Trophy winning playmaker Hall feeding him the puck.

Hall - XXX - Pastrnak
Marchand - Bergeron - XXX

A centre that can get Hall the puck from the defensive zone or from the offensive corners who can then control the play to the net or find Pastrnak is more valuable than putting Hall with Krejci and Kase. No one is a sniper/shooter on that line. Bruins fail by loading up the first line and by putting them into pairs with Krejci having one year with Hall and Pastrnak makes the team a legit three-line threat.
