<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DucharmetheDOMinator</b></div><div>Pitlick - Evans - Armia

That is the gritty, defensive, physical scoring 4th line.</div></div>

Nah. The line is not exactly physical, for instance none of the players didn't rank in top5 in the hits department in-team last year.

Size wise Armia can count as "gritty", but he don't really play the game that way. He hits, but he doesn't get hit, and usually gritty player can be considered as those who also take hits as well as give them. Evans is only 6'0, but only his game can be considered gritty to an extent. Pitlick is even shorter than that. Pitlick is about as gritty as a cocker spaniel.

Defensively they were all average at best, well aside from Pitlick who was pretty dreadful.

I wouldn't call that a solid fourth line.
