It will be interesting to see what the lines will be tonight. I was never a fan of McDavid with Leon. While they are awesome together, unless they are scoring 3 or 4 goals a night, they just can't score enough to justify having them together. I just have never thought Nuge brings enough scoring so if it was me, I would have the following:
Spooner - McDavid - Chiasson
Nuge - Leon - Caggulia/Rattie
Lucic - Khaira - Caggulia/Rattie
Russell - Brodziak- Kassian
Another thing I would hope that happens is they let Vivieros handle the PP. He's supposed to be a PP wizard, why the hell not use him.

I think Lucic should be no higher than the 4th line, and perhaps even in PB for a game. If there was ever an opportunity to send a big message to a veteran, this would be the time. New coach, who doesn't need to worry about making friends or getting fired since he's most likely done after this year anyway. Shake things up, and get the players attention!

I am not advocating for Lucic because he's sucked but I don't think Hitchcock is going to come in and bench Lucic the first game. He's going to want to at least see the guys play in person with him behind the bench before he starts sitting vets.
