hartnell is a balls-to-the-wall kinda player. he crashes the net and gets pretty cheap goals. for that, he'll be a first-liner for a while. i see him sticking with carter next year even after the lupul-pronger trade. maybe throw giroux (basically a more consistently productive version of lupul with the hands of a god) on right wing...

Personally I'd really like to try out these lines:

Gagne - Briere - Giroux

Hartnell - Richards - Carter

Carter used to play wing in the WJC and I'd really like to see what this a french connection can do over a full season if Game 3 against the Pens was any indication.

As a Flyers fan Ive been to a Flyers Habs game in Montreal and that place was CRAZY They have some REAL fans there

[fieryify]

Being a Red Wings fan we cant even afford to go to the games anymore it sucks.

[Sinoque0aka0Stephen]

Same with Montreal, even when they suck, and they are sucking, 10th in their conference, the stands are always full.

[mynameisbob3]

no they need some grit on the first line

[CrosbySucksGoFlyers]

yeah the fans only go to the games when they start doing good...............the flyers sell out almost every night and when we sucked in the 06-07 season we still went to the games

[Sabin514]

haha thats a good one. your team cant even fill the stands

[WhaleRider86]

who had lifted the cup this year? I cant remember....was it cooke or hartnell?

[twodayslatertdl]

also, those two line options basically cripple any chance of having a productive third and fourth line. they might be nice little things to try out (such as carter on the wing, and the undeniable french connection) but i don't see them sticking.

[twodayslatertdl]

you pose a very interesting point...i think wherever the flyers put giroux, he's going to rack up the assists. giroux could potentially put gagne over the 50 goal mark, but he could easily do the same for carter. it will also be interesting to see how briere comes back this season. will he go back to being the producer he was a few seasons ago? if he is, there may be no point in stacking up his line with gagne and giroux. we might need to use him to fill in a third line (possibly centerinng JVR)
