Matthias is only 3 years removed from an 18 goal season.  Seems hard to imagine now, watching him play so far this season.

He's good but Perreault is better.  That's really all there is to it.

Except its not...  lineup is being juggled yet 3rd line preserved at all costs

Last year, Matthias-Lowry-Armia was a 'dominant' third line...  could easily be argued this combo is better than Copp/Tanev

Maurice just gets stuck on favourites - this will never change...

Matthias-Lowry-Armia were never dominant and Copp-Lowry-Tanev have been scoring at a great pace for a 3rd line over the last ten games or so.

I mean yeah I'd like to see Armia get more opportunity.  For sure.  But why break up that third line now when they are playing their best hockey?

I've got my torch lit and have been gathering a mob of angry villagers.

although I’m sure I heard TSN saying Ehlers was playing RW so swap him and Perreault perhaps.

MLA were as good or better than CLT

And having a great third line is 'nice' - having your best players in your top six is better

For instance, Copp, Lowry and Perrault are all better centres than Blake Wheeler...  he should be staying on RW

Were they?  I don't know, you didn't back up this claim with anything so I'll just say no they weren't.

Totally agree.  Although I wouldn't consider Copp or Lowry at number one centre.  Perreault, yes.

You don't remember them last year, everyone was talking about how the opposition was pinned...  they were very good

I don't consider any of them #1 Centres...  I'd move Little up and put Lowry or Copp at #2

Connor-Little-Wheeler

Ehlers-Lowry-Laine

Perrault-Copp-Armia

I do remember that.  I also remember a lot of people talking about how MLA was Maurice's "favourite" line and he over-used them and he should break them up and give Armia a shot in the top six.  Kinda similar to how people talk about Copp-Lowry-Tanev this year.

Helle starts tonight

Kind of my point...

maurice falls in love with his third line muckers 

and Matthias marks his first game back by scoring

1st Period

Stacey Nattress could lose her job to this replacement but Stacey sexier so i guess she can stay.

Matthias! PaMa you're a genius!

2-0

Morrissey loses a blade.

2-0 after 1? I'll take that.

Frosty I hope you're joking

captain makes it 2-0

Tanev is out with an LBI

Jets play better with Helle in net altho him making big saves helps. 

Connor makes it 3-1

Lowry makes it 4-1

Wheeler having a very good game at C...  

Lowry looking very good too

 

Maurice pushing all the right buttons again. Wheeler was very good at centre and Matthias buries one. 

We had a big advantage in team speed. Armia's burst on his breakaway was crazy.
