| 3rd September, 2009 - 9:17 am |  Washington Post - Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau is trying to decide who to play on Alex Ovechkin's line this season.
Training camp will open in less than two weeks.
"I'll have to see how the mix is," Boudreau told the Washington Post on Wednesday. "You can talk about how this should be a perfect fit and that should be a good fit. And this guy is this, and that guy is that, and we know what we're missing. There's going to be a lot of line juggling after the first week. I have ideas of what I want to do, but sometimes it's not the same when you see it in action."
The coach then discussed Ovechkin's line specifically.
"It's not a question of the top line. I'm not trying to evade the question. But the question is really, 'How do you make the first two lines great?' Is Knuble great with Backstrom and Ovie? Or is Semin a better fit with that line and Knuble a better fit with the North Americans, [Brendan] Morrison and whomever, whether it's Brooks or Fleischmann? Or do you want to balance it out by putting Semin on the second scoring offensive line with Morrison with Brooks or Fleischmann? So those are some of the questions." [READ] |
