The lines have been announced.
How did I do? Let's go gown the list...
Forwards
Line 1 Prediction: Getlaf-Perry-Ryan
Line 1 Actual: Getzlaf-Perry-Ryan
I'm amazing!
Line 2 Prediction: Koivu-Selanne-Lupul
Line 2 Actual: Koivu-Selanne-Lupul
2-for-2!
Line 3 Prediction: Marchant-Brown-Ebbett
Line 3 Actual: Marchant-?-?
The article is very vague about this, probably because nobody's quite sure yet. Marchant was always going to be "the constant," as Mr. Vevoda put it, and I'm stoked that Ebbett will be winging it on this line. I guess we'll just have to see who hits the ice tomorrow.
Line 4 Prediction: Nokelainen-Parros-Artyukhin
Line 4 Actual: Carter-Parros-Brown
Mike Brown and Evgeny Artyukhin are flopped from my original... wait a second. Ryan Carter's not an automatic scratch this year? Sweet!
Defensemen
Pair 1 Prediction: Niedermeyer-Sbisa
Pair 1 Actual: Niedermeyer-Sbisa
Friggin' sweet.
Pair 2 Prediction: Whitney-Boynton
Pair 2 Actual: Whitney-Wisniewski
This puts Wisniweski in as Mr. Plow, which was my alternate hypothesis. I really like this pairing.
Pair 3 Prediction: Wisniewski-Mikkelson
Pair 3 Actual: ?-?
Wiz is obviously moved up and Mikkelson was reassigned, so that pretty much killed my prediction. The official listing doesn't say who among the remaing trio of Eminger, Boynton and Brookbank will be matched up, but I'm liking Boynton and Brookbank at this point. Mostly because "Boynton and Brookbank" is fun to say.
Also, Niedermeyer retains the C, Getzlaf and Koivu will each wear an A. As it should be.
The goalie question remains unanswered. Pretty big shock, eh?
Until next time...
