best line on each team so far

which line's showed best offensive play on your team in first 2 games?

gaborik - demitra - hossa
(6g + 5a) in 2 games. :yo:

they play really good together :handclap:

Påhlsson, Hannula and PJ Axelsson. Påhlsson is the only Swede who has been really dominant so far. Öhlund and Lidström has been ok on defence.

The Tkachuk-Gomez-Gionta has looked great for the US. Gionta has had a goal in both games, and Tkachuk got robbed a few times today. They had 15 shots on goal today :eek:

For Canda I love Nash-Thornton-Gagne, Just compliment each other perfectly. :bow:

Selänne-Koivu-Lehtinen

Jagr-Lang-Straka

For Canda I love Nash-Thornton-Gagne, Just compliment each other perfectly. :bow:
I agree, the Iggy - Sakic - Bertuzzi line has looked good on the PP, but overall I think the Nash lines been better.

so far,
Lehtinen - Koivu - Selanne

Bertuzzi and Iginla have really good chemsitry so far.. hopefully Quinn puts those three together permanently.

I agree, the Iggy - Sakic - Bertuzzi line has looked good on the PP, but overall I think the Nash lines been better.
couldn't agree any more.
I also like seeing Pronger and Blake on the blue line together.

koivu :bow:

For Russia: Kharitonov - Malkin - Sushinsky ... they have absolutely no competition!!!

For Finland: as always, Lehtinen - Koivu - Selanne!

russia's best line is kovalchuk-datsyuk-kovalev. kovalchuk has been the weakest part. kovalev and datsyuk have been russia's 2 best skaters.

I liked what Heatley-Lecavalier-St. Louis were doing for Canada.

That Slovak line with Hossa is unbelievable! :eek:

My thoughts exactly.

I'm about done cheering for the Czechs now. Fortunately I have Slovak citizenship too. Go Slovensko!

Seems to me that Heatley Lecavalier St Louis have created the most offense five on five.

Richards has been creating by himself. Its amazing how similiar he and Sakic look.

Draper Sakic Iginla has done next to nothing five on five I think its pretty obvious they need to put Bertuzzi with Sakic and Iginla.

Bertuzzi Sakic Iginla
Nash Thornton Gagne
Heatley Lecavalier St Louis
Smyth Draper Richards Doan

Redden and Foote have been very solid together.

Overall Gaborik Demitra Hossa have been flat out dominant I think they have prolbably been the best line so far followed closely by Lehtinen Koivu Selanee. I think we should wait and see how the finnish line does against some better competition.

I gotta go with Gaborik Demitra and Hossa.

For Canda I love Nash-Thornton-Gagne, Just compliment each other perfectly. :bow:

Nash and Thornton really click together, they led HC Davos to a championship in Switzerland during the lockout.

gionta and gomez and tkachuk line has been one of the best in the tourney, they have just been dominating.

As many have stated, the line of Gaborik-Demitra-Hossa has been the most dominant thus far. It seems as though they generate many scoring opportunities any time they hit the ice.

As previously stated, Brad Richards and Joe Sakic play so so similarly, the only difference is Sakic's wrister.

For Russia: Kharitonov - Malkin - Sushinsky ... they have absolutely no competition!!!


Kharitonov is a lost body out there... Malkin and Sushinsky are doing great, and have been a good 3rd line in the Sweden game, but most of their good work came on the PK, amazingly, with Kharitonov on the bench.
Only noticed him when he turned the puck over.

Datsyuk line is the best Russian line, and Ovechkin and Afinogenov looked much better with Yashin centering them instead of Malkin.

Overall, after two games, Gaborik-Demitra-Hossa looks like the best line.

Most unthreatening line to score of the big 7? Bulis-Cajanek-Erat. :(

US-Gionta/Gomez/Tkachuk (only credited with 2 goals-both to Gionta, and two assists-both to Gomez, but this line has been flying around the ice i think Tkachuk had 8+ shots today agaisnt Kaz. and was robbed by the goalie once and the post twice.)

as a CBJ fan its fun to watch Nash/Thornton/Gagne, as stated before Nash/Thornton played together in Switzerland during the lockout and i think this line has played together in World Championships before

Joe Thornton and Rick Nash

As many have stated, the line of Gaborik-Demitra-Hossa has been the most dominant thus far. It seems as though they generate many scoring opportunities any time they hit the ice.

I agree 100% !

It's been a joy watching Hossa (one of my favorite Thrashsers) really get to shine out there.

:yo: :yo: :yo:

I have been very impressed with that line as well...

Sweden:

Sedin-Sedin-Samuelsson

PJ-Axelsson and Påhlsson has been doing their job so far. Hannula has been as good as he can be I guess. But I still think Sedin-line are great offensively, they are just unlucky.

As previously stated, Brad Richards and Joe Sakic play so so similarly, the only difference is Sakic's wrister.
Just a thought, but why not try Richards with Sakic and Iginla?

Gaborik-Demitra-Hossa gave me shakes every time they stepped on the ice. Too quick and fast, especially on the huge Olympic ice.

It's been one man more than one line for Italy: John Parco!
amazing so far. :handclap:

russia's best today was definitely kharitonov-malkin-sushinsky. but especially malkin.

nashthornton and gagne line is not the best canada has to offer. it is the sakic iginla and bertuzzi line.

3 games:
Selanne 5+2
Lehtinen 3+4
Koivu 1+5

:thumbu:

Heh, it's funny, I noticed that too. He scored again today I think.

Malkin and Sushinsky are the best Russians. After them it's Datsyuk, Kovalev and Ovechkin.

Rank of Russia's lines in order of best to worst:

1. Kharitonov-Malkin-Sushinsky
2. Ovechkin-Yashin-Afinogenov
3. Kovalchuk-Datsyuk-Kovalev
4. Frolov-Kozlov-Korolyuk
