I kind of wonder where he'd play. He can play pretty much anywhere though. Yah I’m anxious to have Comrie back in the lineup again. I kind of wonder where he’d play.

They showed it on ESPN about two months ago. I loved it. I'd like to see Cogliano and Moreau hit the score sheet soon. Hoping ot see Comrie get back after Christmas too, he will add more goals when he gets back. Racki: The Gretzky trade show as great. They showed it on ESPN about two months ago. I loved it.

Btw, 30 in 30 on TSN has the Gretzky trade, for those that missed it... good stuff. gr8one, definitely agree with that.

As for Moreau Potulny Cogliano, yeah I am pretty sure it was that line that was together when Potulny was doing well. And yah, they're not doing bad. But they cooled off as quickly as they got hot. Now they aren't contributing much at all on the scoresheet, however they are playing physical at least (oddly, I'd say especially Cogliano). In honesty, I've only really noticed Cogliano on that line.

Did you see it? As far as the lineup has been, I feel like all lines have been contributing, but its been coming and going as of late. Cogs and Moreau haven't chipped in offensively but I don't think they've been bad. It wasn't too long ago that Potulny had the hot hand, I'm pretty sure he was still playing on that same line, but I could be wrong.

But I wouldn't mind seeing Comrie kick someone off that line to see if he can improve things any.

I'm not sure how long this will last for Penner, but I think this far into the season, I'm still pretty impressed. You've come a long way. When the Oilers signed you, they thought it was the start point... last year, MacTavish thought it was the finish line... it turns out you were just warming up. :lol: The skeptical fan in me has a tough time believing he can keep in the top 20, nevermind top 5. However, consider me impressed anyways. Couldn't have happened to a better guy who's been more kicked around here than the nuts in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o31pI1__oV0&feature=player_embedded# It’s something we’re not used to at all, having guys in the top.. shit.. anything in the NHL.
