    Default Langenbrunner on Blues' top line

    Ha, I did NOT see this coming and evidently neither did Langenbrunner, but it looks like he's won the open spot in the top 6 that I personally thought was going to go to Steen, D'Agostini, or Grachev. He'll be lining up with Mcdonald and Backes so looks like the second line will be Oshie-Berglund-Stewart

    "I thought I'd be playing with 'Arny' and 'Steener,'" Langenbrunner said, referring to Jason Arnott and Alex Steen.
    ...
    "We knew that we were going to take a look at that right away," Payne said. "You think that something is going to look good all summer long, and all of the sudden guys get on the ice, and they're reading each other and communicating and things happen. We like what we see with those guys now. We'll continue to monitor it, and if it's continuing to get results, then perfect. ... If not, we've got lots of combinations that we can go to."
    Interesting development.

    Yay! My waiver pickup from 3 years ago could STILL be paying off.

    Sorry guys but as a devils fan I laugh at this. The devils had to play him on the top line bc he was a captain and when he got benched or moved lines he cried like a baby an that's why he isn't a devil anymore. Good luck but this wil fail and then he will cry so don't look for much from this guy. He can shoot the puck alot each game but only 1 in 4 are on goal.

    Langenbrunner must have pictures of somebody in a compromising position.

    That is excellent shooting percentage!

    He said 'on goal', not 'in the net'.

    I don't mind this move as I see Langenbrunner playing the kind of 'space-creating' roll of a S. Ott type player. I also wouldn't read too much into this as I expect a lot of shuffling as the year goes on considering how many 'potential top six' players STL has.

    As an owner of a recently acquired Berglund I'm thrilled to see a goal-scorer like Stewart moved to his wing. Cha-ching!

    That's interesting. Thought Steen's A would have given him the spot.

    man this is going to be the same story as last season; steen's going to be constantly cycled through the top 3 lines....St.louis rolls 3 lines, very even scoring, no real breakout.


    After years of this crap, im hoping berglund and stewart can finally change this, but really with a 3rd line made up of some combo of d'agostini, steen, arnott, langenbrunner, sobotka and grachev is going to make it real easy for st louis coach to piss off a lot of fantasy owners....again :S
