About This Page: This is a discussion on LA Kings Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. How well would a "Offense giant" team do.
Offense: 4 scoring lines, of course with enough PK capable players.
Defense: 3 offensive, 3 defensive/two-way defenders.
Solid
Granted, GAA would be quite high, unless you have many two-way forwards, but a team like that would also score like Hell...
So, if Head coach would match his lines 1st - 1st, 2nd - 2nd, 3rd - 3rd and 4th - 4th, playing offensively with each single line, home and away, applying constant pressure on the opponent...
I know that this could turn out to be tough job to do $$$-wise, but it's possible.
And keep in mind that one or two lines would most likely be a rookie/entry level lines.
This is not a suggestion, and I don't like the idea. It's a random thought regarding hockey tactics and I just wonder what do you people think...would this work well, or not?
As it is, the 3rd and 4th lines don't get enough ice time to warrant requiring highly skilled players. Without sufficient ice time, highly skilled offensively talented 3rd and 4th liners aren't going to put up many more points than your average 3rd and 4th liners would. It would however, help your team overall if you had injuries to your top guns.
In any case, a good team in my opinion still needs defensive forwards, a faceoff specialist (if no one on the 1st or 2nd lines is good enough), and some enforcer types in order to be successful.

So, I was thinking about...
