Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

3rd Line Nickname

Does the Betts, Carcillo, Lappy checking line need a nickname? I think they do based on the way they have been especially after the Buffalo game. Nice to see the coach using them as a true checking line giving them the ice time against the opponents number 1's. Richards is too good to forced to be worried about checking all game long. Post your suggestions below and we can start this thing moving before the beat writers come up with something lame. 

My Vote: LCB 2.0 (the ordering doesn't match positions but it does continue the retro theme)

How About...

Chico and the Men? (In reference to Carcillo’s original nickname, Chico)
Heavy D and the Boys? (Spell “Boys” with an “s” to avoid copyright infringement)
Three People Who Have Never Been In My Kitchen?

Maybe The Vacuum Line, since they suck the life out of other teams?
The 1/4 Line, since they played a quarter of the game last night? (The can be pronounced as “Quarter” or One Fourth," the latter of which would be a little jab at their label as the “Fourth Line”)
The Who The Hell Is Scottie Upshall line?

I’m out of ideas.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

“C’mon Get Lappy”?

I don't think...

… that these three would be happy if fans collectively referenced them in line with The Partridge Family or New Jack Swing.

Isn’t Carcillo-Betts-Lappy, the “fourth line”?

I thought the “third line” was the revolving door between Powe-Giroux-Asham-Pyorala-Laliberte, which doesn’t feature an actual center.

Before Giroux was moved down from Richards’ line, that revolving door became the fourth line because of how well the Carcillo-Betts-Lappy line was doing and how much they were playing. Now that Giroux’s centering Powe and Asham/Laliberte, it’s being considered the third line. Stevens doesn’t give numbers to lines though, which I like a lot.

“Two lefties and a cross right”?

“The Wrecking Crew”?

“BB and the Guns”?

Going a bit off-topic, Oskars Bartulis has the best birthplace ever – he’s from Ogre.
