Sean McIndoe, otherwise known as Down Goes Brown, made an attempt at projecting the opening night lineup for every team in the NHL ($) over on The Athletic this week. Now for those of you unaware, McIndoe is one of the most fun and funniest writers in all of hockey. And his insights into hockey fan culture are generally spot on. But I wanted to see how he did in projecting the Lightning’s line-up for opening night and compare it to my opinions!
For those of you without a subscription to The Athletic, the basic jist of the article is that each player in the line up is some kind of hockey trope, and he does a “generic” lineup to cover every team.
