Great question from Age this week (or however long it's up ;-) ).
Jillson. Barlow is nearly as much of a playmaker now as Nash and Greening, so putting him on that line starts to run into the "only one puck" problem.
Nice problem to have, though. Too much talent. ::banana::
Barlow
Jillson has great chemistry with Mike Kennedy. Their line will be in excellent shape if Patrick Kennedy stops whiffing on shots and passes.
I kind of agree that Kennedy2 and Jillson have been buzzing the past few games. I also think that Greening and Nash can create space for Barlow to use his great shot (now if only the posts would stop getting in the way).
Derek Punches did lead the deadly offense of Wayne State in goal-scoring in the program's last year ::innocent::
While I agree that they seem to do fine by themselves, I like the addition of Barlow on their lines. When he plays well, Barlow is pretty damn good and I've been waiting for him to have a breakout year for a while now (I thought last year was going to do it but that never really materialized) even though he's been steadily improving this whole time.
Jillson has the speed and ability with the puck that I think meshes well with the chemistry that is evident between the Kennedy's, and think of how productive they will be when Patrick starts connecting on all those nice feeds from his brother!

The Greening-Nash line really begs for a sniper as its third member, but I think we've been saying that about Cornell's top line every year except Moulson's last two.
I can't take credit. It was all RichH ;)

Whoops. Alright, 2nd in goal-scoring behind the only hockey player named Stavros I've ever heard of.
Barlow, he's much grittier than Jilson and so he wins pucks in the corners that setup shots in the slot for Nash and Greening.
