In watching the game tonight they did not seem to have the same zip around the net as previous games, they seemed very disorganized. Do you think it may be with MT adding Audette to the line in place of kilger that it killed their chemistry?

I agree.
MT once again panicked way too early in Kilger's case. Sheesh, did he expect him to turn into Mario Lemieux and score every game while playing with K and Z?
There was no reason to bump Kilger off that line against a big team like the Rangers and no reason to promote Audette.

He was getting hit a lot by Kasper, and then the switch to Left wing for most of the game after that.

You can't expect your first line to produce every game. The reason the Habs are rolling along is because they're getting production for the second line as well. This is taking pressure off the Saku line, which is a good thing. MT should leave Kilger on the top line, and leave him there for at least a month. Give him a real chance to prove himself. Yanking him after one point-less game is just plain stupid. He has a golden opportunity to gauge how Kilger will do on the top line. The second line is clicking and we are still winning. When we start loosing repeatedly, then start making changes.

So move Kilger to the right side. Most of what he does on that line wouldn't be affected by being on his off wing. The line sucks as soon as you add Audette. On the ohter hand, it worked fine with Zed on the left and Czerk on the right until MT decided to scratch Czerk and insert Audette. Every week or so, Audette is put to use by Therrien in an attempt to crush momentum and upset chemistry. And it keeps working. That must be why he keeps doing it.
