Every player on the Raptors will tell you that the top line, which has been dubbed the Cold Pizza Line, is the reason for the team winning games. I am here to make an argument that the Raptor's second line of Konstantin Voloshin, Gvidas Kazlauskas, and Vladimir Vaskov is just as valuable. While the top line does the scoring, the second line wears down defenders and sets the Cold Pizza line up for success. The Raptor's second line is set up with high scoring players in each spot and puts extreme pressure on the defensive grouping, pushing them back on their heels. Allowing for the Pizza line to swap in and mop up the worn down defenders with massive scoring chances. While, I have to admit, that the Colorado Raptor's first line is the most important, I think the key line is the 2nd grouping. They haven't seen the offensive output but I feel like with good development and more chemistry the two slavs and their baltic friend will start potting more goals and causing a lot more havoc for the opposing teams.
