Henkka

FIne for me. He pick Flames against us and Sharks against us. It promises good result for us.

Let Sammy be on the point, but nothing more. It's just a good thing to get other defensemen more rest.

Bäckström would be interesting choice. He has really been impressive playing behind good defensive team like he did four years here in Finland. He just frustrates opponents. Dominating Kärpät Oulu was very kind of similar dominating team like Wings are at heir own level, so I think he could be a good fit.

Brett can make it. We have that adversity. That's what beeing a Red Wing is. Let's clinch the series tonight.

WE CAN MAKE IT. It's not so bad when you lose your puckhandling d-men. The worst-case-scenario is when you lose you stay-at-home guys.

This is crazy situation. Now we really need guys to step up. I really hope Lebda is ready, he can take the role from Schneids, but of course not 100%. WE CAN MAKE IT. JUST BELIEVE.

Grigorenko will be in the AHL at first. Like Valtteri. Dont count anything for him. He would be the 13th forward to replace injuries. Grigorenko will be in the AHL at first. Like Valtteri. Dont count anything for him. He would be the 13th forward to replace injuries.

Offer 6 million and get him at summer. Definitely worth of it. Zeta - Drury - Homer Franz - Dats - Sammy Huds - Flip - Kopecky Cleary - Drap - Malts

It would be awesome to get Kronner in the 3rd pairing somewhere during the cup run. Then we would be unbeatable.

What was the best and most regular lineup during the season? I'm impressed about Jonathan Ericsson's stats. Huge physical guy, with same point total as Meech. Where they paired in the first pp-unit? I just have a feeling he will be our next draft steal. The last pick at 2002 draft. His card: http://www.redwingscentral.com/prospects/ericsson.html

Bertuzzi is hurting about the new rules and also the Moore-incident that is affecting him. The old NHL was perfect region for Bert, but the times has changed. Pity.

They still have 8 more wins to do. Not easy job.

Hopefuly that continues two (or three) more games.

What do you think, do we have afford to let both oldies Schneider and Chelios go? Lebda and Quincey have been so good youngsters and also Lilja is improving. Next season: Lidström - Markov (or another UFA) Lilja - Kronwall Lebda - Quincey Chelios could be there as a cheap 7th d-man.

Homer - Zeta - XXX Franz - Dats - Sammy Clear - Drap - Malt Huds - Flip - Kope That's our offence at next season? We have to pursue 1st line right handed winger. (Or Chris Drury)

There was some suggestion during the Flames-series, that Niklas could be back in the conference finals if we'll get there. Is there any ubdate about his injury?

What was the news that Calder and Sammy are playing wtih a broken hand? If that was true (likely), you can see it from their play. Bench Calder and lets Huds shine with Lang.

100% agree. He have a lot work to do.

God damn we sucked. The Sharks totally dominated and shutted us down. This series is going to be a sweep. What a pity.

Sammy was just probable to replace him in that article. I think it will be Calder, like it was in practise.

Kopecky of course. Put some big body there to kick Sharks ass.

I think Homer should use a visor. Now he and the team is paying the price not using it.

Cleary - Draper - Maltby against Michalek - Thornton - Cheechoo Our checkin line shutting down Thornton. Datsjuk - Zetterberg - Holmström against Pavelski - Marleau - Guerin Selke-Zetterberg shutting down Marleau. Both lines are very probable to score. Franzen - Lang - Bertuzzi against Clowe - Goc - Bernier Our big guys line to score the goals against their weakest line. Calder - Filppula - Samuelsson against Rismiller - Brown - Grier Fourth line just to play 0-0 or maybe scoring against their checking line. If Holmström is out, put Samuelsson there, and get Hudler to 4th line.

Yes, Lilly has been good. If Kronner comes back, he would be paired with Chelios. Lidas - Danny Lilly - Schneids Kronner - Chelly Damn pretty D.

I counted them by myself from NHL.com statistics.
