wingsfan75 2 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 I saw Cleary but I was damned if I could find Bertuzzi out there. I was checking out the live ice cam on RWW. He may not have been out for long I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpfalcon09 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Per Bruce again at RWC.com -- Bertuzzi and Cleary are both in the lineup tonight unless something happens in the pregame skate. At the moment, Bertuzzi skates with Datsyuk and Homer although Babcock said he'll probably switch him over to play with Lang and Calder during the game. Babcock always looks at forwards in pairs. -- Osgood starts in net tonight. -- Zetterberg skated on his own for a second straight day. Everything's OK. Babcock said he puts a conservative return date on Z at late next week. -- Hasek and Babcock met this morning about the second goal in Calgary. Hasek's fine with everything, including Babcock. The goalie said that he got hit with an Iginla elbow and the replay shows it. There doesn't seem to be any tension between Hasek and Babcock.

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted March 22, 2007 According to The Detroit News, Bertuzzi will play with Dats and Holmstrom tonight That is one interesting line combination! Imagine if this keeps Pavel open a lot more than he is used to. Man, I just want to see it and stop talking about it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted March 22, 2007 According to The Detroit News, Bertuzzi will play with Dats and Holmstrom tonight To me, that line seems like overkill. I wouldn't put Bert on a line with Homer, but he and Dats should be a great fit. That being said, Calder-Lang-Bert sounds awesome to me. My ideal lines when everyone's healthy: Dats-Z-Homer Bert-Lang-Calder Cleary-Hudler-Filppula Maltby-Draper-Franzen HS: Samuelsson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
