Who is sitting out Game 2?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Sammy is Babcock's 3rd man playing the point on the power play right now. There is no way he sits game 2. Sadly enough I think Huds will be the odd man out.

Yes, Sammy is important in that role now when Kronwall is out.

But maybe we should try Lebda also on the point?

I'd sit Hudler...I thought Sammy was good on the PP and Cleary had a lot of energy...tough call but I'd sit Hudler if I was Babs

the lil guy gives his all... and got that assist on Lidstrom's goal...

i could care less about Sammy...

I think, based on the current play, Samuelsson should be the one out. But I think it will be hudler or flip. Both were the only ones who played below 10 minutes, while samuelsson played over 15.

It's only a two horse race, if you ask me. Flip isn't even going to be considered. He had a monster game, and was far and away our top guy in the first.

I reaaaaaaally hope Mike does the right thing and benches Sammy but my gut tells me (with great dread and trepidation) that Rex will be unceremoniously shafted.

If it was based on current play Lang would be sitting. Give me a guy who'll at least forecheck, back-check his ass off and play solid in his own end all night over a guy who doesnt take the right man coming back and gives the puck away all night.

Important? :crazy: Yeah, who else has his amazing and valuable ability to have a worthless 60 foot shot blocked and turn into a rush the other way? What exactly is he contributing there that Lebda couldn't do? Or Markov?

Hudler will sit.

Players like Cleary and Maltby were built for the playoffs. No chance they'll sit.

I don't hear Franzen's name mentioned. I don't think he should (or will) sit either since he's a force to be reckoned with as well.

I also think Lebda should get a chance at the point on the power play. He's been nothing but reliable.

If I had to choose it would be Lang because he is lazy. I call him "lazy Lang." I think it will be Hudler instead of Sammy :( .

I think Lilja should be bench for Quincy :!: :!: :!: :thumbdown: .

He was extremely solid. He had one bad play (the one where his pocket go picked in front of the net). Other than that, I couldn't have asked for more from him.

Is Bertuzzi even definite to come back for game 2?

The way our injuries have gone lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for the year.

If Bert is cleared to play, then Rex will be the cut. Sammy has the size and is still very skilled which should point to his return to Game 2. As said, it is nice to have this choice, but I am still concerned that we may have a problem with the D if one should fall.

Hudler was great tonight. He was going into high-traffic areas and was even a little chippy. I'd prefer Sammy to sit but it's probably going to be Hudler.
