nkuehnl 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Why would you take Hudler off the second unit? He's easily the best playmaker playing on it...without him it would be significantly worse. Good point. I suppose I'm seeing Cleary and not clearly! Hudler-Filppula-Franzen is like the junior ZDH line, not sure why I didn't think of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamaica Jon 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 ^ you want samuelsson playing on the 2nd line as a top six forward over dan cleary? why? are you a Preds fan in disguise? (kidding!) In case you didn't see it on the main page, Matt posted a link about the possible line combos for Game 3. MacLeod reports the following line combinations: Filppula-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Zetterberg-Samuelsson Hudler-Draper-Cleary Drake-Hartigan-McCarty Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Lilja-Chelios I guess Babcock is a Preds fan in disguise...

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Whenever Malts gets back, he should play with Draper and Cleary. Danny can still play on the PP, but on the 3rd line for 5 on 5 play. Keep Mac in, and sit Hartigan. Only spilt up Z and Dats on the road, but play them together on the powerplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KDDRWINGS1 9 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Hank/Homer/Cleary Pav/Franzen/Flip Draper/Sammy/Drake Hudler/Abs/Mac or Downey No more Hartigan please and Hudler shouldn't been on the ice on the pp. I threw in Abdelkader cuz I saw him last night at Chelis and on the forth line with Hudler and Mac it would add some offense and grit that Hartigan hasn't brought.

Wings2818 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Insert Justin Abdlekader Remove Mark Hartigan I guess if it isn't broke there is no reason for change but I want to see Abs get a shot in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 The top line needs to be put back together. Hank didn't look as great in the last game as games 1 and 2, and I think Franzen is actually better off being the primary scorer on his line, so he gives us enough secondary scoring. Cleary will be fine as long as he keeps working hard. He needs to stay in the top 6. I also think Hudler and Draper need to stay together, because inexplicably they have some kind of chemistry going right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
