NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Get Sammy off the 2nd line!! Keep Franzen, Flip, and Cleary I agree. I'm not one of those that bashes Sammy due to being realistic about his abilities, but he was an absolute joke Monday night. He was of no offensive threat, and anytime he had the chance to hit a guy, he decided it would be better to just rub shoulders with him. I counted atleast 4 times I caught him letting up on a check when he absolutely should've plowed through the guy. If he's doing neither, he needs to drop down.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 take out lilly and put in Lebda take out hartigan and put in downey take out sammy and put in Abdelkader lets go tootoo hunting So what you're saying is you want to put in 3 less defensively responsible players against a team that just scored 5 goals against us two nights ago? That makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 "as for Downey, the man is a part time enforcer that loses all his fights and never scores." I do like Downey as an enforcer, but if you make the change I did by striking out the losing fights parts, its a pretty true statement... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2probert4 8 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Go after Tootoo or try to win a hockey game? I'll take the latter. Tootoo wasn't a factor in the last game, nor will he be tonight. Lets just shut these beyatches down and not give up 3 in the third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Ericsson is a better choice than either of them right now. Why? He's big, has a fantastic slapshot and would see it as a one game try out for the playoffs/regular-season. Look what happened with Quincy. He went from meh to a solid young defenseman in mind of many when he played in last year's playoffs. Plus- hey, I'm an Ericsson fan I like Ericsson but there is no way that he is ready to play in leiu of either Lebda or Lilia. Lilja is our number 1 shot blocker. I'd leave him in just for that part. Lebda certainly isn't going to block shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Lets see, I seem to remember Downey winning some fights Downey over McLaren Downey over Parros Downey pummells LaPierriere Downey and Shelley was close Downey beat Walker of St Louis. There are very few fights in the playoffs. That's the bottom line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
