pavyaz19 1 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Downey in for Dmac... I say that because as much as I love Dmac, as everyone does, he just isnt doing much anymore...Downey hasnt had a chance in these playoffs at all. I miss him. ahhhhh hahahaha, might as well put my fat ass in for D-mac instead of Downey. Downey serves no purpose except to put a mediocre attempt of a fight on Ott. The dude sucks hardcore otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coolio Mendez 7 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Sit D-Mac and Chelios! I wanna see this for game 5: Zetterberg, Flippula, Holmstrom ( Flip reminds me more of a Datsyuk rather than Zetterberg, he's more of a pass first, shoot second player) Datsyuk, Cleary, Samuelson ( If Datsyuk can't get Cleary going or at least see some quality shots I don't know who can?) Maltby, Draper, Drake (Grinders) Hudler, Helm, Abdelkader (These guys will play to prove a point, tons of speed and skill.) Lidstrom, Rafalski Kronvall, Stuart Lebda, Ericsson (Speed +Power= ?)

10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 i think its time to take mccarty out of the lineup and put hudler on the 2nd line and put cleary on the 3rd and bump maltby back to the 4th. zetterberg - datsyuk - holmstrom hudler - filppula - sammy cleary - draper - drake maltby - helm - hartigan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NHLrules? 32 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Seeing what happened at the end of the regular season when we shuffled lines......... Id keep things the same. The team looks worse and scores even less when the top line is split up. Make no mistake guys we are in trouble if Franzen doesnt come back nowish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluedevils_13 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Lines A: Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Hudler-Filppula-Cleary Maltby-Draper-Abdelkader Samuelson-Helm-Drake How much harm could Abdelkader do on a line with Maltby and Draper? Plus We can throw him with Drake and call it the watch the F**K out line! They said they got Drake to mentor Kopecky, well it's Abdelkader who Drake should be mentoring. I know Sammy gets a lot of s***, but I only want him on a different line because it is very apparent HIM AND FILPPULA OR CLEARY DON'T HAVE CHEMSTRY, and YES that is a big deal. Lines B: Samuelsson-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Hudler-Datsyuk-Filppula Maltby-Draper-Abdelkader Drake-Helm-Cleary A line like Hudler-Datsyuk-Filppula would just be cool, hell Helm even deserves a spot on a top line. Maybe Cleary-Zetterberg-Helm? Realistically, I think Samuellson could be effective with a guy like Holmstrom on the ice to get in front of his shots.

Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Hudler needs to move up and Abrakadabra needs to play in place of DMac. I had a bad feeling about game 5 anyways, but the Wings WILL win game six. No way this thing gets dragged out any further. This team is too good to lose 4 in a row - so lets stop freaking out. Have some confidence in our boys. Edited May 18, 2008 by Yzerfan1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
