[zata40 3]

just got my feed the mule shirt too, right on time. GO MULE GO!!

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

YAYYYY MULE!!!!

[LidstromIsASuperhero 29]

Yeah I heard that too. They said he will be re-evaluated after the practice and if everything looks good he'll be cleared to play. The beef I have is that these tests will probably take forever for results looking at how things have been going, but hopefully I'm wrong.

[VM1138 1,921]

A 4-0 win without Franzen.

A 7-0 win with Franzen?

I believe!

[TheRedWingsWay 8]

Yay! Looking forward to the Mule kicking some Penguins

[Andy Pred 48 337]

The BIG question is, who'll Babs sit for the Mule to return?

[eva unit zero 271]

The BIG question is, who'll Babs sit for the Mule to return?

McCarty.

The bigger question is, does Franzen get inserted on the second, third, or fourth line?

That really isn't a big question. It's going to be McCarty and Babcock won't even think twice.

We will be unstoppable when Franzen comes back. Period.

I'm sure he'll be on the second. Here's what I'd do:

Holmstrom - Zetterberg - Datsyuk

Franzen - Filppula - Hudler

Drake - Draper - Maltby

Cleary - Helm - Samuelsson

I have a feeling that Samuelsson and Maltby will be flip flopped though after tonight's results. We'll see.

Sammy and Maltby were already flipped. Maltby was with Mac and Helm on the 4th. Sammy on the 3rd with Draper and Drake.

i'm sure babcock will leave sammy on whatever line hes playing on now.

Yeah, I know. I worded it wierdly. I meant that I would go with Drake-Draper-Maltby on the third line with Sammy-Helm-Cleary on the fourth, but I had a feeling that Babcock would stick with Sammy on the third because of his success tonight.

[Zata fan 40 6]

Good, we will need him despite tonight's big win..

There's no way Cleary goes on the fourth line, especially after scoring a goal. Hopefully that will get him going again. Hudler is good on any line and I thought he did the most damage on the fourth.

These would be my lines:

Homer - Z - Dats

Franz - Flip - Sammy

Drake - Draper - Cleary

Hudler - Helm - Maltby

[Dabura 12,207]

ZDH

Mule - Flip - Cleary

Sammy - Draper - Drake

Helm - Hudler - Maltby

Draper's line is money right now, so even if Mule is slightly rusty, it shouldn't have a big effect.

This si what id like to see:

Holmstrom - Zetterberg - Datsyuk

Franzen - Filppula - Hudler

Cleary - Draper - Samuelsson

Drake - Helm - Maltby

[marcaractac 3,963]

Franzen is going to go right back where he was, but I also think Cleary will stick around on that line as well. That would make another shut down line almost as good as dats/hank/homer. Hudler will go back to the 4th line again (where he played great anyway) and the 3rd line won't be touched.

Dats/Hank/Homer

Mule/Flip/Cleary

Drake/Draper/Sammy

Hudler/Helm/Maltby
