wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 After watching last nights game, I was reminded why ZDH is the best line in hockey. Every single one of their shifts were perfect... great forchecking, great back-checking, great chemestry, etc. I truly think it is a huge mistake to keep Zetterberg and Pavs away from each other therefore I think Babs needs to keep that as the top line for the Red Wings. I mean, their first shift last night they got a dang goal, and just kept at it all night... they are simply at their best when they are together, so lets keep it that way.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Now we just need Babs to follow the rest of my preseason advice. Cleary/Hudler/Hossa and Franzen/Filppula/Samuelsson as the second and third lines, with Maltby/Draper/Kopecky rounding out as the fourth line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingslionstigers 12 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah its about time. Z and D hold onto the puck and are so much more patient in the offensive zone. Hossa likes to shoot at every chance he gets, hes never gonna pass when he has a chance to score himself. Z and D will ponder around looking for that for a real scoring chance for 40 seconds or so before they take a shot if they have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the Wings can certainly put together quite a few effective line combinations, imho, only ZDH is greater than the sum of its parts. A case in point: ZDH > Z + D + H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzermania 156 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 yah and I like having hossa and mule together, two big bodies with great hands. After being reminded last night how great they are together, I don't wanna see ZDH apart again, they are too ******* dangerous to split them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A case in point: ZDH > Z + D + H always puts a smile on my face to see that goal. also glad that babs finally gave in. the way it was meant to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 ZDH were born to play together. Best line in hockey, one of the best in history. I hope they stay together, they may be what we need to get focused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really believe Babcock has been "following your advice"? I'm pretty sure every man and his dog suggested the ZDH line during the preseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey 145 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 What I'd like to see, and I'm loving the return of ZDH... ZDH Franzen-Hossa-Cleary Filppula-Hudler-Samuelsson 4th line mutable as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Franzen and Hossa are both great goal scorers, need Flippula on that line to set them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Franzen and Hossa are both great goal scorers, need Flippula on that line to set them up. I agree with that. ZDH as the first line. The Equine Line as the alternate first line. (Because any line with Hossa can't be called a second line.) Too bad we lost Lang. Huds, Lang, Hossa would have been an unintelligible force against the vast majority of teams in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
