eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 have you every considered publishing your various novels? A little background on my writing experience; I used to be the editor of the sports section of my college newspaper as well as a sports columnist, and I also was a featured columnist as well as the Red Wings columnist on Hockeyjunkies.com until it went under. So the answer would be yes, and I actually have quite a bit of published work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Good question... Here's what I'd do assuming everyone is healthy: 5-on-5 Play: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Hossa Hudler-Draper-Cleary Leino-Helm-Kopecky/Samuelsson * Lidstrom-Kronwall {the pairings were much more solid when Lids and Rafi were split up this year} Rafalski-Ericsson {Could go Rafalski-Stuart, I just think playing with a rookie would settle Rafi down defensively} Stuart-Lilja {Again, if you go with Rafalski-Stuart for the 2nd pairing, Ericsson-Lilja is a real solid third pairing} Osgood {Keep Ozzy on a short leash, but he's still our only hope} Conklin Power Play: 1st Unit: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Rafalski 2nd Unit: Hudler-Franzen-Hossa Kronwall-Ericsson {Ericsson is a great point man on the PP in GR and does have a 100 mph slapshot!} Penalty Kill: 1st Unit: Zetterberg-Draper Lidstrom-Lilja 2nd Unit: Datsyuk-Filppula/Hossa Kronwall-Stuart/Ericsson * The fourth line is a tough call... because of experience/loyalty, I'm afraid Leino might sit... something that I'd recommend against, but then again, I'm not a professional hockey coach. I honestly think Leino brings more to the table than Helm, but Helm brings the right tools for the position they'd be fighting for- Helm is an energy player, Leino's a top six forward.

ladystanley 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Zetterberg-Datsyk-Holmstrom Franzen-Fil-Hossa Hudler-Draper-Cleary Leino-Kopecky-Sammy With Maltby/Meech Alter Lids-Rafalski Stuart-Kronwall Lilja-Ericsson/Lebda Chelios Meech Start Oz so when he screws up then Conks can take over for the rest of the playoffs. I say you start Conks and you have already lost Oz. But then again Oz might play better when he is NOT #1. hmmmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously when do the rosters expand? The beginning of the playoffs or before. I hope before we really need some looks at Helm/Leino/Abby/Downey, you know a few that will at least throw a check and another who is willing to actually play the game of hockey. Oh and maybe a goalie, hell just choose a fat ass fan maybe they will block a shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Not that I'm against the combination but why does Babs keep Pav and Homer together all the time? Is it simply a combination of the best offensive player with the best puck retriever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
