You have 4 players for 2 spots, what do you think: Maltby, Kopecky, Helm, Leino. I'd go Maltby and Helm. Lidstrom Rafalski Kronwall Stuart Ericsson Lebda Osgood Not Bad at all!!

I think you are right on. The last two spots will be to two of the following: Malts, Kopecky and Helm imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drwscc 212 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 I think you have to get Leino into the lineup as well. Give him some incentive to stick around next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian_Yzerman_Fan 7 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Helm is a given, the coach has said so himself The last spot will be a toss-up between Kopecky and Maltby... but I'd think Maltby will go in because of his veteran status - Kopecky hasn't played a post-season game and Babs said the other day that he expects to see a new side to certain vets instantly once the playoffs start because that's what they live for (specifying Maltby, Draper, Osgood) Game 1 is big for nerves... I don't expect to see Kopecky until game 2 or 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xBrave_Heartx 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 Kopecky,Malts, Draper I think they'll give Helm to GR until they get tossed.. They will treat the Core players the way they did last year.. Until someone makes to many mistakes.. Like Hartigan did last year.. Helm will come in once Kopecky stops playing with any heart. Last game Babcock said that playoffs is Maltby,Osgood,Draper time of the season.. So that really hints torwards he trusts Maltby in the playoffs.. Also i wouldn't be SHOCKED if Helm started over Kopecky, Since Kopecky has barely any Playoff experience and Helm has the run last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) But to be fair, Hossa needs pavel to be the "hossa on fire" guy we wanna see... On the offensive end. On the defensive end, no disrespect to Hossa, but when your opponent has a prolific scorer like Rick Nash, we all saw what happens to them when they get enveloped by Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Lidstrom and Rafalski. Separate Pav and Z on the Power Play. Edited April 13, 2009 by titanium2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
