LidstromIsASuperhero 29 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I say we try something like this: Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen Hossa-Filpula-Cleary Samuellson-Helm-Homstrom Hudler-Abdelkader-Maltby This is basically stacking our top line to try and create an overwhelming advantage over them. The second and third lines still have a playmaker, sniper, and power forward or net front type player to make a complete scoring line. I figure samuellson's blind shooting will compliment holmstrom's blind net crashing and Helm's speed will balance out Homer's slowness. I understand the fourth line is about useless, but the way I see it we are basically a three line team right now anyway so two of those players are primarily special teams players and the other is a rookie, so as a complete line they will be used rarely. You could theoretically make a line out of both by switching Hudler and Samuellson but I think that would make the third line too weak defensively.

wingsdiehard13 33 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary Filp-Franzen-Hossa Holmstrom-Samuelsson-Hudler Maltby-Helm-Abdelkader I really don't mind this line-up at all except Hudler would be taking the draws instead of Sammy. I would also put helm on the 3rd line and move either Holmstrom or Samuelsson down. Hudler-Helm-Samuelsson Hudler-Helm-Holmstrom I think I prefer the latter, mainly because a Maltby-Abdelkader-Holmstrom line isn't very appealing. He can't deflect pucks anymore and he gets beaten in front of the net big time... the whole team is getting old and tired... Sounds a lot like the comments many people were making when we went into OT in game 5. We'll see you back on the bandwagon around.... Oh I'll say 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
