Red Crazy 201 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 After this game I don't think that it would be wise to change either ZFC or the FSH lines they seem to be playing great. But I think we all agree that something has to change with Pavel and Hossa cause we need these guys on the score sheet every night. So I will put out this question to the experts on LGW.... Who and why? But remember bring somebody up and you have to take one off. I say give Leino a try because he will be hungry to get some time and he has a scoring touch the line could use right now. On the down side I would say to sit Abby. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ComradeWasabi 109 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Those two should be split up, both are slumping. That said, splitting up our other two scoring lines doesn't seem to appealing so we're stuck for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Hudler-Filppula-Hossa sounds like a really appealing line to me.. but more realistically I think maybe giving Helm a chance to play with Pav and Hossa could produce some good results. Not that I expect many changes after a 5-2 win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 There's no way to get these 2 players scoring without splitting up the Zetterberg line. Babcock needs to find the ideal line combos where all these players are not going on long stretches without scoring. So far he's been unable to do it because Pavel and Hossa and even Homer haven't scored in what seems like forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Franzen - Z - Cleary has to remain intact. Hudler - Helm - Hossa was a nice line in game 7. Homer - Pavel - Sammy? Leino - Pavel - Sammy? Whatver is left over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xBrave_Heartx 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 Here is my solution.. Val - Dats - Homer Cleary - Zette - Franz Hossa - Helm - Hudler Abdelkader - Draper - Homer That way Dats can control his line, Z can control his, and Hossa can control his. thats my solution.. but tbh we won. almost got our free arby's too.. heh, im not complaining as long as we win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatver is left over. Read my post above and read my other post in the topic about Sammy as far as giving him more responsibility. He doesn't belong on the top line, and neither does Homer right now. Hank's line has to be split up, not because they're playing poor, but because our other top 3 forwards are nonexistent right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put him and Leino/Sammy around Pavel. Then let Draper/Abby/whoever play on the 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a shame because Flip's line has been doing so well too. But I definitely wouldn't want the Z/Mule/Cleary line touched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Zetterberg Datsyuk Cleary Franzen Flip Hossa Sammy Huds Homer Abds Drapes Helm These are the best lines. Z&D need to start clicking again. Hossa needs to be away from Z&D. Homer is good, he just can't match up 5 on 5 with the opposition's better defenders. I think this 3rd line would perform well as they all play better when they're off the top 6 for even strength. Then you have your bang line which has energy and can chip in a goal once in a while. Helm can make awesome single plays once in a while but he isn't experienced enough to be on a goal scoring line. This lineup just screams depth and balance.

Bannedforlife 403 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 No s***. This is my one true pet peeve on this website. Not the conspiracy theories, not the Crosby hating, not the extreme bi-polar panic threads. Its the morons who create unnecessary nicknames/abbreviations for every single player and line on the team. Go Z! Go D! Go L! Go R! Go E! Go H! Go H! Go H! Go H! Go F! Go C! Go K! Go O! Go F! Go F!

Yes, Z instead of Zetterberg or Sammy instead of Samuelsson, those make sense and everyone knows what youre talking (er, typing) about. But Drapes? Helmer? Bear? Thats just doing it for the sake of it and/or attempting to look clever by coining a new nickname. Its unnecessary and irritating. Im sorry, I had to get it off my chest.

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 You can't break up the Cleary - Z - Franzen line (again). Mix and match whatever else you want, but that line is dominant both ways. Z/Pavel together won't outplay that line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
