Guest mindfly Report post Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Watch out for that beachball cloutier! DETROIT -- Here is the Red Wings' lineup for tonight's preseason game at the New York Rangers (7 p.m.): Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Leino-Filppula-Ritola Ryno-Emmerton-Maltby Newbury-Abdelkader-Tatar Kronwall-Stuart Meech-Ericsson Kindl-Delmore Larsson Cloutier Veteran goaltender Dan Cloutier, in camp on a tryout, will make his preseason debut, likely subbing for Daniel Larsson midway through the game. Henrik Zetterberg, Dan Cleary, Todd Bertuzzi and Jason Williams are dealing with nagging groin injuries, nothing serious. Zetterberg and Cleary stayed off the ice and hope to skate and play later this week. Bertuzzi and Williams practiced Monday but aren't ready to play. “Maybe it’s 2-3 percent better today than Friday, so it’s going the right way,'' Zetterberg said. “Going to have a new evaluation tomorrow and we’ll see what that will bring.’’ He is hoping to make his preseason debut Friday at home against Toronto. Cleary said he hurt his groin in practice Saturday. He said no tests were needed. "I think we caught it at a good time,'' Cleary said. "Get some games in this weekend and be ready to go.’’ When it was mentioned that his entire line is out, Cleary said, "Yeah, I know Babs said it’s embarrassing.’’ “The Bertuzzi-Cleary-Zetterberg line hasn’t played together once in exhibition; eventually you’d like that to happen,'' coach Mike Babcock said. “Should be getting frustrating for them, it’s time to start playing.’’ Babcock predicted there would be groin issues with some players following a day off on Sunday. “You can’t give guys days off,'' Babcock said. "I don’t know what happens around here. Golf course wears them down.’’ The injuries gave Pavel Datsyuk a chance to play tonight, much to his delight. “Datsyuk came in here all cheery, but he didn’t know he had to go to New York until he got here so I might have wrecked his day,'' Babcock said Edited September 21, 2009 by mindfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jollymania 162 Report post Posted September 21, 2009 Delmore? I'll have the usual,please. (That'd be a hat trick) Can't wait for this game. According ot what i heard in the Philly radio broadcast last week he is now the worst player in the NHL because the philly color guy isn't in the nhl anymore.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted September 21, 2009 Sweet I can't wait to hear how Leino and Tatar do tonight. Here's how I'd put the lines together if this game wasn't about evaluating prospects and Babs just wanted the best lines: Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Leino-Filppula-Tatar Ryno-Abdelkader-Ritola Newbury-Emmerton-Maltby Kronwall-Ericsson Kindl-Stuart Meech-Delmore Larsson Cloutier PP1: Leino-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Kronwall-Ericsson PP2: Franzen-Filppula-Abdelkader Kindl-Stuart PK1: Datsyuk-Filppula Kronwall-Ericsson PK2: Franzen-Leino Stuart-Meech (Kindl and Delmore are terrible defensively, so Meech is the best option here) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
