Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 I'm telling you guys (and you too Babcock!): Abdelkader-Datsyuk-Homer for a game. Just watch. It's got pretty good balance, can give Abdelkader confidence and might ignite a scoring touch. Although I wouldn't protest Helm-Datsyuk-Eaves, either. I thought Abdelkader was terrific last night, one of our best players. Abdelkader-Datsyuk-Leino Abs deserves good minutes and I thought Leino looked good with Abs last night- they did spent a fair bit of time on the same line with the Griffins. Miller-Zetterberg-Cleary They joined forces in the third last night and looked effective. Miller's coming off his best game and deserves another shot to prove what he's got. Eaves-Helm-Bertuzzi Two speedsters with the big body who can shoot (well, sort of). Holmstrom-Draper-Maltby The veterans unite. Basically it's just a line of scraps.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Abdelkader-Datsyuk-Leino I think that's a pretty decent idea. I'd switch Miller and Bertuzzi though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait for the change. i don't think anyone knows.. but i'll guess sometime in the middle of december? hopefully. i'm wearing his jersey right now.. he better be back soon they need him. and i'd love to see the Abdelkader-Datsyuk-Leino line for at least one game.. they should give it a try.

Miller Brew 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Dats has looked average compared to what he's capable of. He seemed off with Zetterberg tonight too.. I wonder if he's nursing an undisclosed injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuck in socal 56 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 What was our top line when the season started? After ALLLL the injuries I have forgotten what the top line was . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icesurfer 75 Report post Posted November 26, 2009 What was our top line when the season started? After ALLLL the injuries I have forgotten what the top line was . It was Homer, Datsyuk, Franzen. I think Homer and Datsyuk ARE nursing injuries..... the last 5 games they have not looked their normal self..... despite Bertuzzi. And I think that is why Babcock is NOT removing Bertuzzi from that line is because someone has to protect them so we don't lose ANOTHER player..... can you imagine if we lost Datsyuk now..... might as well not play the games.....
