As the saying goes... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Plus Babs can do what he wants lol

Updated: I would have preferred Abby over JWill, but like I said keep the lineup as it is and go from there

Sad to hear this... No way possible that Williams brings more to the team than abdelkader.. Wings 4th line (I take it cleary-helm-eaves is the 3rd line) willl kill wings down the stretch.. just my gut feeling

I agree that Abby brings more to the table than Williams, especially as a 4th liner. However, I also understand keeping the lines due to the team's recent success. With that said, Williams better be on a (very) short leash.

The 3rd and 4th lines are our grit and guts. They'll be an asset. Cleary, Helm, Eaves and Miller are going to be warriors out there.

But williams is not gritty and has no guts so wtf is he doing on the team? Not enough skilled for top lines not enough grit/guts for 3rd/4th... :thumbdown:

Abdelkader will not make a huge difference either and since Williams has been playing more games than Abdelkader, it would be also bad for letting Abdelkader playing on the ice. The only concern I have is whether Babcock would still use him as the PP unit as the point shooter. I just think it will be zero efficeincy.

Further, our 3rd and 4th lines are not huge issues since Cleary, Eaves, and Helm are guys who can score in some time during the playoff. Our concern must be finding the way to beat Bryz. This series must be low scoring games in my sight, expecting a bit boring game by each. Most importantly, it would be the battle between Bryz and Holmstrom.

Our 3rd and 4th lines are just what I've always wanted, physical warrior guys. Miller was a man for Anaheim in the playoffs, so was Eaves, we've all seen what Dano and Helm do. Drapes is a vet, Williams sucks and should be out quick, and Abby and May can step in and do exactly what we need. Jesus am I ever pumped!

Babs says, "Lines are there to be kept together if they're going good and there to be changed if they're not."

Williams, you better play your ass off if you want to stay in the lineup.

This. I want Williams to do well and I get why he's still playing/his roles, but he just hasn't been producing lately. Hopefully he will be put on a short leash.
