Miss Wing Queen 154 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 Freep.com is reporting Eaves will be out for Game 2 with a sore elbow. Williams will fill in for him with Helm and Draper. Hope the PK survives without him . . . Freep.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 Williams better show up. He's usually good for one decent game every couple weeks, so let's hope today is the day. Hopefully Eaves can heal up a bit, he hasn't looked a 100% yet in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 What the f*** is Babcock doing? Brad May should play. He'd come out hitting like a maniac and would give great energy to the 4th line. Williams and Draper are both useless, and will just hold Helm back. Worst checking line in the NHL right here and it should have been May Day on it to bolster it. 1 Green Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 Eaves hasn't done anything in the playoffs anyways. I'll take Eaves being relatively quiet over Williams every day of the week. Even when Eaves isn't really producing offensively, at least he isn't hurting the team in the process. Williams is typically always noticeable, most often not for the right reasons. Eaves is also very good on the penalty kill with Helm. Not that the Red Wings don't have other players to step in on the PK, but Eaves still brings speed and energy. I'd rather have Brad May than Williams half-assing it at this point. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 20 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) I think it will show us who the real coach of the Red Wings was... Babcock, or McLellan... Edited May 2, 2010 by Nero 1 Cheveldae32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 I think it will show us who the real coach of the Red Wings were... Babcock, or McLellan... Really? Personally it would take a lot more then one playoff series to prove that McLellan is a better coach then Babcock. I like McLellan too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 I hope we can win with 3 lines tonight. Because with Draper and Williams on the same line it'll be the Irrelevant line tonight. Poor Helm, and Brad May really deserves a shot, at least he'll hit somebody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruin the Red Wings by putting May on the 4th line instead of Williams, who doesn't belong on a 4th line? You're the one who has no idea what he's talking about apparently.

zettie85 106 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 I say that our top 2 lines play a lot better rendering our 3rd line irrelevant instead of it being that sharks that do it. Cleary, Franzen, Zetterberg, Flip and Bert all have to be better or we could have me in there in place of Eaves and it wouldn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
