That article fails to mention that Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Lidstrom, Rafalski and Howard are all being sent down to GR for the season.

Interesting to see that Babcock isn't continuing with his Stuart-Rafalski pairing.

Babs should use these lines when we play the Leafs next Saturday, and also when Toronto visits us on March 26th.

Rafalski isn't in the lineup for the time being. Neither is Kronwall.

Nice! Good luck to McCollum! I like the look of those 3rd and 4th lines.

Interesting Lashoff got the go before Smith.

Man our forward lines don't even look bad without ZDH...this pre-season team looks good enough to fight for a playoff spot in the east...

we've got so much depth its unbelievable...

speaking of pre-season I'm going to the Wings game at the ACC, October 2.
