T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 Looks great on paper, thats for sure. Anyone know about Bertuzzi's status of his back issue? That scares me, it was a season long issue a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mckinley25 677 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 Looking at those players it all comes down to the goaltending, imo. And staying healthy. It'd be nice to see Franzen have a full healthy season and keep our secondary scoring a serious threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From all the offseason reports and speculation the lines should be as following: Datsyuk - Zetterberg - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Bertuzzi Hudler - Modano - Cleary Miller - Helm - Abdelkader Lidstrom - Kronwall Stuart - Rafalski Ericsson - Salei Howard Osgood 2 PavelValerievichDatsyuk and dobbles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redwingfan19 293 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 correct me if im wrong but who will take that spot on the 4th line if bertuzzi, eaves, and draper can't go on opening night? Maltby?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 correct me if im wrong but who will take that spot on the 4th line if bertuzzi, eaves, and draper can't go on opening night? Maltby?? Could be wrong, but I imagine one of Abby/Eaves/Miller will move up to the third line and Hudler or Cleary will play in Berts spot.

If this is the case I hope Owens gets the nod. He looks like he'd be perfect for the 4th line and impressed in preseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Just updating with info from another thread. The defensive pairings to start the season will in fact be: Lidstrom-Ericsson Stuart-Rafalski Kronwall-Salei Anyone else remember that comment from Babs when he said, "We got six guys that can each play 20 minutes a night"? I doubt he'll actually do that but it seems like to him on some level it doesn't particularly matter what the lines are for the dmen, at least in a more long-term sense. It seems like he feels as if he will go by the matchup. LET'S GO!!!! If you want it you can get it let me know... I'm 'bout to f... Alright I'll stop there. I had to bust out a lil Lil' Jon, .
