Hank Dats 'N Homer 81 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Im still baffled as to why Ericsson is on the 1st pairing...I know we wanted to split of Lids and Rafs to strengthen the D, but putting an ineffective E with Lids doesnt make alot of sense to me. Kronwall should be with Lids and Big E with Salei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kronwall should be with Lids and Big E with Salei Babcock said it is to match up better with Getzlaf and Perry. Two big bodies. He said he will decide after the game if the pairings stay the same for future games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidstrom for life 20 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Im still baffled as to why Ericsson is on the 1st pairing...I know we wanted to split of Lids and Rafs to strengthen the D, but putting an ineffective E with Lids doesnt make alot of sense to me. Kronwall should be with Lids and Big E with Salei Babcock said he wants the extra size on the top pair against Getzlaf. Edit: Centerice beat me to it!

Kronwall should be with Lids and Big E with Salei If you look historically at Lids defense partners all all tend to have career numbers in both points and +\- sure he has been paired with some good players but a lot of that is Lids himself, that's just the thing to inspire confidence in a young E with budding potential. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
