DatsyukPwnz13 5 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 Me and my roommate were sitting outside before class today and got to talking about the Red Wings, like we always do. We started talking about who could beat the Wings in a 3 vs 3 game. The Wings team obviously being Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Lidstrom. We went through most of the league and could not think of another team that could stand up against us. The Pens would be Malkin, Crosby, then either Letang or Orpik. That team wouldn't stand a chance against the Wings. I think only the Blackhawks would really put up a fight with Toews, Hossa, and Keith. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyrme19 73 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 how are you so sure the pens wouldnt put up a fight? I certainly think they would. I would pay a ton of money to watch this either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 I think Martin is probably the Pens best d-man, but that doesn't matter. My real concern is, how long are these guys going to play. Everyone is going to be pretty tired after 2 min. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakKy 58 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 A while ago I would say Vinny, St. Louis and Ohlund would be a good match. Not so sure anymore. I think the pens group OP mentioned would be tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RusDRW 155 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 It depends. If we are motivated Dats-Zetter-Lids would win againts any "Crosbys". If not, and taking into account that 3 on 3 most likely to happen during the regular season, we are going to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted October 19, 2010 With the parity in the league, there aren't any teams that couldn't ice one hell of a 3-man unit that could compete with any other 3-man unit in the league... the part that would separate teams would be 3-man unit #2 and #3 Detroit's (lines are arbitrary, this is just to prove a point) 1 - Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Lidstrom 2 - Franzen-Filppula-Rafalski 3 - Bertuzzi-Hudler-Kronwall that's where I'd like our chances...

Tommy_Like_Wingy 25 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 Ovechkin - Backstrom - Green would be pretty incredible IMO Yeah but they would need a defenseman if they wanted to beat anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Anderson 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Yeah but they would need a defenseman if they wanted to beat anyone. Backstrom would play D obviously, with Green and Ovy as wingers. Edited October 20, 2010 by Dave Anderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mjtm77 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 How is he not the best defenceman in the NHL? Getting older and with that we are seeing more mistakes and bad turnovers. Lids may be top 3 in the league still. Heck he could even compete for the best defencemen this year but, saying he is clear cut number one defencemen in the NHL is being a bit of a homer.

Joseph Franks 17 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 I think our top 3 of Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom would provide a formidable challenge for any team, it's dumb to assume our top 3 is better than a lot of the top 3's out there. I will argue that our top 3 is better "Defensively" than just about any top three in the league, but there's a lot of firepower in the NHL right now. We'd break even in 3vs3 hockey. We wouldn't do poorly, but we certainly wouldn't win all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
