If there's one thing all of us can agree on, on LGW, is our hatred for blueadams line combo threads

I think it really brings us all together (and gets us drunk for those who participate)

Hatred? Not a chance! This is fun. If we hated them, we'd skip them.

The OP just doesn't want the Wings to lose Hudler. It's a fair concern since lately he's been reminding us why scouts sometimes use the phrase, "Top Six or Bust".

[donfishmaster]

While you're at it, why not make a "Scotty Bowmanesque" switch and move Pavs and Hank to D, Nick to Center, and let Hudler get some ice-time playing goal? Success would ensure your forever status as "BRILLIANT!!!"

Not to mention "LUCKY!!!"

Failure would put you in the running for the Matt Millen Award for Endless Ways to *uck Up a Team.

But the problem is that he's still too penalty-prone in the crease to really be reliable. And then when he's at net for probably a good 45+ minutes over the course of a game, it means trouble. Though at least designating Ozzy to serve his inevitable penalties would make him more useful than he is just charting lines on the bench.

I'm starting to think Homer in goal would never work. Just think of all the goalie interference calls he would get whistled for....on himself...

How about Lids in goal? He's always been known for perfect positioning...

"Homer" or "Holmer"?

This being the most memorable thing that happened not only on LGW, but in my life, in the last five years.

I just got a warm fuzzy feeling in my most innermost being, not to mention other areas.
The only suggestion I would make would be adding Parros as a goalie. His 'stache can be his backup.

4) Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves/Miller/Draper

Well, the only issue I see with this is with the fourth line. Eaves and Miller have been playing fantastic...actually that 4th line has been our most consistent line and bringing it every night. Babs has said so himself. In addition, these guys are monsters on the PK. IMO-I don't believe in creating an atmosphere where playing well gets you less playing time and rotated in and out of the line up. I think Babs made this clear by benching Hudler when he easily could have gone to the 4th line for a sacraficial lamb to give the Hud/Cleary/Mod line more time to get going. You play well = you play more. You play poorly = your going to sit and think about it until someone replaces you on the healthy scratch list. Not to pump our chest...but a great problem to have and any GM in the league would kill for this problem...deep, deep waters my friends.

I think you should incoporate Floyd Mayweather Jr in there somewhere. Gotta have an agitator like Maltby. One who annoys and then runs away.

All this is going to add up to nothing unless we re sign Sergie Federov.

I trust that line to Dr. Rahmani.

Would the second line be the Bernstein kids?

What about Bill Bonds or Carmen Harlan?

And how about including Robocop as the enforcer?
