wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted December 18, 2010 Hey guys, so I seen today that Babs has shaken the lines for tomorrow's game against Dallas and I really am unhappy with the lines because I do not think Franzen with Pavs ever works... he seems to slow Pavs down too much. Here is what I would like the forward lines to look like for a little while : Hudler- Datsyuk- Bertuzzi Homer- Zetterberg- Franzen Abdelkator- Filpulla- Cleary Eaves- Helm- Miller - I think Homer needs a break from Pavs and Hank and Mule have often played well together so I do not understand why Babs does not try this to get Mule going - Bert played really well with Pavs last season so, again, why not stick Bert with Pavs - Hudler has been looking better the last few games imo and nothign would get him going quicker then putting him with Pavs; I think this could be a really fun line to watch - The 3rd line would be a solid all around line with Fil and Cleary able to provide some offense - the 4th line is solid as a rock I am also tired of these D pairings so I would like to see a shake- up with that too: Lidstrom- Kronners Ericson- Rafalski Salai- Stu - Stuart holds up the top line too much when distributing the puck, I think Nick would benefit more having another puck mover/ physical presence like Kronners - I like Ericson and Rafi I think they are still getting to know where eachother are and stuff Stuart and Salai would be a solid 3rd pairing - each Dman would still get the same amt of ice time as now - Regarding goaltending, IMO Howard has not been good enough lately at all so I would like to see the start of a goalie rotation I am not saying these shoudl be permanent changes but I think these would be the best temperary changes to get everyone going on their top cylinders obviosuly when in comes playoff time, Pavs and Hank will be together no matter what but for now I think a chance like this would be good. What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 I still want to see Hudler/Helm/Holmstrom together. The Triple-H line. I know two of those players suck defensively, but it'd be awesome to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree! We should roll out more lineups alphabetically. To the OP, sorry I just don't really like your lines. The D pairings could work. I still want Pav and Z together, I don't even care who the third guy is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
