WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I'd like to see a game like the last one against them - minus the last 5 minutes. Just hoping they actually play instead of giving away the game like they did in Phoenix. Go Wings!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brett 1,029 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I like the first 2 lines and the 4th but that 3rd line is Zetta needs to step it up 3 games zero points -2. defense needs to step it up as well lets get a convincing win with less than 2 goals against! go wings!

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I don't actually mind that 3rd line so much. Hudler on the 4th just seems a little low, but whatever works. Its Babs so its not like these lines are permanent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjm502 165 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 ZDC, my favorite line! Just watch, they are going to dominate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I appreciate Homer, but damn Cleary is such a better fit now to play on a line with Pavel and Z. I hope they get some time together because that line could really dominate with those three clicking. Go Red Wings! Try and do some of that thing called defense.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 ZDC, my favorite line! Just watch, they are going to dominate. Well, Dats and Hank were absolutely terrible together against Phoenix, so I'm hoping we'll see considerable improvement tonight. That 3rd line looks a little scary, and I can't believe Hudler is on the 4th line given his play of late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

korrowan 111 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I wonder why they broke up the Hudler Dats Cleary line... it was working so well..hell they were our entire offense for a couple weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I wonder why they broke up the Hudler Dats Cleary line... it was working so well..hell they were our entire offense for a couple weeks. It's Babcock, no line lasts past a couple weeks. Plus, they had starting losing again and you can't have 1 line with all the production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
