Samuelsson on the top line tonight - god help us all !

Keep Flip where he is, scratch Sammy where he belongs, put Bert on the 1st line (he played awesome last game) and speed up the 4th line with Tatar. Calder Cups don't mean s*** compared to Lord Stanley's Cup!

Tatar had a fight the other night. That's the same number of fights that Brendan Smith had this year. Doncha just love those ballsy guys who stick up for their teammates? Tatar and Smith...truculence dudes, plain and simple.

Until the Griffins get eliminated from the Calder Cup, we can't do anything about anything. We don't even have any Black Aces because of it, otherwise we'd have them traveling with the team right now (which Tatar would most definitely would be apart of). Sucks, but that's the price we pay for having both clubs make their post-season.

Sammy is staying on the top line as per Mlive.

Babcock said he'll start Mikael Samuelsson on the top line with Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, like he did Game 4, and then “see what happens.''

I think Sammy is a better option that Filppula... you know he had 0 shots and logged like 22 minutes of ice time? Why aren't there calls to sit him? At least Sammy is kind of hard to knock down... when a bunny sneezes, Filppula falls over

? Im not to sure how to take this, Flip played awesome the other night! His ability to take over in the defensive zone and move it out was almost Datsyuk like, he possessed well down low too but him an Franzen do stand out as having much chemistry without a strong 3rd, this Cleary is not. I also think Sammy would be a much better choice with Franzen and Flip, Bert would do a great job with Z and Dats and Cleary would be Cleary on the fourth.

As a fan of Sammy, it behooves me to point out that he scored.

I just wish that someone else had scored after he did.
