RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 First and foremost I love Babs and I think he's a great coach. But sometimes his line choices are mind-boggling. Tatar on the 3rd line and Abby on the 2nd? How is it not the other way around? How much more does Tatar have to do to prove that he at least deserves a spot over Abby? I just don't understand Babcock's logic sometimes. I will continue to support him, but to me it just doesn't make any sense.It is not that difficult really. Babcock stresses defensive responsibility and that is not a strength of Tatar. He is prone to turnovers in the offensive zone. I really like how Babcock uses Abdelkader to energize the top 6, a top 6 that has otherwise looked a bit slow and tired aside from Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 Need size and strength on each line. Abby has been great all year. Tatar doesn't match up well against top 6 talent he's best suited for the 3rd line. Good for him and good for the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 It's far from a must win game, but Howard needs to get some mojo back. Gus can't have more wins then Jimmy, just shouldn't happen. He should shut the door tonight and we should win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 Great shift for the tatar line We never should've signed Weiss is Babs is gonna play him with Cleary and Samuelsson, it's a waste of his talent. That line just gets trapped in the ozone because Dano and Sammy can barely move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
