[Motown4013 350]

sorry, no link attached but Helene St. James is reporting that Pavel is likely".......and if he is playing, they will reunite Pavs and Z. Also indicates that Howard gets the start. Abby, Cole still out. Most likely Ferraro will be in for Cleary. WOOT. Let's go Wings!!!!!

Need to keep Howard going

Need to keep Howard going

I agree. Which is why I think he should have started last game, after an uplifting shootout win.

[LeftWinger 4,961]

This is GREAT news if indeed he is in! Pav and Z together make a world of difference! Wonder who the other winger will be? How about Pulkkamania?

Z - Pav - Pulk

Nyquist - Weiss - Helm

Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco

Miller - Glenden - Ferrari

...I believe Helm will be up front, no matter, putting Pulk with Weiss/Gus, could be a good line too!

Lines have already come out...

Helm - Datsyuk - Zetterberg

Nyquist - Sheahan - Tatar

Weiss - Andersson - Pulkkinen

Miller - Glendening - Ferraro

[LeftWinger 4,961]

...oops, forgot about Andersson. Looks like a winning lineup, eh?

Weiss - Andersson - Pulkkinen

Miller - Glendening - Ferraro

I like the look of those lines. That 4th line has the potential to be a great shutdown line.

[kipwinger 8,524]

These lines are pretty close to what I'd ideally like to see. Only with Abby and Cole added in eventually.

[LeftWinger 4,961]

where's blueadams when you need him!?

[VM1138 1,921]

That third line looks like garbage, though. Blech.

Yeahhh but Andy hasn't been horrible lately.

LOL. Helm is like a cyst that Datsyuk can't remove no matter what.

He specifically asked for said cyst.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

He specifically asked for said cyst.

"Coach, please play me on the same line as that fast winger with stone hands who doesn't score"

If this is true, then Datsyuk doesn't know what's good for him (playing with Kovy in Russia).

According to some Helm is a top 6 elite scorer though, He deserves more time then Tatar and Nyquist.

It was the same song and dance with people bitching about Abby on the top line with him last season.

Datsyuk would be one of the league leaders in scoring every season if he had a legit winger on his line, not a Cleary, Bertuzzi, Helm, etc. Total waste of a guy's talent.
