I dont mind the look of our Forwards at all...I have a lot of faith in Nyquist and Brunner.

Franzen - Datsyuk - Brunner

Filppula- Zetterberg - Nyquist

Bertuzzi - Helm - Samuelsson

Cleary - Abdelkader - Tootoo

13th/14th/15th -Mursak/Emmerton/Miller (someone needs to be traded)

Eaves - LTIR

I really like that lineup.

I for one, absolutely love this signing. He will bring a physical presence to that the Wings have needed for a while.

I think I am boycotting the Wings.  Yep, I don't want this team.

then go.

Franzen - Dats - Parise/Semin
Flip - Z - Brunner
Cleary - Helm - Bert
Prust - Gaustad - Eaves/Abdelkader

Kronwall - Sutter
Quincey - White
Smith - Ericsson/Allen
Carkner

I would be so stoked if that is the team we start the season with.   Wowzerz.

Parise - Detroit
Suter - Detroit
Semin - San Jose
Parenteau - Montreal
Schultz - Edmonton
Whiteny - Carolina
Jagr - Philadelphia

Brodeur - New Jersey
Ryan Smyth - Edmonton

get it done Kenny!

I know this doesn't answer your questions, but whenever I go to a game, or any event for that matter, I always carry my " I SNUCK IN" sign...looks hilarious when seen on tv...or maybe its just me

Love how Conks is making most people on here eat crow. Absolutely loving it.....

Go Wings Go!

now that Brunnstrom is officially in the mix...

my lines would be...

Franzen - Zetterberg - Filppula

Hudler - Datsyuk - Cleary

Abdelkader - Helm - Bertuzzi

Brunnstrom - Emmerton - Eaves

Holmstrom
Miller

Lidstrom - White

Kronwall - Stuart

Ericsson - Kindl

Commodore

Howard
Conklin



your 2012 Stanley Cup Champions

im thinking Emmerton is a lock to make it...

I also think that Brunnstrom has done very well and will get a contract...  

so im thinking the opening day line up will look something like this...

Franzen, Zetterberg, Filppula

Cleary, Datsyuk, Eaves

Abdelkader, Helm, Bertuzzi

Hudler, Miller, Holmstrom

Emmerton
Brunnstrom

I also think that Emmerton and Brunnstrom will get ample opportunity to get on the main roster, especially if Hudler under-performs

I'm pretty excited to see how Jurco and Smith look in camp.

I am very  excited to see what Jurco can do in camp as well.  I think this kid will be on the Wings roster sooner rather than later.

I am also stoked to see what Tvrdon can do.  I think he is a very underrated player and will soon be a big part of the Red Wings.

just when I thought he couldnt  possibly get any classier...

I really don't mean to make this a Hudler thread... but Mursak has to earn a spot in the lineup first. And beyond that, the Cleary/Zetterberg/Hudler and Cleary/Datsyuk/Hudler lines were absolutely DEADLY combinations last season. So how about we start with:

Hudler/Datsyuk/Cleary
Franzen/Zetterberg/Holmstrom
Brunnstrom/Filppula/Bertuzzi
Mursak/Helm/Eaves

OR

Hudler/Zetterberg/Bertuzzi
Filppula/Datsyuk/Franzen
Cleary/Helm/Eaves
Brunnstrom/Abdelkader/Holmstrom

The third line here is basically a ramped up version of the fourth line in the previous lineup. This lineup also allows for less even strength time for Homer while still keeping him in an effective role; his line has some offensive talent but can be used as a checking line as it is anchored by Abdelkader. I would expect, though, to have something closer to the first lineup but with Abdelkader instead of Brunnstrom.

yeah those all look like good combos to me.  I just have a feeling that Mursak is going to be a lot better than most give him credit for, and will eventually make his way up onto the 2nd line.  We shall see I guess....
