Line Combos: Line combos for Tuesday - Khan

[skinneh]

TAN-line will be the real 2nd line though.

I hope Mule doesn't start floating again.

I am worried about the Mule being with Datsyuk as well.. he has played some awesome hockey lately.. Hope he keeps it up!

 

[7r4n]

Miller has way more goals. Where's HIS icetime?

Hey I'm just giving you what Babcock said, don't shoot the messenger!

 

[last_sd]

Haha, if you're talking chemistry Datsyuk + Zetterberg will get it done. Remember in the first 20 or so games when they scored like 60% of our points (just made up that number). Too bad no other lines could product. But yes, Mule - Z - Nyquist was a great line as well. I also really like Tatar and Miller together.

Yeah when everyone is healthy we got a lot of good combos to work with

Lines/combos that "clicked"
D - Z - Bert
Franzen - Z - Nyquist
Nyquist - Franzen - Tatar
Abs - Helm - Alfe
Tatar - Andersson - Miller

Only players that haven't shown any kind of chemistry with anyone are
Weiss, Cleary, Sammy.

Z on line 1 and line 2? Boy he's gonna get tired

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Z on line 1 and line 2? Boy he's gonna get tired

He's not posting a lineup, just showing which lines clicked

 

[Frk It]

When healthy id go

Mule-Z-Nyquist
Weiss-Datsyuk-Alfredsson
Tatar-Helm-Abby/Miller
Cleary-Andersson-Abby/Miller

 

[Frk It]

My reading comprehension is on point today.

Gotta love Mondays

 

[The Zermanator]

Andersson should follow his line onto the PP.

I agree. He's so good at face-offs that he'd be an asset taking them in the O-zone on the PP. And he's pretty big so once he wins the face-off he can move to the net front.

 

[probertrules24]

Cleary on the PP is a joke. I mean really it's just inexcusable.

But at least Sammy's off the PP.

Babcock needs to give this man crush a rest. I bet if he was asked about why, he would cite Cleary scoring last game.

Babcock will give the rolling with the hot hand speach.

 

[last_sd]

When healthy id go

Mule-Z-Nyquist
Weiss-Datsyuk-Alfredsson
Tatar-Helm-Abby/Miller
Cleary-Andersson-Abby/Miller

Pretty good. I would try

Z - D - Tatar/Abby
Franzen - Weiss - Nyquist
Tatar/Abby - Helm - Alfe
Miller - Andersson -Bert/Cleary/Sammy

At least few games. If Weiss doesn't get it going, split up Z and D.

I forgot about Bert!

Ok perfect, swap out Bert for Cleary on my line 4

Z - D - Tatar/Abby
Franzen - Weiss - Nyquist
Tatar/Abby - Helm - Alfe
Miller - Andersson -Bert/Cleary/Sammy

I don't think the cost of keeping D and Z together is worth the depth you lose. If you can get similar production from a Mule-Z-Nyquist line while freeing up Datsyuk to center another line, you have try that option IMO

 

[7r4n]

Howard said he's starting tomorrow, as per Khan

Hopefully the team shows up to play in front of him, and he doesn't let in his typical softies.

 

[PureDust]

When everyone gets healthy and if Weiss still doesn't get it going. I think this could be an exciting line-up to watch... We'd have to make some cap space though

Z-D-Bert
Tatar-Franzen-Nyquist
Abby-Helm-Alfie
Miller-Andersson-Weiss
Cleary/Sammy

Kronwall-Ericsson
Dekeyser-Smith
Kindl-Lashoff
Quincy

Howard
Monster

is it worth the possible back injuries he might suffer bc of playing in harder position and during olympic year?

 

[JPE123]

Actually I like that 3rd line, the GR line. Great to see Pavs back

 

[InjuredChoker]

i like the third line, nice that babs is going to try the GR line.

but now the 2nd line is dump and chase line. without the speed to chase. and without the defensive ability to use as checking line.

well maybe they only get shifts in offensive zone.

 

[lilidk]

I think it is better to keep line Nyquist - Franzen - Tatar together

Bert- Datsyuk- Weiss
Nyquist - Franzen - Tatar
Abdy-Andersson-Alfy
Miler-2 who cares

Agreed but until Weiss decides to be a player and Z and Helm out, it's hard to come up with anything.

 

[drw02]

Weiss on the point will be a disaster. Dunno why Babcock refuses to give Smith PP time??? Besides Kronner and maybe Kindl he's our most skilled offensive defensemen.

I'm failing to see how that would have little to any impact on that at all.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

Howard said he's starting tomorrow, as per Khan

We need 6 goals to win now.

 

[InjuredChoker]

I'm failing to see how that would have little to any impact on that at all.

more stress, more skating at center. and bc of datsyuk's magic he wouldn't have to skate up and down the ice as much and/or play as much in d-zone as he would have to when centering his own line.

he played few games at center this year and he's back blew up right away, coincidence?
