Hopefully we will see Bert in this game.
I'm anticipating that the Red Wings hockey the hockey out of these guys.
wow...that's a pretty stout lineup. Starters + Newpower/Bliss. Guessing Soderblom rotates in next game to see if he holds up. This feels like the first pass at an opening day roster. Which would mean Edvinsson and Berggren seem to have an inside track. My guess is Veleno has a couple of games to push himself over Suter in the lineup or else he is going to GR once Copp returns.
Yeah, Wings are loaded for bear here. Hopefully we see smooth play of the new system and it's not a disjointed mess.
Guesses on the forward lines. I'm about 95% certain those will be the pairings. I expect to see heavy ES usage out of Ed's pair. They're going to test them.
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Raymond
Vrana - Suter - Perron
Zadina - Rasmussen - Kubalik
Berggren - Veleno - Erne
Bliss
Chiarot - Seider
Matta - Hronek
Edvinsson - Lindstrom
Newpower
Husso
Olkinuora
My fingers are crossed that he is the Soderblom placeholder.Can we just get rid of Erne please.

Suter/Erne should both be gone next year and in comes Kasper/Elmer/BerggrenFunctionally Erne is a placeholder, even if Soderblom doesn't make the cut this year. It's a matter of time.
