Uncle Mike Makes His Move

According to the Anti-Digger, the top line’s staying intact.  The rest?  Shuffled.

Jiri Hudler will be on the second line tonight where he played most of Game 5. Mikael Samuelsson is on the third line with Kirk Maltby down on the fourth.

“I thought Draper and Dallas Drake did a good job on the forecheck, turning pucks over,” said coach Mike Babcock. “With Maltby on that line, he’s not as dangerous as Sammy. So that’s why I’ve done that. And that gives my other group (fourth line) two good skaters (Helm and Maltby). On the road, matchups aren’t as easy to get ... I want to have four groups at 40 seconds apiece, not six groups at 60 seconds apiece.”

Start drinking now.  Chelios may sit.

And Lilja may play.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977.  No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.  Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation.  There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
