Henrik Zetterberg clearly has a secondary role right now. It’s an interesting dynamic to follow this season—a contract year for Z. It’s not that Zetterberg doesn’t get plenty of opportunity or that he’s not centering a scoring line. But Zetterberg is the No. 2 center behind Datsyuk. Would you rather have Hossa and Homer as your wings every night or a mix of Hudler, Samuelsson, Filppula or Cleary?

Regarding Hank centering the 2nd line, I view it as a compliment.
Sure, he would have more success on the first line…
But as a coach, I might ask my best player to center the 2nd line, and over 82 games to make it as good as the first.

W2j2 hits the nail on the head.
It’s not unlike Colorado of the 90s. Sakic skated with the more skilled players, Forsberg made something out of Deadmarsh.

When they go down to block, you sometimes see players turn onto their stomachs instead of stacking their shin pads. I don’t get it. Isn’t the protection still mostly in the front? Why do players turn as Scuderi turned his legs?
