Yeah, it just dawned on me today that while it'll be fun to have the Wings back, it will be without Lidas and Holma (what we call those two over here) and that just got me sad I'd like to know how many goals those two were in on together and how many goals that were disallowed just because #96 had his ass planted within 15 feet of the crease. There were PLENTY of phantom goalie interferences that I remember

Plenty indeed. If Homer was near the net on a goal the chances of it counting were wayyyyyyyyy less than a normal player. Not saying he wasn't at fault sometimes....but he definitely knew how to agitate and walk the line.

So, according to Babcock via St. James, the lines will start out as follows:

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Brunner
Franzen-Filppula-Samuelsson
Cleary-Helm-Bertuzzi
Tootoo-Abdelkader-Nyquist/Miller/Mursak

Tentative defense pairings are:

Kronwall-Ericsson
Quincey-Smith
White-Kindl/CC

Brunner's stock just went even higher. I definitely assumed they would split Datsyuk and Zetterberg to start. Wow.

Ericsson on the top D pairing ...yikes.

Was at the Griffins game today -- talking to a friend that works there.
Smith was the only Griffin called up for now.
Everyone in GR was surprised Nyquist didn't get the call.

Obviously it could change tomorrow, but thought it was interesting.

Oh, and Tatar looks good. Was everywhere out there.

I had no idea that Knuble was invited to training camp until I saw a lineup today. I had heard that he wanted to end up/finish his career there.

Some interesting guys on the Red Wings opening night roster. Brian Lashoff and Brendan Smith make the club, as does Jan Mursak. Mike Knuble, Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar are not on the roster.

Detroit takes on the Blues Saturday night!
