I'd much rather see Abdelkader and McCarty in the line up than an injured Sammy and Hartigan. I personally would go with: Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Filppula-Franzen-Cleary Hudler-Draper-Abdelkader McCarty-Drake-Downey I think those lines would give a pretty balanced attack. Two bonafide scoring lines, a third line that has extremely dangerous speed and potenially chip in some big goals, and a 4th line that can grind it out and provide some big hits. It also gives us three guys who can throw down the gloves if anyone tries the rough stuff with the Eurotwins. I really hope those aren’t the lines we end up using.
