Tonight's Lineup vs PHX
Khan(!) was lazier than usual today and didn't actually post the lines. He did say that Brad
May will replace Ville Leino tonight and Kronwall will be in for...(ready?)...Derek Meech.
Chris is probably out celebrating right now. He doesn't much care for Derek Meech, if you haven't quite figured that out yet.
So, as far as I can tell from putting the pieces of yesterday's line in practice coupled with Mr. Khan(!)'s half-hearted attempt to tell us who's playing where tonight, here are the lines/pairings for tonight...
Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary
Bertuzzi-Filppula-Miller
Draper-Helm-Eaves
May-Abdelkader-Maltby
Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Lebda-Ericsson
Howard (starting)
Osgood
In other news, Lilja was actually able to take contact in practice...from a 230 lbs Mule.
“I had Mule run me yesterday in practice. He picked up all his 230 pounds and threw it at me. My body hurt, but my head was really good. It felt real good.’’--Andreas Lilja
Don't think that Mule took it easy on him, either...
“He was seeing stars. He needs that, needs someone to hit him to get him ready.’’--Johan Franzen
Easy, boys.
