Here's how they'll start tonight:
Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom
Leino-Filppula-Ritola
Ryno-Emmerton-Maltby
Newbury-Abdelkader-Tatar
Kronwall-Stuart
Meech-Ericsson
Kindl-Delmore
Larsson
Cloutier
Yeah, it's big bad Dan Cloutier getting his first pre-season action tonight. Hopefully, Larsson stands tall in the first part of the game.
Four Wings are down with groin injuries. Zetterberg, Cleary, Bertuzzi, and Jason Williams are all sitting out because of "non-serious" groin problems. Let's here from some of them..
“Maybe it’s 2-3 percent better today than Friday, so it’s going the right way. Going to have a new evaluation tomorrow and we’ll see what that will bring.’’
Zata's gunning for Friday's game against the Leafs. Let's hope his injury keeps "going the right way". We need our future captain healthy for a full season.
How about you, Dan?
"I think we caught it at a good time. Get some games in this weekend and be ready to go.’’
Um...did you notice that your entire line is out, Dan?
"Yeah, I know Babs said it’s embarrassing.’’
Don't read too much into that quote, outsiders...Babcock was just being Babcock. He does joke around...sometimes. Just look at this:

Funny guy.
