Bob Duff: Balance on back end paving path to success Since the insertion of Ryan Sproul, the Detroit Red Wings suit up three right hand defenders and three left hand defenders.

Actually not bad these last few games. Still need to bench Ericsson.

Interesting to see Frk in the lineup tonight for Carolina... he just took a penalty.

I'd like to see Mantha come up for a few games and then have Sheahan sit for a couple games and see what happens. Nice to see Larkin lighting it up tonight. 3-0 in the first period.

Ok We have AA going. Now to get MANtha up here. Get some help on defense and this team is set. Frk and Nestrasil suck by the way.

Vanek is looking good so far. At least on stat sheet. Only caught the Rangers game so far.

I was worried that superstars Frk and Nestrasil would be too much for the wings.

He's been a great fit so far. Works well with Helm and on the PP. Hopefully he can keep it up all year and turn out to be a bargain
