I already have 5 slots filled so we just need 7 more owners. If interested please PM me, thanks!

Sure hope the Wild can figure some things out tonight. Not really sure that I like the idea of Foligno skating with Staal and Fiala...unless BB thinks the Jets are going to be taking runs at Fiala. And putting Koivu between Zucker and Zuccarello just sounds like a big mistake as well. Not really sure what BB is thinking right now with his line combos. I would like to see these lines run out there tonight...

Parise/Staal/Greenway - Greenway has a tendency to pass more than shoot, so put him with 2 guys that won't hesitate to shoot.

Zucker/Kunin/Zuccarello - I like the idea of Zuccs passing to a streaking Zucs (confusing, ain't it) and Kunin chasing down the play to mop up.

Donato/Koivu/Fiala - both Fiala and Donato learn to play defense, which neither do. But if they happen to get into the offensive zone, Fiala can show what kind of playmaker he is supposed to be, and Donato can show he can be the snipper he needs to be.

Foligno/Eriksson Ek/Hartman - I just like this line. Solid for a 4th line. I think for offense, I would rather see Ek on the 3rd line, but we all know Koivu is not going to be playing 4th line.

Defense is pretty set, but I wonder if both Seeler and Soucy play tonight, to try and muscle out the Jets forwards. I'm a bit afraid of that idea, as I think quite a few of the Jets forwards would be skating circles around those 2.
