Ok, my dilemma is at forward.

Dressed for sure: D. Sedin, Jarome Iginla, J.P. Dumont, Dustin Brown.

Tentatively dressed: Ryan Malone (@ TB), Pavel Demitra (vs Chi)

Scratched: Daniel Briere (vs Buffalo. 3 points in his last 10 games, but 2 assists in his last 2 games), Peter Forsberg vs Vancouver (Looks like he is playing).

Malone has been on fire, but will Crosby coming back mess up the lines? Demitra and Briere is where I am really stuck. Thoughts?

Malone will either be on Sid's wing, or Malkin's wing.

I'd still dress him.

I hate Briere so don't dress him, lol.

I guess D. Sedin should be tentatively dressed as well. He has done nothing in a while.

After the way Briere has played in the second half of the season, the Ales are seriously considering a no midget policy for next season.

Fwiw, some guy is reporting that Crosby is skating with Dupuis and Talbot tonight. That means that Malone will stick with Malkin and Sykora.

Therrien is notorious for flipping his lines mid-game a lot, though.

More input needed. 7 est deadline.

I would scratch all of those guys and start:
Olesz FLA
Zajac NJ
Ryder MTL
Hudler DET
Pavelski SJ

BClark COL
Ohlund VAN
Keith CHI
Aucoin CAL

hope that helps!

Whenever I go with a "hot hand" I usually get screwed. I would go with Briere, that way if you get Versus you can watch him. He's playing his old team, maybe he'll get fired up again.

I have been extremly happy with most of my trades.

The Malone trade I regret and I feel will cost me a playoff spot. The trade made sense because I had a lot of forwards going good at the time but after the selloff of Jokinen and Rolston and the injury to Cleary, Malone would of been valuable.

Malone is a no-brainer for tonight. Toss up but I would lean toward Briere

BTW, I am home sick today watching an absolute cracker of a futbol match. Arsenal and AC Milan are scoreless but it has been anything but dull

To be fair to you, he was doing nothing when you traded him. You were also very thin at D compared to forward.

since it appears you are ignoring my first reply, I will try again.

Start Malone and Briere.

Briere will cover my Prospal points.

Wish I could start Hossa to cover your Malone.

arsenal and man u are the 2 best teams in europe this year ainec, we just dispatched milan and were excellent value for the win. i really hope we dont get drawn against man u as i think it would be the best final. so pleased to be an arsenal fan right now.

as for the choice, briere would get the start for me. watch for zajac to have a big night too. that parise line is due a break out.

Zajac isn't going anywhere near this lineup.

I am going with my opponents advice, Briere over Demitra.

Crosby is like cancer to Malone's numbers. With Malkin he has been great, but if they move him back to Crosby's line expect... well, nothing.

be quiet you.

you just couldnt wait 6 more minutes?

I know, it doesn't make any sense, but it is true.

Malone is sticking on Malkin's wing, at least to start the game, fwiw.

Yeah, which for all parties involved, I hope Malone has a big night to shut up some criticism.

So far:

Demitra - 1g
Malone - Nothing
Briere - Nothing

Bugsy is playing well, though.

Both his line, and Sid's line have been getting a ton of chances.

tell malkin and sykie to put a couple in, i am getting killed tonight whilst the guys on my bench are killing it.

briere didnt play in the end, doh!

sorry about that Rich, I really didn't know he had a bum shoulder

ditto!

looks like your gonna beat me anyway.

No apologies, there wasn't info about it anywhere.

This was a gem.

So if Adam offered you Kane you'd decline?
