Even still, I'm not sure what Anaheim's blueline pairs will be, but here's a guess at the G1 lineup:<BR/><BR/>Kunitz - McDonald - Perry<BR/>Bertuzzi - Getzlaf - Ryan<BR/>Moen - Marchant - Niedermayer<BR/>May - Mowers - Parros<BR/><BR/>Pronger - Kondratiev<BR/>Beauchemin - Hnidy<BR/>O'Donnell - Huskins<BR/><BR/>Bryzgalov<BR/>Hiller<BR/><BR/>I could go a lot of ways when it comes to blueline pairs, though. I put Drats with Pronger mostly so he could be babysat.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-30855943281080715972007-09-25T07:30:00.000-07:002007-09-25T07:30:00.000-07:00rudy your wrong...you were funny once again (altho...rudy your wrong...you were funny once again (although you should have ripped cloutier more)...sleek held back...yo sleek...give us the the proposed line-up for game one...along with defensemenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-85953628644465570532007-09-25T06:15:00.000-07:002007-09-25T06:15:00.000-07:00Giguere won't be playing either game, but I wasn't...Giguere won't be playing either game, but I wasn't counting Russians (Bryzgalov or Kondratiev) as Europeans. I'm probably wrong technically, but I think the overall point still is worth mentioning.<BR/><BR/>A game in London, England, starring a team that will play zero Finns, zero Swedes, zero Czechs, zero Slovaks, and zero Germans. I can't think of another NHL team where this would be true.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-33795452533102392672007-09-25T05:25:00.000-07:002007-09-25T05:25:00.000-07:00When you talk about no Europeans playing in the ga...When you talk about no Europeans playing in the games in Europe for the Ducks doesn't that assume Giguere plays both games - which is unlikely given his recovery from his hernia operation? Thus Ilya Bryzgalov (Russia is Europe - he's not from Asia is he?) or Jonas Hiller will play and quite possible both. Are they not both Europeans?The Puck Stops Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476848399356136470noreply@blogger.com
