Hank, Mule, Lindstrom and Kronwall is the best bet…” I’m sure the Twitterfolk already pointed this out, but I had to make it known. LINDSTROM? Sigh, Hollis, this makes me sad 🙁 Other than that, fascinating read. I figured that Rafalski would be a good babysitter for Big Rig. I’ve been to a few games where I’ve literally seen him bossing Rig around to tell him where to go. Less thinking, more doing. We kind of all knew this would be the key to getting Rig to play like a real D-man. And no matter which pairing is out, the PK seems to be a real problem. I hope our grades look better in the 2nd half.

Totally fair point and if I had more time, I would totally be tracking that. However, the disparity is noticeable in that last year, for the entire year, the most any group gave up was 4. We’re only halfway through the season.

Helm-Eaves-Lidstrom-Stuart is the top penalty kill line. I’d guess that that combination has about 10 times the PK time as say Helm-Hulder-Rafalski-Ericson. If you divided the number of goals against by the amount of ice time each combination has had, I’d bet the top combination would have pretty respectable numbers.

My gut says that Danny Cleary has been more effective in his time with Pavs and Z than Homer has, but I have no empirical evidence to back that up. I also think that Hudler makes any line he’s on worse than if a generic forward (Eaves, Miller) were on it.
