So, no Leino... bummer... then again, it would pretty much be a given that he'd get his first NHL goal against the Kings.

And Rich, why would you post the Wings lineup anyway? Don't you know that real Kings fans don't care? ;)

When Zetterberg is your 2nd line center, you've got a pretty good team.
