Lebda Questionable for Gm 1?
Brett Lebda didn't say so. Neither did anyone else in any official capacity today. But while Lebda shrugged off his absence during today's optional practice, I think we'll hear a bit more today about the very real possibilty that we could see Derek Meech in the lineup in Game 1. Babcock hinted at it today when he met with the media, suggesting rather cryptically (or accidentally?) that we'd see both Quincey and Meech in this series. I asked him about it afterward and he refused to elaborate. Ken Holland did the same. Lebda missed a chunk of time early in Game 6 and then didn't play the last 6 minutes. And I don't think it was because of his ankle. I think it's something new. But we'll have to wait and see what we learn Thursday.

Lebda Says He's Ready To Go
If you take everybody at their word today, the lineup will be identical to Game 6 vs. San Jose. The idea of skating seven defenseman was discussed prior to the last game, but Mike Babcock decided he'd rather dress 12 forwards and six 'D'. And it appears he's sticking with Kyle Calder, despite his limited ice time.
As for the Sharks, Todd Marchant will be in the lineup, and while he hasn't played in a month, it at least gives Randy Carlyle a little more confidence to actually throw a fourth line over the boards. (Probably with Brad May and Shawn Thornton, though Carlyle has moved May up at times to try to light a fire under Dustin Penner.) Marchant, who was probably ready to play at the end of the last round, played really well last year for the Ducks in their playoff run. And once he gets his legs under him, he could be a factor in this series.

I hope you're right. BTW, Wings just scored on their first powerplay - 1:0 Detroit. It was also their first shot on goal.

A huge penalty kill (with some luck). More than 1:30 of 5 on 3 and Ducks get only 1 shot on goal (not including the goalpost they hit).
