Justin Abdelkader Back In Lineup For Red Wings
It's not like Mike Babcock is calling on Justin Abdelkader to act as the team's enforcer against the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 2 tonight. It's not like Babcock thinks his presence will deter Shane Doan, Ed Jovanovski and company from running at the Red Wings like he did in Game 1.
Nothing like that. If that's what he was looking for, Brad May would be in the lineup.
What he's looking for Abdelkader to provide, though, is more speed, more spirit and more ferocity.
