Williams has been doing well since he came back from injury. Miller is probably more expendable, since this team has many lower line checkers and those guys aren't hard to find around the NHL. Also, Babcock loves that right handed point man on the PP thing.

That's not good. I can totally see us not showing up against Edmonton.

Hey, moron, try actually reading the person he was quoting.....you'd see it wasn't even me. In fact, try to find anywhere in this thread of me "turning against the team", except laughing at Filppula after the giveaway. Yeah, I'm sorry but you FAIL. Please go back to the cave you crawled out of and stay there.

Channel 773 on Direct TV says that it's Flames v Wild but when u turn to it it just shows the DirecTV logo on the screen. Anyone know what's going on with that PS This new board layout is annoying..

Why can't you just say it? Howard with some awful rebound control and Lebda overskating the puck with a Filpulla turnover.

somethings gotta changed with the defense. f*** whoever is blaming howard. first goal def went off of raffy unstoppable and fippula couldnt have made a better pass to ladd. pick it up boys

I think he has been very, very good considering he's been away for such a long time. Most of the time you don't notice him out there, and that's a good thing. He keeps it simple and doesn't pinch in time and again like certain other players. Ericsson should take a long hard look at the way Lilja plays.

Some of you guys are brutal. As long as he keeps in on the eastern conference I hope Ville does well. You could tell he had talent, just too frail. Maybe the softer east will suit him better.

yeah, his first goal with the wings was sweet too. then he fell off.

love it

Yup. I don't think Chicago necessarily played all that much better than the Wings. We had a more consistent attack (but nobody on this team can finish). We did have some pretty bad turnovers, but Chicago did as well. The difference to me has been Howard's terrible rebounds. The first goal was 100% a result of his inability to direct rebounds into the corner, it went right back into play (like it always does) and they capitalized. Can't blame him on the second goal. But there have been plenty of times in the first where Chicago gets more of an opportunity to do something because the first shot is kicked right back into the slot by Howard. He has played well this season, but rebound control is horrible by him, and most of his bad games are where teams capitalize on that.

There is already a thread going on about this. http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=63501 Check other threads before creating your own. It's on the same page too...

Got away with what? A clean hit? Because that's all I saw. Until they make the rule, this is a legal hit.

Is it really necessary to avoid admitting even in the least that you're a defensive pessimist who will turn on the team very quickly if they're not winning?
