No Hudler? But he's the new Wayne Gretzky!

Wait is Kopecky really on the team?

I knew you were going to say that. Mostly because all throughout last year's playoffs you said after a couple of losses iirc. I think being a scorer is different though. You play more minutes and you have to tread the fine line of yin & yang as in know when to be aggressive and when to be patient and let the game come to you.

He needs like a girlfriend and a Rocky II moment or something. Woman says, "There's one thing I want you to do for me Tonight Show." Ville says, "What?" She says... "Win... Win!!!"

“It’s not always easy to just win battles. I’m not a player who’s a fourth-liner and just works hard every day and only can concentrate on that. It’s not my best thing. I’m more like (a scorer)." I know what he means by that quote but I can't help feeling like he just lost any support he might have had from LGW.

I just didn't know where else to put him. I mean, they're not really going to put him on the bottom six are they? Also, where do they rank with their dmen? I was thinking the other day that they at least rank 2nd on paper.

Oh you can do better than that and you know it.

Forsberg-Backstrom-Eriksson Holmstrom-Zetterberg-Alfredsson Sedin-Sedin-Hornqvist Modin-Pahlsson-Weinhandl

I see what's going on here. The Wings are getting all these injuries that will come back in time for the playoffs so that the Wings can bull their way through the playoffs, win the cup, and create the greatest story ever in NHL history. Yeah.

Yeah that wouldn't be good. Remember that one fan who blamed Pittsburgh losing on "the fact that the home team always supplies the sticks and equipment for the away team"?

So the only options are to boo or cheer?

Yeah. It's quite embarrassing. I know fans want to show their loyalty but that doesn't mean we have to boo him. They should be demoted to being Pens fans for that matter.

He doesn't hit like Helm or any typical North American checking player and so that will always be perceived as lack of a physical game. It's just the way it is. It's fun to watch him and yet frustrating at the same time. In many games this year he's been all over the ice making play after play but at the same time with nothing to show for it in the end as in no points. It's not for lack of trying though. Or intelligence. I think he has a good amount of both of those things. Some players just seem to have better puck luck about them and he just doesn't have much of that.

Bunch of hypocrites. If someone said that about an athlete they held in high regard they'd go crazy with a typical "us against the world" mentality.

Jollymania might be able to pm you a file link. He had a whole mess of hockey clips on his own YT site but then Bettman and the brass took it down.

EDIT: Ritola, relieves injuries naturally.

Malkin or Datsyuk?

These really help for some people.

Haha, are you a lawyer yet?

I'm guessing they will let him play so that someone can see him and trade for him.

And the Wings lost. You need to lose more if that's how it goes.

I like this one. 50 point season five... (raises hand)

None of them are labeled Lebda sucks thought.
