Its REALLY early to talk about this. Guys are just starting to hit their groove and the road game will come. They are team that can make adjustments when it counts so I am not worried at all!

lol...I hear ya on Budd lynch, but to me, anyone over the age of 85 gets a pass!

Unless its Smith, Brown or Jones, Don Cherry cant pronounce it but you'd think after having a guy on your team for 6 years, Babs would learn how to say Fil's name correctly! Heal quick Filly-poola

Collective phew! I was totally expecting the " Out 4-6 weeks". He has had such an awesome season, I hope that this does nothing to knock him off his stride!

Thinking of Ken and his family

As soon as you said this, I thought of Eva, probably smiling from ear to ear...and lo and behold! lol

Semin's name fits him perfectly!

<br />Are you F'n joking? Do you watch the games? <br />He's had a slow start and Z had a BRUTAL giveaway two games ago...but EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ON THE ROSTER gives it away once in a while. How can you honestly write that he is invisible every game- six points in the last 4 games doesnt really seem like he isn't relevent, especially when you fail to mention that Datsyuk went through a very similar drought at the begining of the season. I love how posters will make these ridiculous statements about players of Zetterbergs caliber.<br />You may not think he should be the next Captian of this team so just say that- dont make stupid and ignorant suggestions that he's not visable or relevant. He's worth his paycheque...every penny.<br /> <br /><br /><br /> There's a difference between being bad and being "Datsyuk bad". Zetterberg has had maybe three decent games in the last twenty-two and you wanna argue the fact that he's been invisible? Stop riding him and take an unbiased look at how things are. And to call my post a "stupid and ignorant suggestion" because we don't see eye-to-eye is probably a testament to how low your quality of life is. And for future reference, what I posted wasn't a "suggestion" it was an opinion. And if you're comfortable with paying six million a year for a player who's on pace for forty-eight points then I'm sure there's a Montreal forum you should be on: let a lone the captain of the Wings. WOW! Ok, first off, I have a very happy, well rounded life bud...there was nothing personal in my post so grow up- there is absolutely no need to say I must have a low quality of life because I don't see eye to eye with you. You wrote that Zetterberg was irrelevent and invisible and I agrued that you CANNOT be invisible if you scored six points in the last 4 games. This is the definition of invisible: n·vis·i·ble    [in-viz-uh-buhl] adjective 1. not visible; not perceptible by the eye: invisible fluid. 2. withdrawn from or out of sight; hidden: an invisible seam. If you can find something that definition that says anything about Zetterbergs game, well...I don't think you can because (once again, pushing the echo putton) He ISN'T INVISIBLE. He is not going to score 48 points this year..both you and I know that....and I don't give a shat what he is on pace for. He had a very slow start but he has been very strong the last 4-5 games and seem to have found his offensive game. Lastly, you state that he has had three decent games this year? Huh. I think you should perhaps look up this word: ex·ag·ger·ate (g-zj-rt) v. ex·ag·ger·at·ed, ex·ag·ger·at·ing, ex·ag·ger·ates v.tr. 1. To represent as greater than is actually the case; overstate: exaggerate the size of the enemy force; exaggerated his own role in the episode. 2. To enlarge or increase to an abnormal degree: thick lenses that exaggerated the size of her eyes. v.intr. To make overstatements.

Actually she does. She has supported Dats and many other Red Wings at the Red Wings Training camp for 10+ years. He says hello when he sees her to note how supportive she and her family have been to him.

I think he has been solid. Everytime I look at Wisneiwski, who everone wanted here, I an F$#$#@! happy that we signed E!

He IS the next captian...I cant see them giving it to anyone else!

Ok, I tend to avoid line change topics and threads because I always think the coaches get paid all of that money because they KNOW better. I gotta say, right now we are dismal! I have been a Wings for for 28 years and I havent seen or talented offensive guys and our PP struggle since the early 80's. I think a few guys need to sit and a few need some REAL chances- not brought up for 1 game and then seen as a disapointment if they dont score on the third line. If I was Babcock tonight, here is what i'd do to try and spark this team Mule Pavs Hudler Flip Z Bruno/ Nyqvist Helm Cleary Eaves Miller Emmerton Abby With tonights game, I think I'd play Bruno because he is a bit stronger than Nyqvist. Gustaf is still a slight guy who is probably not used to what SJ can bring physically. Pavel needs some linemates and although the Frazen Flip and Z line has been great..especially Mule and Flip, Pavel is never gonna work himself out of the funk with friggin Homer who cant skate and he has histically played well with Huds. Cleary sucks right now and he may be an asset on the thrid line. The second line is interesting because Bruno is bigger than anyone thought he was BUT Zetty better be prepared to backcheck because he sometimes isnt hard enough on the puck. This that being said, I would love to see this line play a few games.... Our third line with Cleary really rivals any 3rd line in the league I think and the 4th line can do some damage as well! Thoughts?

Hmm, well thats a shame Gustaf 5"11 184 lbs Brunno 6"1 206 lbs Seeing them live, you can actually tell Fabian is stronger and has filled out and Nyqvist still hasnt made that leap yet

Jesusberg- You have "finish" bro because this is exactly what I was trying to say....its not working so lets try something that is! TY!

Totally agree! I think he is playing some of the best hockey in his career- He made some stops in this Socal trip that made my jaw drop!! Way to go JIMMY!!!!

This X 100000!!! Crymson seems to have a man crush on Cleary, thinking he can score like OV and win the Selke too.... but I dont think its a coincidence that Pavel has been fantastic the last two games after being rid of the Cleary albatross around his neck.

You are correct!!!!! Talking about Bruno and Cleary is hilarious because they are different players with different talents. Bruno is trying to get a shot and Clearly has already had his. I would suggest that Cleary is a perhaps a high second or third liner.... NOT an offensive juggernaut that should play on the same line as Pavel Datsyuk. We know that both Bruno and Nyqvist have a ton of potential...and if the other guys arent doing it, give a young guy with alot of potential offense a chance. BTW, You constanly seem to have to critique every posters opinions that differs from yours....and that is fine...but I dont give two scoops of shat what Cleary did 3.5 years ago in the LAST shift of one game...Bruno paced for 60+ points in 2006...and I dont give a shat about that either. Cleary isnt doing his job and hasnt all season so step aside and give a young guy a chance...That is what I give a SHAT about!!!!!

I dont understand why CLEARY is so hyped when he cant even score in the NHL ....on a line with Pavel no less

Does that mean I have to use that thread?

No. Hudler is kickin' ass and taking names right now. He is playing the best hockey since we won the cup...so OF COURSE we should put him on the third line

Well besides Lidstrom, is there a single D-Man that doesnt make at least one error every game??

I have LOVED this guy from the beginning and really thought that he would earn a job here....for some reason, i think it was meant to be!! I really like this kid!!!

Then actually, we completely agree because I think ML is all sorts of nasty!!!

I love ya on the boards Eva but can you ever go more than one post without talking about HUDLER? I like Hudler but you make me even a little bit sick of the guy!
