Then why didn't he do that? He's FILP for f***s sakes! He is the main man, right!?!? Don't make excuses, the guy sucks at offense. Pav adjusted against MINNY with his backhand goal, and you guys try to compare Filp to Pay, so silly.

Could you be any less objective towards your mancrush?

And there's your boy Filp.

This was about as overdue as the Penguins first goal.

Haha.

Great another PP, hope we stop giving up shorthanded chances...

Dumping it in and then having them complete a breakout is different than Filps passes to start their breakouts. If he isn't a g-d why do you treat him like one?

That was the right call. Never crossed into the zone...

Filps pass results in a breakout again (Though the idea there was good). Stuart, where the heck are you aiming?

I'm not just wrong. And what I said had NOTHING to do with anyone else. I never said he is the only one. But this is why people complain about him, he's supposed to be better not be like everyone else. Why can't you see that? Why do you always go there? Like when you compared Filps to Dats? Or worse, Leino being benched to your idea that Dats should be too? Dude, you're argument's hold no water. Filp was the cause of that last rush to end the period. He passed it out front instead of being patient and waiting for something to develop. Watch him play.

Seriously, for every great pass Filp might make, he makes two to no one that results in a breakout for the opposition. He really frustrates me, I know some of you totally disagree but oh well.

Why are you guys so surprised by this? When do we ever show up at puck drop?

Why can't Draper just pass the puck one time when he's on a 2-on-1?

When you say things like this, it begs the question, are you either completely moronic, or a troll? You basically compared Leino's struggles to Datsyuk's (which have been there, but he's still producing). Why don't we just bench Franzen too, send him a message that he hasn't produced enough goals from the training room? Unbelievable. Unless, of course, you are actually Filp, then this all makes sense. I'm new to this board, but I notice you jerking Filp off a lot, and it's beginning to get uncomfortable to be around. (So why don't you leave, dude?!?! -- That's what you want to say, right?) Filp is solid. Not flashy. He can finish about as well as Draper in his prime. Let's not go overboard. Filp is good at backchecking and defense, yet who wins Selke's? Not to mention, and I didn't read all the posts so maybe this was said, but Datsyuk plays against the best lines every night, be it the other team's best defense or the other team's best offense, depending on the situation. That should be considered when comparing the two, even though there's no reason to. Filp take Dats minutes, hahahahahahaha.

What's the pass to the stream on the first page? My NHL Center Ice is down. Please!!!!

I obviously don't disagree with this. I just can't believe how little he is able to produce offensively.

Filps is so overrated. What does he do out there, he can't even carry the puck into the zone successfully on the powerplay

We have too many players who aren't playing up to their potential. Ericksson looks lost. Filps just gets tossed around. Cleary looks like he's slowing down Dats and Z.

I'm hoping we'll see ourselves in the playoffs...

You lost me.

What do you know, Filp tried that stupid ass move again...This isn't the Mighty Ducks - you can't spin through the defense. Dats and Z look like the Good Ole Days.

Well, Howie played good those games. We should have won each of them. Bad calls and no one could score on our shootout. Never a good reason to question a coach who's been about as successful as any otther coach in the history of the NHL in his first few seasons with a new team. Relax. Babs hasn't let us down yet. He's been terrific this year getting the most out of our men. Come on now. I see you got a Notre Dame avatar, so you clearly have trust issues with head coaches. But don't bring that around the Red Wings, it isn't necessary.

Well if you trust dailyfaceoff.com then Ozzie is your starter. Makes sense. For all you who jumped on Babs before knowing, shame on you. How can you question that man? Crazy. http://www.dailyfaceoff.com/13517/starting...january-26-2010 Detroit Red Wings Minnesota Wild Chris Osgood Josh Harding Confirmed “Looks like†PONDcast PONDcast
