    Red Wings' Future

    I'm have a sports performance comapny and simply drool when we have 17-19 year old athletes come in for off season work!!! I really wish more of them would understand the importance of investing in their futures by investing in their bodys. If i could do it again I would have begged my mom n dad for a trainer starting in 5th or. 6th grade.

    s***, with our teams luck, had Big E actually fought, he probly would have slipped and hit tootoo by mistake concussing toots while shattering his own hand. Good on Toots !!

    Tootoo

    [quote name="F.Michael" post="2359335" timestamp= I gotta be honest - this team is boring, and has been for some time...They're not a top team anymore, and they haven't been for a few seasons now...How in the world is having a few guys like Tootoo on the team such a bad thing? I would love to see him get some 2nd line playing time, and some time on the pp; just might shock some fans as to what he could bring. I agree,lots of grinder types never get the chance to play top line mins or with any of the skill. i understand their role and they fill it perfectly and honestly they probly dont have the hands and skill to play top line mins BUT you cant tell me Tootoo would have done any worse than cleary and abs tonight.....btw i think that line was our best tonight. I could care less about fighting unless its to stick up for someone running a teammate and no doubt Toots will take 6-8 dumb penalties this year with his over aggressiveness BUT i rather have dumb penalites from over agressivmess and skating hard than dumb penalties from lazziness and not moving your feet!

    Tootoo

    Anyone watching The Wings this season referring to Tootoo simply as goon is laughable. Runs around hitting everything in sight Draws penalties Pain in the ass to play against Creates scoring chances every shift Ignites crowd and teammates Goes 100% every second of every shift Cant finish consistently Loves the game Who am I describing above, Tootoo or Helm!!!!!

    Guess Im still wearing slightly redwing tinted glasses. I see us making the playoffs and getting bounced in second round.....this scenario ONLY happens with a healthy team however! But even with the decimation of our squad I still see us as a 6 or 7 seed.

    Im not as ready to jump off the cliff as many others here because this rut seems all mental. The players have to decide if they want to play as hard as Dats does and eliminate all this pee wee garbage and undisciplined crap. Clearly line wAs really good tonight despite all the yelling for their heads here. Babs certainly could send a message by sitting people but he knows the players better than we do, some will be motivated by pushing them while others need to be pulled. Great coaches know how to motivate but the wings are in very unfamiliar water here with all the injuries and lots of veterans on the shelf. And we cant really sit too many people to 'send a message' cuz we are a little thin with personel:)

    There have only been 3 games this year that I really felt we played poorly enough and deserved the loss. Thats whats so irritating, a couple dumbass turnovers again and we lose. Open nets missed, plenty of scoring chances and we still take the L.

    I agree and it sucks cus I think our opponets have figured this out as well. There used to be fear receiving an outlet pass when Kronner was on the ice but no more.

    I miss the days of Kronner lighting somebody up at the blueline and setting the tone for the entire game

    I understand all the Clearly shade but dude is skating well tonight!

    Howard to start tonight + projected line up

    All i want is consistency, energy and a fire to compete out of each player each shift...do the job and fill the role you are being paid to do. This injury stuff has led to a clusterf*** of a roster and season thus far. Someone already mentioned this but if BAbs gets this team to the playoffs, he should be coach of the yeAr.

    2/19 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Predators 4 (OT)

    What has Tatar done to NOT get more ice time. He has been given an opportunity and made the most if it And has done nothing to diminish his shine. Harbaugh gave Kapernick a shot at QB and he impressed and won The job.....i thought thats how this team sport thing worked. The harder Worker better performer earns the job.

    Jordin Tootoo

    Toots is an asset for sure and needs to be on the ice a lot more. His energy is infectious and he creates opps every shift!
