gdt 1/27 Red Wings 1 @ Chicago Blackhawks 2 (OT)
beachwing replied to hillbillywingsfan's topic in General
Its like the Lakers, how can they be so bad with that talent...granted we are not blessed with multiple lines of all star talent but we should certainly have much better special teams play...with time I hope! -

Its like LGW took a prozac....the sky isnt falling around here...cloudy yesterday, bright and sunny today. on a serious note i didnt see the game....can you please give me an unbiased assesment of cleary. The gdt was flaming him to hell and I just want to know how he honestly did?

Franzen should have been at Tae Bo class during the lockout

The problem will only get worse when the refs fail to save him and his facewashing leads to a pummeling and he gets concussed once again. I really really wish this guy had some tenacity...he would be borderline unstoppable...he would be bert in his prime. He shows superstar spurts but no 60 minite effort....god dam we all got spoiled watching stevey lay it on the line every game like every shift was his last! -
Great news for Bert!!! Had it been Mono I was thinking his entire season was done.

Mono can get pretty intense...I got it my junior year of high school ,had the 6 week Mono bug and it attacked my spleen and tonsils. Doctors told me I was lucky to still have my tosils as they offset the damge to spleen. I was quarantined at my house for 6 weeks and ended up missing 11 weeks of school. Honestly, if he indeed has the 6 wek strain and its already hitting his spleen I would be suprised as hell if hes back in 2 months. The toll it takes on ur body is incredible, I lost 37 lbs and would sleep for 24 hours and basically lived off iv and chicken soup. It was hell

i agree.....and i add the same can be said of the Wings last season.
-
that fight is truly epic.... he talks about the end of that fight how he got his finger stuck in McSorelys helmet and how respectful he was about letting he and the refs un tangle his finger before they fully seperated. great stuff!
-
i agree! that buffalo brawl was a great example of what your stating....once everyone had a dance partner probert was the only Wing not paired off with anyone mostly due to the refs restraining him....but Once Macguire pummeld Stevie, Probie came in with one intention...remind people that there will be a price to pay if you even look at our stars in a bad way. then probert really reminded him the next time they played when he beat the hell out him...everyone new it was coming and it was handled, message sent, respectfully no residual damage or cheap shots, ice justice. when weber lost his marbles slammimg Z's head was the same situation....a big guy picking on a little guy, let alone one of our stars and the only reason he did it was simply that there are no reprocussions...he's the biggest guy on the ice and even if someone jumped him he still has option of not going and we get a 10 game suspension regardless. should have been 5 wings jump on him right then and there but thats another story:)

i love in his book how Probie speaks in detail about those Domi fights as well as many others. The second time I read his book I would youtube the exact fights I was reading about... it was like having him do play by play. It was very interesting to watch the all the fights he references, after reading his breakdowns of them...you see an entirely different tilt When your looking for the things Probe writes about that occured. Definately a different era. the respect they all had for each other was amazing. there seemed to only be a few dbags and it was universally known who they were and most the heavys enjoyed some of the beatings they laid on those individuals.
-
had some s***ty weather so decided to read Probies book again.....compelling read again. i finished it in 2.5 hours. Really enjoy the fact it was his words and written that way as well. Although His constant presence here on the boards brings back nothing but great memories...his death still deeply deeply saddens me. The connection he and Stevie had was very touching and watching that Buffalo Brawl is what prompted this post.
-
Probie talked about it in his book....said he and Cheli were real tight and before Cheli left for Detroit he told Probie dont be suprised if you see me in 24 next season. Probie replied and im paraphrasing, i rather have him wear it than some European

Holland losing his moxie? Is Detroit slipping as UFA destination?
beachwing replied to RedWingsRox's topic in General
a lot of you are forgetting that Howard was easily the best player on the ice last year in a good number of games for us....pre injury decimation included. -
Holland losing his moxie? Is Detroit slipping as UFA destination?
beachwing replied to RedWingsRox's topic in General
we have lost no luster and still are one of the most hated franchises in sports.....hate comes from envy. a lot of you armchairs would have been shotgunning Strohs and doing swan dives off the Amassador if u were around during the cup 'drought' . the new england patriots and detroit red wings suck. Rome is falling. get a grip folks...regardless of the outcome of this coming season, ..i for one cant wait for all the thread 'bumps' once the season gets under way:) -

beachwing replied to RedWingsRox's topic in General
agreed, Tough for lot of folks to grasp but Detroit has some of the nicest burbs in the country. -
We should all thank our lucky stars we didnt land Weber! He has 7-8 great years left in him....thats it!!!! Weber will be a mere shell of himself the last half of this contract. His style of play is ballistic, physical, and absolute torture on the body. We were truly watching history every shift with Lids. 20 years of grace and athletic dominance at his position. Lids was a fitness freak BUT his game was cerebral, relying on positioning rather than brut force. Weber is a buzz saw looking to punish and intimadate people, this style is not condusive for a lengthy elite career and certainly not the next 14 years! Does anyone in their right mind seriously think he will be a perrenial norris candidate year in and year out FOR THE NEXT 14 YEARS ?!!! Cant wait for next season!! Youth movement, fresh legs, hunger, desire hard work and all the wagon hopping fans and forum gm's will be gone!

Gone are days of a stacked team top to bottom winning the cup. The new paradigm is simply get to the playoffs....ice a solid injury free team and get on a streak/or a hot goalie add in a few good bounces and see what happens. Honestly, lots of people are bashing the wings for subpar effort in the preds series BUT we were a few bounces away from advancing...yea yea i know hard work creates oppurtunites but we had a plethora of chances to win that series and we didnt. I do agree injuries really decimated our mojo and confidence tho, and Im very excited to wTch the wings extend their playoff streak and CONTEND for the 2013 cup.....which they will indeed do with our current roster!

Red Wings Rebuilding and Adapting to Maintain Dominance

"been scary if 11th round pick Vladimir Konstantinov played a full career alongside Nick Lids" -------------- This!!!!!!!!! -
There is obviously a reason nobody has signed Semin.....geesus christ! Maybe its as simple as Semin hasnt decided what the f*** he wants to do....anyone think of that!

No doubt we all have very high expectations for our team and thoise very expecations come from our incredible success over the last 20 years.....i love those expectations and all the rabid fans it brings about, both for and against kennys moves. Can you imagine if the Wings were more like our Lions?

Im very alarmed at much of the content in these threads.....you see what I did there!
