I will say one thing about our D...if they aren't going to play physical then they had better be fast which we aren't. Is Lebda hurt? for a fast guy he look's like a pilon. Chelli look's 46. We will sort it out but we do need some speed and depth on D.

Wow..thats all I can say...we are just getting out worked, we can trade for the 20 best players in the league but if we get outworked like this we are in trouble.

Tell me how exactly Ivanans would pay dividends going into the playoffs? He may have a role in the regular season being a tough guy and picking up 4-6 minutes a night but come playoff time he is going to be parked way down on the end of the bench, so far down on the bench he might as well be in the press box where he belongs. Nobody hardly ever fights in the playoffs which makeS him USELESS!! Increase his trade value? ...Thats hillarious stating a team is giving a goon more icetime to increase his trade value. Teams know what they are getting with Ivanans, his skill set is pretty simple. The King's are playing him more because they suck and they might as well give him some ice time and provide the fans with some entertainment value while they are paying him.

I think that maybe you have been playing helmetless!!

The Red Wing's franchise isn't a media circus. If these 2 were to come back it would be because Holland thinks they can help this team win the cup and not just to put asses in the seats!!

Look's like Kronner is coming back on Sunday, that's not that long of a time is it? Kronner's return

This big lead we have built has put us in a very good position for times like these. We don't have to take the slightest chance on any of our guys who are a little banged up. Rafalski and Dom can rest until they are ready to return. I'm pretty sure if we were in the race for a playoff spot these guy's might be playing hurt. Rest em now..get em healthy and make sure they are ready to go for the last 15 games and playoffs.

I think I am going to sig that post!! That was great.

I agree but have a good time getting that point across around here. I'm frustrated that we are slumping but I am a realist and I know teams cant win 82 games(well i guess they can but it's unlikely ) and they will have periods where they just aren't as good as they should be. It's human nature. We will sort it out, we are a great hockey team.

There is also that little thing called realism...I want them to win every night too but the fact of the matter is you can't win 82 games, I'm all for criticism when they are playing bad but to absolutely dog on guys that have played good all year except for this mini slump is nothing short of ridiculous!! But hey I'm just one Wing's fan with an opinion.

Imagine, the great and might Wing's are having a slump..for f*** sakes it happens but for crying out loud you people who are throwing this whole team and the coaching staff under the bus are pathetic. I would think it would be better to get our one and only slump out of the way now then to be carrying it into the playoffs!! FINGERS OFF THE PANIC BUTTONS!!

WTF ?

2 best teams in the west for sure...we played a solid game got hosed on a bad call!!

WTF are you talking about? we are the best team in the league and there is absolutely no reason we shouldn't beat the Ducks at home tommorrow. I swear sometimes we need a psychiatric ward on this forum. We are so spoiled around here and its quite pathetic to hear someone who calls him/herself a fan throwing in the towel for a game we haven't even played yet!!

did you move back from the ledge?

Oh f*** here we go!!

If you are looking for something to occupy your time during the intermission I found this video on youtube...it's pretty funny. Can someone tell me how to embed it on here instead of the link!

We all get excited to watch two original six teams play each other and its a bloody snooze fest!!! We had better get used to this style of game because teams are just going to dumb the game down against us. They barely send in a forechecker and then clog up the neutral zone. It probably won't work but it's the best strategy for teams to try and beat us. The 1st period definetely looked like two teams who don't play each other very much!! zzzzzzzz

That would be nice but then we would be looking at 4 hour hockey games......no thanks!!

Huh? he hasn't been all that good this year but he started to get it goin the last 10-15 games.

I agree, it comes down to having to get rid of something good to get something good!!

Now we are talking...I love Tucker and the way he plays, he can score a little, fight, good defensively, has a mean streak but.......................................there is no way we can give that much up for him!! These no trade clauses imo are a joke and shoudn't even exist. There is no way Tucker wouldn't wave his NTC to play for the Wing's.

Kesler would look really good on this team and we have some skilled guys the Canucks could use to try and solve their goal scoring woes. Kesler is fast, he has turned into a great faceoff guy, a little bit of a mean streak,great checker, his hands could use some work though!! I don't think Holland is going to force anything at the deadline though because if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Huh? what a ridiculous thing to say. You play to win every night!!
