Depends on if I want to go out or not. Got zero problems going out alone to do something. Home or out, alone or with people, I'm always going to enjoy myself. Zig or Zag

Nope. Which is probably a good thing since I have a mischievous mind. The person below me thinks this is funny (from Animal House).

And you are speaking like you have no clue how to listen to people. Nobody here wants to be told on how to act or what proper fan ettiquete is. Since you aren't even remotely hinting at attempting to take people's advice or criticism about you to try to better yourself, or even just trying to understand, I'm done with this. Have fun continuing getting dumped on for telling people how they should act and overreacting to people who really aren't overreacting.

Harding, but if your team cannot score, it's not really going to matter. Howard isn't the problem and isn't going to be off the team anytime soon.

*Forehead smack* Looks like I gave him credit above. Absolutely have zero against the guy. Once again, that's nice that he has developed some and that he did. Once again, you tried last season convincing people with a Kopecky thread that he is more than he's worth. Nobody listened to you. If you think he's worth something, great, but why do you think this time around is going to be any different with you trying to convince others? People are already going to have their thoughts of Kopecky, fair or not, regardless of you telling them otherwise or stroking your own ego. So you could actually answer my question instead of feeding your own ego.

This. While I don't like the overreactions to the heat of the moment, when the dust settles, the obnoxious overreactions are usually few and most people discuss pros/cons and whatnot once they have winded down emotionally. While I don't like doomers or the overreactions again, the self-righteous twits are equally aggravating, if not more when it isn't the heat of the moment after a game and they are just baiting (even though they might not be intending to) and telling people off when it isn't warranted. See above and take notes. Your schtick is absolutely aggravating, tiring and old. And this is coming from a guy who almost always sees the glass half-full and doesn't go on flip outs or panic attacks immediatly after a game. And this isn't just me saying this, you've been told this constantly in the past by others.

Nope. No remorse. Had to get a replacement for Rafalski and White was/is a great alternative.

I have before. The person below me didn't laugh at this.

Babcock always juggles lines. Not a snowball's chance in hell though that he sits Cleary. Just keep trying stuff with your same personnel, too early to go batty and thinking major roster shakeups are needed. Every team will go through a 3-game losing skid every now and again.

I honestly think if he wasn't traded from Detroit, he would've been a bit more mature with guys like Yzerman and Shanahan still around at the time. I liked him with the Wings, but it didn't sway me one way or another when he got traded. Don't get me wrong, he did plenty of good things to warrant a trade to Los Angeles at the time, he's had pockets of success here/there, but he's obviously got other drama - whether he wants to avoid it or likes it, he carries other baggage that has been a distraction. It might not matter to some, but that is a factor to me, and a lot of that drama shouldn't be that hard to avoid.

Good on him. Sometimes you luck out and get plenty of breaks like people have described. Not like he's doing anything illegal or wrong to get these things. Happy for him. You tried last season convincing people with a Kopecky thread that he is more than he's worth. Nobody listened to you. If you think he's worth something, great, but why do you think this time around is going to be any different with you trying to convince others?

Pretty much it. I'm not saying that everybody should write a 3-page essay on how they should post things in here, sometimes we post or say things based primarily on emotion. I get that. But if the OP suggested that perhaps we should make a trade sometime down the road to better this team without giving the perception that this team is unmotivated or in deep trouble, then he wouldn't have gotten a lot of the backlash he did. And to jump on the majority who thinks he overreacted aggravates me just as much (not because I am one of them), how did you expect the people to react when the original poster gave such a tone? I used to be one that, whenever the Wings had some adversity, would jump down the throats of people who panicked by telling them more/less like a smart allec to can it and take a chill pill. I'd like to think as I've been on here, I've toned that down and accepted that people will naturally express frustration, some just louder than others unfortunately. I'll often try to let it be. But if I think it's still way out in left field, I'll probably still respond to it. Also like the majority, I'm not thrilled with these two losses in a row, but this kind of thing happens to every single team, good and bad, in such a long season. And more than once. I'm not saying it is right or acceptable, but it is all but impossible to avoid. I get that we have high standards in here for the Wings, but there's got to be some more perspective in that. Not to realize that other teams stink and we are fortunate, just that everybody good/bad is going to lose and have some adversity sometimes. Wanting to make drastic changes to the roster after just one, and the first, two-game losing streak of a season is just insane. Maybe that wasn't what the original poster wanted to perceive, but to a lot of people, that's what it was. If this was a more frequent thing, then I'd probably open up to the concern a bit. But thankfully, it rarely is an issue when it comes to the Red Wings to where it severely threatens them. Are these two games disappointing? Of course. But if we get this overreaction from people in here every single time we have consecutive losses but are still doing fairly good overall (like we usually do), it's going to be harder to even just visit this section of the site.

I rarely think about winning or losing this way. In a lengthy season, you are going to lose games at some point. Sometimes expectedly or to good teams, sometimes to teams that will probably be mediocore throughout the course of a season. Doesn't make it right or wrong, that's just how it is for pretty much any team in a league with such a long season.

When pretty much every team in a professional league, good or bad, is going to have a 2-game losing streak (and definitely more than one) over an 80+ game season, the reaction is still pretty retarded sometimes. And those losses will come against good and bad teams alike. I'd love to win everytime. It's not realistic though. This thread makes me ^ This. And while we may have higher standards and expect more, the bats**ttyness in reactions from people in here is beyond dumb sometimes.

Sometimes. The person below me thinks that I am a wuss for being afraid of women. *shrugs*

A combo of both. I like being extrovert in being outdoors and sightseeing and stuff like that but I'm rarely the life of the party (nor do I want to be), I'm fine with being more reserved and I'm on my own a good bit with stuff and I rarely get bored, so I'm probably a little more introvert but am cool with it.

Here is an eraser. *shrugs*

I don't like Pronger like pretty much everybody else in here but I'm not wishing what happened to him on him or anybody. Hope it isn't too serious. I respect those who loathe the guy with an extreme, I get it and it's perfectly legit given his past, but I can't go there with this. If that makes me too "nice" or not Wings fannish or whatever for not just fully loathing him or wanting him to rot in hell, well I'm sorry.

Never been married so... Don't really think about that stuff in either a good or bad way. The person below me thinks this is funny.
