Wings_Dynasty

Anyone else concerned that Quincey is a -3?

Should be a win for the Wings, even without the best player in the world playing. Wings 2 (Q, Z) Avs 1 (who cares)

The second line certainly is a mess. But we can't put it all on Hudler. Flip has been inconsistent of late. He had a few great stretches, but I haven't seen so many missed wide open nets in such a small amount of time as the last 10 games for him. Z has also been sub-par. This is not just noticeable to Wings fans, but to national media as well. I have read several articles on Z being worse this season than his previous worse season. Cleary has been hurt often, so his numbers are not reliable for comparison to others. For what it's worth with Dats out this may be the perfect time to play around. I know that we need all the points we can get in his absence, but there may not come a time (we are in first place) to see our true weaknesses when there is less on the line. Franzen-Z-Flip Bert-Helm-Cleary Homer-Abdelkader-Hudler Miller-Emmerton-Mursak This mixes things up and allows for possible "duos" to appear. Cleary and Bert have worked well together in the past, and Helm would add to the great board presence of that line. Z and Flip work well together, and Franzen would give them both a good target for passing (something Hudler does) and a great net front presence (something Hudler cannot do). The third line would allow for a forecheck with hitting. The fourth line would undoubtedly be a great energy line with 2 players itching to stay on the team.

They probably don't receive our signals on his home planet.

What is Couture thinking? Why does he think that he can get in between 2 captains having an altercation where his captain is twice as big and start grabbing at Toews? Glad Keith gave him a sucker punch cause he deserved it.

The Wings make their money on the PP. They have a very low PIM/game level in the play-offs and those PP goals add up against teams like VAN and SJ. The Wings don't need a top 6 winger producing 10 goals over the course of 20 games in the play-offs if they can keep their PP over 25%. Although a top 6 winger would help that percentage. I think that another good option for this poll would have been the addition of another power forward that could finalize the top 6. Franzen-Dats-Bert XXXX-Z-Flip The second line right now is too small and not gritty enough to thrive in the WC play-offs.

The play happens with 5:01 left in the first.

As we pick up 2 more points because of it.

Zetterberg would either require: A. Superstar of equal contract value B. s***-ton of picks and prospects We'll see how he performs in the play-offs before I seriously consider the prospect of possibly thinking about this.

Clean as can be. Morrow is one of those guys I hate playing against. Not in the Pronger "oh God someone is going to get cheap-shotted" kinda way, but in the "everyone keep your goddamn head up" kinda way.

Howard is going to break the wins record this year. That is all.

Maybe he feels that since he was suspended he shouldn't be there. Or he feels that it is dumb for him to be there since he isn't very good this year.

Me thinks 3 games.

Big chance to put some distance between us and the rest of the division. Wings 4 (Bert, Z, Homer, White) Blues 2 (who cares)

You mean .500 on the road? Yep. Franzen-Datsyuk-Perry Bertuzzi-Zetterberg-Flip Cleary-Helm-Homer Parros-Abdel-Miller

I don't think OV was specifically targeting the head. I think he was going for shoulder on shoulder or shoulder on chest. All the same, both hits are punishable, MIchalek's more so.

http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Leafs+Wings+cares/6018666/story.html When it comes to not getting what they want or expect, Vancouver takes the pity-party/riot cake. I am sad that I couldn't get the story up before they turned off the comments, a few were pretty good. Almost 100% against the writer.

Accidental or not, an injury occurred. I am pretty sure Z is going to be suspended because the league has to be consistent and this type of play has been brought up for suspension already this season (can't remember specifics, someone else might). Since he doesn't have a history of suspensions, I think that the only reason this goes past a one game suspension is that an injury occurred that could have been worse.

Montreal Gazette online picked up the story Dearborn press, meanwhile, is looking at the positives

I WILL BE THERE!!!

Hudler, Miller, Smith, 2nd rounder for Subban and Moen

If he is a Red Wing come play-off time.

Dastyuk-Crosby-Ovechkin Chara-Lidstrom Yamamotoyama Ryūta I win.

You're false statement is right.
