Wings_Dynasty

After 2 games, one a complete blowout (thank you Mule!) I see only one area where the Wings need improvement. When the Avs have the puck in our zone and our players are stationary. If the Avs are moving the puck around the Wings are doing a good job keeping with them, it's when they are standing still (near the boards or behind the net) and looking for a bang-bang play. The Wings are not doing a good job of clogging the passing lanes in 5 on 5 situations in their own zone. The Avs have had far too many cross ice passes that get tipped or one-timed right in front of Oz, and behind the net plays are even more worrying. The D is letting the Avs forwards cruise into the crease with too much ease (See Lappy goal, Lebda was just along for the ride). Other than that, the Wings are absolutely DOMINANT in all areas. Mule is a legitimate power forward, Oz has been his usual steady, well positioned self, the HaZarD line creates a lot of opportunities, and the 3rd and 4th lines are contributing energy AND goals. GOOD JOB WINGS!!!

If Dallas knocks off the Ducks then the Sharks, they are NOT to be taken lightly. They are our little brother (as they play our same game but we are better at it) and are always a danger to embarrass us.

GO WINGS GO!!! Wings 5 (Dats, Stein x2, Kronner, Lids) Avs 2 (who cares)

I think that's 93.

Yes, he swung it. But did he get fined for doing it off the ice??? It did incite the crowd.

Ummm... I thought Fischer switched to 8 when Hatcher came here and stayed 8 when he left??? Am I wrong?

Bill Clement and Gary Thorne. In my Red Wings fantasies they are the voices in my head.

Usually I agree with your posts, but not this one. The take-aways and +/- will give him some votes. Z may be a better all around player, but Dats is a more dangerous player. He is someone you don't want to have the puck at either end of the ice if you are playing against him. I think it will be close. I picked Dats over Z and Pahlsson for the Selke earlier in the season.

I thought I saw Franzen's skate hit him in the back when he crashed into him. I don't think Floppa will take a practice until they get back to CO.

A S-word is definitely possible. I picked the Wings in 5. We can't see them at 100% until Theo is not sick (if he actually is sick) and Floppa is in.

I thought one of them would be nominated. THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Tension and speed. In basketball, you know they are going to score everytime they go down the court. In baseball, you are waiting for things to happen that might not, and the players are usually just standing there while you wait. In football only half the team is playing at a time. Hockey is fast, unpredictable, all players must be working and together, and goals MEAN something.

When Emrick says so-and-so player "Says NO!"

From what I can tell it's the outro on the "Early Mornin Stoned Pimp" album. Ain't no party like a Detroit party cause a Detroit party don't stop.

Datsyuk in a walk. Here is an NHL.com article about the players and their stats. Dats dominates all.

HAHA!!

GO WINGS GO!!! Wings 4 (Z, Cleary, Cheli, Homer) Avs 2 (who cares)

Great...

You will have to prove that. There's quite a few Avs trolls (one in particular) that have shown up over the years.

Simple. Effective. True.

DET/COL: 4-1 SJ/DAL: 4-3 MON/PHI: 4-2 PIT/NYR: 4-2

Wings are old, Datsyuk's a diver (?), and Hasek flops. Ok... are they Avs fans or ESPN hosts???

Well, you never know. He might have always wanted to work at a magazine or be a writer and he was also good at hockey...

Lilja, Lebda.... or Ericsson???

After the way Helm played last game I have no problem leaving him in, Sammy on the other hand...
