I like a few of the comments by some of his big supporters now that say, even though they warmed up to Chelios they would NEVER want Tootoo on this team.... "Not now, not ever!" quote, un-quote! It's all funny now, and it just goes to show that no matter how much a player is hated from another team, there is a reason he is hated, he is good and he drives you nuts how good he plays against you. Pronger, Lemieux, Backes....I have a feeling that they would/would've had the same effect on the same fans that said "not now, not ever" to Tootoo...

Oh...well, I do think Tatar should get more playing time though. I just think he is looking a little better each game and TONS better than Cleary, so I think Babs should shake it up a bit. Would help if all were healthy, but its time to reward Sheahan and Ferraro with some NHL time. I think M-Raz should start the next game as well... Jiri, is that you?

...along with my opinion of Cleary in the other thread, Q and Kindl also just played their last game on my team. I like Tatar's little move on his goal he also threw a nice big check in the first, to compare him to Hudler truely is an insult to him. M-Raz is better than Howard. Didn't miss Franzine... I agree with Kip, it's time for another line shakeup (if Holland isn't gonna get the right players here for Babs) I say put Tatar back up with Dats, maybe make Fil the 3rd line center until Barbie Doll gets back. Andersson is nothing....too slow, has had a couple of golden oppourtunities so far to impress...does he suck? No, but he won't be anything more than a 4th line center/13th forward here, bundle him in a deal. Again, Cleary, Kindl & Q are hot garbage, shouldn't be allowed back on the ice in a Wings jersey...Time to bring Huskin's back in and when Smith gets healthy, Q and K OUT! Need me some Sheahan & Ferraro in place of Cleary and Andersson...

Dan Cleary just played his last game if this was my team....

What an insult to Tatar! Seriuosly though, I would like to see him get 25-30 goals someday. He has been solid, but he isn't showing me much offense yet. I guess it has to do with playing on the 3rd line, but I hope he shows some more than what he has already. I would hope that he would take Franzine's place on Z's line and get a chance like Brunner has been given. I am ready for the kids to take over... (although deep in side I still believe if there is a trade, Tatar will be a part of it...)

Well, not exactly the way I want to see him out of the lineup...I'd prefer a healthy scratch...get well soon Franzine, I never wish an injury on anyone...

Found this topic from around the deadline time of 2008...super funny how these opinion's have changed! I would proudly say that mine along with a few others in this original thread had the same opinion back then as we do now! I can't say the same for some others.... Read thru a few! Some of you have wavered more than John Kerry!

These phantom calls are getting absurd! The amount of goals Homer had called off weren't, he would have his jersey retired! Ok, not really, but this is stupid. This above above all, should be a reviewable play same as if the puck was kicked in or if it crossed the line...

The injuries are just purely coincidental....BUT you are seeing a team that is what it is. Soft, no heart, no passion...Injuries happen, but this is Hollands fault. I do get frustrated with all the injuries, it seems like one after another. I think they take too long to heal. Back in the day, you got a shot and went back out there, hell, Yzerman played on one leg for the last 5 years of his career it seemed. Today, you break a nail, they put you on IR for 3 weeks...

ya! In 1995-96 they started out 5-5-1 and went on to only lose 13 games all season long! But I think the personel on this team isn't quite as good as that team....

Both...it can't get any worse can it?

is Babs actually saying they played well? When is Babs gonna call out his own players like he used to?

Not allowed to mention anymore unless I want to start a thread about him...but ya on this team of garbage he hasn't been as stinky as most....I still don't like him though...

Well if Holland lets Kindl walk and White walk then there is a spot for him to play...even if they keep Q. Kronner - E Q - Smith Lashoff - Dekeyser Huskins

Dekeyser and Pulock and promote Lashoff permanently....let Kindl walk, dump Q and E and hope Kronner shapes up! I like Huskins as well...

Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Brunner, Tootoo, Lashoff and Abby to an extent are the only guys playing good every game... I know its not all Howards fault, but man if he wants to be elite, he needs to steal some games, not just keep it 4-1...he has no control of his rebounds...gives up way too many. Lots of passengers today...most days.

pretty pathetic guys...when your worse player is the only one to get the puck in the net, you are in trouble... So, 9 games in, game 10 will be against a pissed off Blues team, is it safe to get upset now? Can we start officially calling people out? They have playe ONE good game thus far...I truely think the playoffs are a pipedream right now...Holland is behind the 8 ball now. If he thinks he can stand pat with this team, he needs to be fired.

Thats true, so I guess we can expect another small soft Euro defender...seriously if he is available when Holland picks, I truely hope for Ryan Pulock!

Because he actually appreciates being here....Kronwall and Ericsson and Quincey feel entitled. Too bad they are all crap! I can't believe Kronner this year, do you think he got a warning from the NHL about hitting? Or does he feel he can take over Lidstrom's spot by attempting to play a Lidstrom type of game? Kronner, go back to what you know or you will traded...oh wait, no you won't.

Ya, this is a playoff team! Seth Jones lookin good! (of course Holland will pass him up) Lidstrom was right!

They have been playing like garbage for 8 out of 9 games....changes are needed...

This game is not up for grabs...can't even score on the rookie...once again the Wings make a rookie goaler look like a Vezina winner!

I will explain it one last time then I am no longer allowed to mention him..."HE" was chosen over Hossa because he was our scorer and it was hotly debated here and it was about 50-50 who we should keep, I never liked the guy and was highly upset when the let our only "Sniper" go and chose "him" and the "other one" instead. The "other one" is finally gone and "He" has yet to prove he was worth keeping. So now, I dislike him even more...just because I don't like a certain player doesn't make me a non-Wings fan. End of story.... back to topic (so there are no unecessary warnings) remember when it was exciting when the Wings had a PP? Seems like about 10 years ago the last time that happened....

Don't try to egg me on, I am no longer allowed to say his name...

Yep! and its great! Go Wings!
