Pronger at it again: elbow to McAmmond's head
motorcitykid replied to zetterbergfuturemvp's topic in General
Just a reminder: THIS IS NOT AN ANAHEIM FAN BOARD!! Take all this bulls*** and defending of Pronger over to one of your OWN teams boards. Quit trying to play cute on here. We don't give a s***. I know most of you Ducks fans are really LA Kings fans but Pronger actually played for Edmonton and St. Louis previously and is know for his cheapshots. We clued you into his game [or lackthereof] when the Detroit series started. He's a repeat offender and we're talking mere weeks after he tried taking Holmstrom's head off with his elbows. He should be suspended the rest of this series and fined huge - I just don't see how those idiots at the NHL offices can mess it up again, this time. Here's hoping ... and if he doesn't sit the remainder of the series, here's hoping someone like Chris Neil lights his ass up when he sees him next, cause this fan is fed up! -

Here's hoping Ottawa gets back on track at home Saturday. -

Ahh to be the standard that every other team measures themselves by and strives to be. Nice. -
What do you expect, the dumbass you responded to can't even spell hockey correctly.

I'm both a hockey fan and a Red Wings fan. The fact Anaheim got past Detroit on sheer luck, bad officiating and cheezy goals has nothing to do with me complaining about the product we've been forced to watch in the Finals. Yes, i'm rooting for Ottawa - they've got a great group of guys over there very well deserving of where there are today. But even if the Sens were up 2-0, i'd still be laughing at the what is on display and passing for the best the NHL has to offer. It's a joke. And we've been talking about this for how long now? No wonder barely half a million Americans tuned in to the opener. Bettman needs to buy a f***in clue. He kisses NBC's ass, he wants bigger nets, doesn't give a s*** about true rivalries [yeah Bettman Detroit fans really, REALLY wanna see soooooo many games against Columbus and Nashville ] - on and on. He licks the nuts of any businessman wanting to buy into the league, at any cost. He DOES NOT speak or represent the true hockey fan. Remember us? He never did and never will. We don't need bigger nets, we don't need gimmicks. Hockey needs to retain SOME semblence of it's roots and allow the stars and the best of the best shine. Thank God I grew up a Wings fan, because if I lived in one of the smaller markets are supported alot less storied franchise i'd probably be watching NBA or MLB about now. The game is in trouble. Wake the hell up. -
Should the Wings target UFA-to-be Giguere?
motorcitykid replied to zetterbergfuturemvp's topic in General
^ ^ Exactly. *still waiting on a better option than Dom coming back for another year* -
Heaton, you're always on point. But i'm wondering if the pro-Bertuzzi people aren't just hoping. Well, put it this way. I'm only speaking from what we know and have seen. I know about the injury stuff. OK. But I just don't think he is ever going to return to his Vancouver form. Yes, he is enticing when you see him out there, and figure "geez, imagine if he could find his game ...". But i'm just not sold on him ever finding it. For 3 million, you figure there's a few other players out there we could get who you more or less know what you're getting. Money best spent elsewhere. I wish we knew either way about Bertuzzi. I do. My post was a bit misleading. I'm not talking about finding "grit". Our boys accounted themselves real well this year. I'm just saying i'd really like Holland to add a guy who can score 30 and play with a bit of a physical edge ala what we're looking at Bertuzzi to do.
-
In regards to Hasek, is this new stuff? Because I know he said he would "like" to be back, but would take a few weeks to decided if he "should".

motorcitykid replied to zetterbergfuturemvp's topic in General
Just 3 more months to go hearing sign Giguere!, sign Giguere! -
Markov or Schneider? Easy - #23. Although I will admit Danny did make an impression on me, after coming here with alot of baggage from previous teams. But if it's one or the other, you gotta go with Schneider. As for Bertuzzi, yeh injured again. My God if Holland doesn't get it now ... he is NOT the player he was, never will be, and is not worth taking such a gamble. Plus he didn't like his role here, which will only add to his frustration once he realizes he is not gonna ever get that "power-forward" game back. Holland's comment on signing a couple of higher-tier guys is nice, we have heard that before .. but anyways, i'll wait until I see who exactly he's looking at before any judgement there. I must tow the LGW/Red Wing fan line as well and say he better be looking at some guys stronger on the forecheck ala Danny Cleary. As much as i'm intrigued with Grigs coming over etc, I don't want Holland putting all his faith in another rookie or two. We need a couple more crash and bang types/vets brought in.

It's pretty likely Dom has played his last game since there's little reason in him coming back for one more season. Personally, I wish he would. I don't think Howard is really ready, but unless he gets some games, who really, truly knows what he is going to mean to this club. As for Toskala, JSG or Backstrom, this is the same old crap recycled from last summer. Any of those three? No thanks.
-
Draper, Lidstrom and Babcock have already stated without any doubt they think Holland and Dom should sit and work out another one year deal. I'm really interested in seeing who wants him back and who thinks the better plan would be Jimmy H. backing up Ozzie or a similar scenario.
-
It must be that time of year again. The time of year when people start demanding Holland sign just about anyone. Lindros? O'Neil? A great, big resounding NO!!
-
Anyone who's a Wings fan drops in here daily. I even have the site bookmarked as my homepage. There is no other site that can compare to LGW, for both Wings talk and hockey talk. Not one.
-
So you want Schneider gone, but Bertuzzi re-signed? Wow.
-
There should be a disclaimer to the nonsense that is being written in these 'keep Bertuzzi' threads once you enter this site. Get it through your head - Bertuzzi is NOT the player he once was or anything near the player we thought he was going to be for us. That player is gone. I know it might hurt to hear it, but that part of his game is gone. It's more than injuries my friend, wake up. I don't want Holland wasting valuable money signing this guy for another 2 years. I don't care what it costs. Look elsewhere Kenny. Stay on topic. The Ducks were healthy, unless you're counting Ric Jackman as an important cog on defense. We were not. Simple. No Marchant for the previous series' - it ain't like they missed him, cmon. Lose a Chris Kunitz with the broken hand against us - that never made a bit of difference and surely wasn't gonna decide this series. But looking at the Wings - losing 2 of their top 4 defensemen? Exactly what team do you know that can laugh that off? Yes, Anaheim won the series, but to say they DESERVED to is simply ignorant. Interesting to see what they do when they meet a healthy team like Ottawa ... a team very similar to Detroit [aside from Emery/Hasek].

What the Wings must do to wing a championship next yr....
motorcitykid replied to wings_fan_5's topic in General
Goners, no ifs, ands or buts - you need to go!: Bertuzzi Lang Calder Sammy [new contract or not, i'm throwing your ass in this group too] I'm not even gonna comment on the 'blame Hasek' idiots in here. What a f*n joke. -
Wings don't come out flying to start the game. Turnovers with the puck again and again. Decide to show up with 15 minutes to play. Welcome to your off-season. Again, the Ducks played well last night, more so early game. But to say they were the better team? If the Wings didn't give up the tying goal in Game #5, we're looking ahead to tomorrow night. They did - and never recovered. Again, it's what we didn;t do, not what Anaheim did. Go Sens!!
-
Dump Hasek? I just don't know if Jimmy is ready for full-time duty next season. We'll soon see if he gets the chance to prove it. As for Hasek - there's rumbling's that he could be back next year. The 2 names we kept hearing these playoffs are Chelios signing another 1-year deal and Dom comitting for 1 more season as well. I'd love to have Dom back for one more go-round. He did a great job this year, and with the infusion of a little more youth next year, it would be a great bonus to have him back there guiding the ship and being another veteran presence. We'll soon see.
-
To me it's more like a few games stretched together ... Pavel scoring the start of these playoffs, taking hits, even throwing some, and losing the tag I helped put on him. *teary eye* I love My WIngs .. Gooo WINGS!!!!!!!!!!
-
Clue one he's a moron was that name.

You Be The Captain-Your Words to Team Before We Hit the Ice
motorcitykid replied to Learn2LuvIt's topic in General
Well friggin' said. Go WINGS!! -
Just one and from THIS season only. Gettin pumped for this game.
-
Agreed. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot. The PP, 5 on 3's, turnovers [ugh!] and lucky bounces are the reasons we're down 3-2. Again, these are not the same Ducks from Rounds 1 and 2. No-one's saying JSG sucks or has been awful, but to say he's been THE difference maker is simply not true.
-
...damn, the first picture I see is Mathieu and the cast on his wrist. Hey, it's RED! Great pictures. Even more ready for the game. 10 HOURS!!
