I hate that stupid pedal. I could play most of those songs on Hard if not for the pedal. Can't play it with shoes on, either. Kind of weird. It makes my foot too heavy to be moving up and down like that, so I take my shoes off to play the drums.

Yikes. Maybe they can convince him to stick to singing and not ever touch the drumsticks. (not likely. the drums are WAY fun.)

And speaking of the bullpen, look who's a month or so ahead of schedule! Yay yay yay! http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../802270451/1361

So would I, given the insane cost of acquiring all three.

Sometimes I wonder But yes. Probably the sanest voice of reason post I've seen in a while.

So if he's a retard, why do we care what he thinks?

Wasn't you who said it.

Ever seen Tombstone? You know that scene where Wyatt Earp rides out of town and sees Curly Bill and says "I want you to know, it's over between us" and Curly Bill goes, "Well? Bye." Yeah.

Anders Eriksson?? Now that's comedy. I'll refrain from Lilja-bashing, thanks. One point lost and you got people wishing for him to be sucked into a jet engine? Completely inappropriate. Some of you really oughta grow up, maybe step back from the Wings for a week, re-evaluate some priorities.

YES! My two favorite prospects - Flip and Ericsson get a goal tonight. Love it.

There was a time or two when a post didn't take and another couple times when it got slow, but overall there weren't major slowdowns, I don't think. LGW outperformed TSN.ca, for one thing.

Good. Let the spotlight shine on someone else. Much better that way.

Let's vote. Pin this thread until the second round? Also: How so? There's four defensemen hurt, Holland traded for a defenseman.

I'm tilting a little bit because I'm still remembering all those awful giveaways in the Vancouver game. Lebda stunk the joint up something fierce. But I've always believed Lilja's a better 6th defenseman than almost any other 6th defenseman in the league. Sit Lebda, play Lilja. There're three perfectly good options for blueline offense in Lidstrom, Rafalski, and Kronwall, and when all else fails, you can't go wrong with size on the blueline.

Welcome! Should have waited just a bit longer to pick a username I think though he'll have to change his number with the Wings. I'm always curious to see what a new acquisition will wear. Best guess is #8.

Look at it this way - can you think of 120 better defensemen than Stuart? If not (and I can't) he's a top-four.

One - you tried to play the martyr by claiming you weren't allowed to post, you were just banned right away. So that was wrong. You used your two posts to flame people. Two - it wasn't me that banned you, and it wasn't anyone taking part in the argument that banned you. Three - I also wasn't actually in the argument, so that's wrong too. You can stop talking as if I was or that it was "my" stance. Four - Nobody insulted you in that thread. Another lie.

Let's see. You were suspended September 29, 2007 for an inappropriate avatar, which you acknowledged as true in a post. You were suspended a second time on October 7, 2007 for personal attacks. In between you posted this: http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=1162005 And this: http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=1162040 So we know you're not telling the truth when you claim "before I even got a chance to post they did it again." The first post, you called people in general douchebags, and the second post you told a specific person he was a "moron, and an absolute and total dolt," and next called someone else "a bigger moron." Sounds like personal attacks was right on. Lying will get you nowhere.

OK, so if they are "as good" as the Wings now, how does that equate to this: "No way we can compete"??? Even if those teams are now "just as good" as the Wings are (which they are not), you have to admit you've gone WAY overboard in your pessimism.

Those players I listed. Have you heard of them? They're decent hockey players.

I don't get it. Were those teams as good as the Wings before?

That's the worst reasoning I ever heard. You listed our worst players and compared them to their best. I guess we don't have Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Nick Lidstrom, Dominik Hasek, Chris Osgood, Brian Rafalski, Chris Chelios, Dan Cleary, Valtteri Filppula, Brad Stuart, or Tomas Holmstrom. Just a bunch of craptacular losers. You don't need to put red-colored glasses on. You just need to put your eyes in your head.

No, you get deleted when you make a thread regarding "1st round exit if we don't make a deal?" and then you make another thread saying, "1st round exit since we didn't make a deal!" In other words, a duplicate thread.

No, it means he'll go back to GR. Ericsson likely won't ever play forward again.

:lol: funny guy.
