Can we just roll four D?

Dear Wings, Stop sucking. kthx

Best goal ever.

McLennan being very nice to the Wings. Good omen? That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

For unnecessary rising upwards, extension outwards...the dreaded, much frowned-upon "boner check."

You guys know I was being sarcastic, right?

Love it. In other news: Burn, Sens, Burn!

Go Blues. I hate them less.

They were saying on NHL Live that McLellan didn't play Hertl much (if at all?) after the fourth goal. Smart move.

All jokes aside, I really don't like our bottom six. It's like, we finally get an awesome top six (and I guess the jury is still out on that, though I do think it'll ultimately become one of the best in the league. Because I say so), and the bottom "bottoms out." mehhhhhh

National Huggies League.

O plz.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertl.

Six goals in his last two games, this Hertl kid. But he's just a kid. And, y'know, the thing about kids is, they learn. They learn, or else they don't grab their Opportunity. You gotta be an everydayer, play the right way, be hard on both sides of the puck. Then it becomes second nature, and maybe you get an Opportunity to play in this league. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I don't mean cumulative point totals - I mean "In x season, Weiss registered [insert total] and Filppula registered [insert total]." The only thing I've really taken issue with here - and this is the reason I decided to enter this conversation (admittedly, without having read your posts) (I mostly just wanted to agree with something GoWings1905 had said) (...which I think he said in response to you) (...so I guess that's why it looks like I'm in total disagreement with you, when that's not necessarily the case) - is the notion that Weiss sucks and Flip is awesome. I've been intoxicated most of the day, and I'm only going to be more so as the night deepens. So if I disagree with someone, whether it's in one or two or a thousand degrees of separation or whatever, it's probably nothing to worry about.

I didn't realize the two were that close PPG-wise. I was referring more to sheer points totals, though (e.g. Flip's only registered over, what was it, forty points once thus far?) Both Flip and Weiss are good. Neither is bad. Neither will blow you away. But I do think this team, as it stands, needs a Weiss more than it needs a Flip. I also think trashing Weiss after all of three games is incredibly lame, especially if said trashing leans heavily on the tired subject of Valtteri Filppula's Potential (capital P!) I do feel Weiss ultimately has sort of "done more with less," making a name for himself without the aid of, well, the Detroit Red Wings. I realize Weiss got the "star treatment" down in Florida, but even so, if I had to call one of him and Flip an overall disappointment, I think I'd choose Flip. (I'm not saying a case couldn't be made for Weiss being more of a disappointment (see: being picked, what was it, fourth overall?)) Whoa! Foligno almost took Flip's head off just now.

Going through Wings withdrawl. Need. Thursday. Now. (Sexually.)

DRAMA *****

Ah, you may be right. I honestly don't remember. Actually, that's not a bad question. When did Babs first stick the "three kids" together?

This just in: Steve Yzerman receives several game misconduct penalties for fighting against fighting.

Wasn't that after injuries had ravaged our lineup?

At least the team is winning!

Is there no in between? Does giving a couple young guns more ice time necessarily mean the end of our playoff streak?

If he keeps scoring like this, he'll have every team's best guys on him every shift of every game. If he can contine to score through all that, then I'll say we lost out on a real gem.
