i think some fans just like to believe that the wings don't get enough respect. everything clarke said was true. the wings are having a great season, but there's still gonna be three teams between us and the finals.
-
its great that we're playing so well, but come playoff time it doesn't matter. does anyone recall how many stanley cups we won in the '95-'96 season?
-
the leafs won't make the playoffs. this is the biggest game they'll play all year, and they know it. they're gonna come out flying.
-
i know the leafs suck this season, but i don't expect that to be an easy game.
-
samuelsson for roenick. git r done.

i think a lot of the great forwards woulda made good defenseman. a lot of playing defense is good vision. if you can see the ice well you'll be able to put yourself in good position. because of that i think wayne, Stevie or mario could have been good defensemen.

your first two cons are the reasons he won't win it.

i'm just nit picking here, but i believe its '93 and '67.
-
tallinder and lilja have some history together. might be a little chemistry there.
-
interesting. i wonder what larry brown and joe gibbs think.
-
thanks, man. i've been looking for those all night.

if you have to ask then the number shouldn't be up there. how many threads were started to ask if Yzerman deserved it?
-
no we didn't
-
i believe he finished second in conn smythe voting. so i guess yzerman really won the cup in spite of the rest of the team.
-
i don't remember him posting a .500 record or better since he's become GM.

but the wings aren't passing over young guys in favor of veterans. datsyuk made the team in 2002, and zetterberg and bykov in 2003. those were all-star rosters. guys get the call when they're ready.
-
the wings keep kids in the minors until they're ready. for some guys (hudler, kopecky) that means they stay down until they run out of options. others (datsyuk, zetterberg, franzen) make the jump immediately. and some (kronwall, filppula) only spend a season or two in grand rapids.
-
this is exactly what i'm getting at. the best players will play. just because a guy is nhl ready that doesn't necassarily mean that he's red wings ready.
-
we aren't just putting them off for aging defenseman, we're putting them off for better defenseman. rosters spots are earned in training camp. i trust the coaching staff to ice the best possible team every season. if quincey and/or ericsson aren't on the team this year or any year its because they aren't good enough.
-
unless one of the kids really outplays another member of the defense in training camp, i'm content to leave them in GR until they run out of options.
-
what's their record against the wings this year?
-
awesome
