    abdelkader or kopecky?

    I heard that Kopecky takes a long time to adjust but when he does he then becomes a beast. I could be wrong but I recall a few fans saying that.

    Kopecky Might be Hurt

    I have to say I agree, I really was hoping DMAC would make an impact but he really hasn't earned a place, not even an attempt to fight...... Abdelkader came out looking great and makes you really wonder what he'll look like with proper training and more time. I say give DMAC and Abdelkader the CHI game and see who wins out.

    Babcock: This is the best team I've coached

    Sammy is a decent player, he is at the very least worth his paycheck

    Odds of Wings making a move?

    which would be smart, we weren't all bad until our d went to s***, if he we can patch up some depth theres not a huge need. Though I'm not negative to the idea.

    Sammy and Lebda

    Lebda never gets any credit, neither does Sammy. They are paid for their talent level, Lebda isn't bad and Sammy is a decent paid 3rd liner who has to play 2nd. Everyone here just needs someone to totally blame losses on. I know their is plenty of other players better but we have a cap so for the price they are good. If anything maybe we should start asking why Z, Hol, Flip, Hudler, (Sammy; but i think everyone expects more out of the others) are all at considering they are the real dependents on scoring. People complain about Maltby, Draper, Drake they aren't their for scoring if they can great but their primary job is to shutdown another teams offense. Please give it a rest for at least 2 days.

    Matt Ellis on Waivers

    Why not just put him in some sort of trade deal, that makes much more sense. Quincey/Meech/Ellis/Kopecky/Hudler are the most likely we'd be giving up for someone it just means we'd have another player to offer
  12. I'd rather have Sundin over Hossa

    Lidstrom talks about the hit

    It wasn't the dirtiest hit either, borderline at best. But Lids looked like he had a grin on his face when the linesman was holding him up, what a BA

    LA's Jaroslav Modry Traded to Philly

    if we didn't have to give up meech, what would happen to him at the trade deadline if we do get a d man. We would have to put him on waivers anyway right?

    Fair Justice

    I liked what Downey did especially because Lappy is an ahole and rarely loses, last 2 fights he's looked good. I want Drake to start fighting again, but I think he's been improved lately too. Lastly they need to get Kopecky fightinng, with the grifs the only fight I saw he beat the dudes ass, and he did pretty good against Sharpe?

    Vinny Lecavalier

    I haven't watched a ton of him, hows his d?

    Tomas Kopecky - Time for some kudos

    glad he isn't falling all over the place

    Advertising coming to NHL Jerseys?

    seriously, well if Datsyuk likes Taco bell maybe I should go there too

    Thoughts on Howard

    very impressive one game, but yeah start backing and then maybe do a lot of rotation
  21. ben_usmc

    Howard to start against Dallas

    best move, sorry but lately Ozzie just hasn't had his A game; first few I'd blame on D, at a certain point. Hopefully this well be a coming out party for Howard.
  22. ben_usmc

    Thrashers priority is to re-sign Hossa...

    not that I'm saying Hudler, meech, or sammy could get a ton. But just as much as some overvalue them I think others undervalue. Sammy was a decent scorer with decent d and is extremely cheap. Hudler doesn't get much icetime but up until recently showed he can put the puck in the net with limited min., lastly meech ANY defensive player that is coming from Detroit probably gets much more looks then other teams, though I don't think that would get us Hossa I'm just saying

    Meech - Send down? Offer up?

    I doubt he'll still be here by the end of the season

    buffalo moving cambell and kotalik?

    If we could get a pretty tough extra player I'd be for picking up campbell

    What do you think the problem is for our current slump?

    Our biggest problem is fan over exageration (spelling)
