Thing that bothers me is that flyers fans on other boards seem to make themselves the victims, or that these hits are all ok. I think its very safe to say that on these boards our posters will say something dirty even if its us. I mean even the flyers announcers believe they are just "victims" I'm 100% sure that Redmond would condem any wing that does it to, for that matter most fans on other teams would.

I wouldn't hate it, but I would rather others come here first

Z but I still think Datsyuk is better

he is playing very impressive

what about the dive by tanguey

I don't like the idea, I like parady in the league. Plus it would piss Burke off if he doesn't get it. Besides I like having players around for a while.

Stevie Y has been with the wings for 20 years you think he is gonna jump ship to the Leafs now

other then Downey nobody on our team would have done s*** either though

McGratton, Ryder, Avery, Fed, Rolston, Legwand, Foote, or Blake. I'd like to have any of them in a wings uni

no way you can replace Lidstrom with just one person, so we are going to have a few guys step up

when your right your right

Our D has been sucking lately too, but yeah I knew he's supposed to have a slow start but man Hasek looks like he doesn't have it anymore, maybe he is getting the preplayoff gitters out...... I HOPE

do the wings even care?

they are so hard because they keep pressure up, when the wings gain the lead they decide to play to defensive.

I hope the Preds stay, I like having them as rivals. It always seemed as a Good vs Evil thing, I really don't understand why we would want them to move. We would just have the same problems with another team.

guess Holland really shut a lot of people up so far this season, Bert and Schiender were injuried, and are starting to show signs of having consistant problems

Yes he's an idiot and was a classless thing to say, but people on other message boards are talking about suspension. I don't agree with that, it should be taken care of on the ice, I believe we have something called freedom of speech regardless of how stupid people are

Z is not a better set up man then Datsyuk nor is he better on D. Datsyuk lead the league in take aways, Z is great but man I almost hope Dats gets traded so he embarrases all you blind mofos. Z would not be NEARLY as effective, and Dats probably would still be putting up assists and leading in takeaways

hahahaha, maybe he read the board and saw how many of guys were talking s*** that he had to prove his worth, he has been playing great since the scratch, even before he was getting somewhat of a bad rap.

I do see now what you are saying as in the desire to have him here even at the cost of Dats. But I have to disagree with the well roundedness (not sure if thats a word) of Zetta compared to Dats. I think both are almost one in the same except one is a playmaker the other is a scorer. If you gave up either for Vinny then you would still have a great combo but do I highly doubt it would be nearly the same. He does bring a lot of intangibles to the table however I wouldn't give up the future of what we already know is the best tandem in hockey for what could potentailly be better. Also there really is no self esteem issue, I think you are reaching kinda far on that joke or observation or whatever, but if you have paid attention to the boards for the last few years, you'll have noticed the complete pass the boards as a whole will give one player and then crusify another player. A good example is the Hudler, Flip debate, neither did s*** for us a while ago yet one was defended and the other burned, its really annoying especially to see when the person being burned that is "arguably"( you are right both bring different things, so I can't say one is better then the other) better then the other, and nobody even noticing it. But either way we will never see Vinny here which sucks, but thats life, I just wouldn't destroy what we have for something we don't even know would be better.

WOW, its sad how underrated Datsyuk is. He is the main reason for Zetta's points, who do you think sets him up, creates all the space. Please tell me a better stick handler in the league, then you all talk about Zetta's D, Dats lead the league last year in take aways and not by a small margin. What is wrong with you people here, do you put Zetta on a pedistol and forget about Dats because he's Russian, not as talkative, not as good looking? I mean wow, talk about underapperciated, HE is BETTER then Zetteberg. That is saying a lot because Z is an amazing player but Datsyuk can play almost as effectivily without Zetteberg, but not the other way around. PATHETIC. Then you want to trade either of the 2 out of 4 of the main reasons we would be going into the playoffs (Lidstrom, Raflaski) were all are proven to have amazing chemistry. Vince is amazing but if we trade away what got us there, we would be right back at square one.

no kopecky?

I don't see it on charter

I don't care one way or the other, live by the sword die by the sword

for real, sounds more like a joke. Talk about short sighted Matt was a big part of this team. We've replaced him, so why hate on the guy whenever possible like he was some a-hole.
