This game should be 1-1

WTF????

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

f***

Dats had a solid PK shift

What was that s*** on Z??

I Wings are showin up in the pghysical department

Rocking a little Def Lep! ARMAGEDDON IT!

who the hell is detoi-it?

Atleast the Wings are playing physical

legwand whouldnt have been able to walk through like that

we dont look too good right now, but its early

nice d Kronner

They listed mac as a scratch for det. on the Nashville coverage. HAHA

Its GAMETIME BABY!

The caps could use some defense. how about zubrus for lilja and a pick

Games like this should not be decided by a ******* shootout. They should have played sudden death

Great goal by Dats. He put that in on the left side, excellent shot

This whole Dats situation is starting to piss me off. Well, not the situation, but the arguments on here about it. Yes Dats and Zetts play better together than alone, easily. Arguing that Dats is better alone that Zetts is or vice versa is stupid, because honestly, they play so damn well together, they should never play without eachother. Zetterberg does strike me as a better leader, but that does not translate into a better player. The whole damn team has not faired well at all in the playoffs since 2002. In 2002 Dats was on third or fourth line, so ofcourse he wasnt going to get much done. Zetterberg has not faired much better in the playoffs either. I would say Zetterberg has a better nack for the net, which would explain the goals he scored in the playoffs. Dats does not need some flashy winger who can score from all angles, he needs someone who can put the puck in the net. I honestly feel that the way the rest of our team has been playing, without Dats AND Zetts, our team isnt a playoff bound team. Say what you want about Dats playoff performance, however he plays a big part in getting our team into the playoffs. Every playoff game I have watched since 2002 (which is all but like 4 games) we looked flat. Our defense, yes even lidstrom played bad against edmonton. Edmonton's speed beat us. Pronger outplayed Lids, Rolson, Legace. I am not saying Dats' playoff performances were not craptacular, but I am saying is if you look at what our team as a whole has done in the playoffs, you cant expect much more from him. He is a playmaker. If the guy he is feeding to struggles to put the puck in the net, Dats can't help it. Bottom line, we all know it will come down to this years playoffs. Arguing over who is better, Z or D is silly. They are both a valuable part of the Wings. Everyone is well aware of Dats struggle in the playoffs, so this fact does not need to brought up in every single post. The team is on a roll, and so is the D-H-Z line, so be optomistic, opposed to pessimistic, and lets hope it can continue into the playoffs.

ok, so we all pretty much beleive that the better we do in the playoffs, the easier the situation becomes. The question is HOW good does HE, and we as a team have to do? The person I want with the puck in ot game 7 or whatever is Dats, but I want Hank right there as well. He is creative, Zetterberg is creative. They both create poetry on ice sometimes. Dats has to be the top signing priority for the wings this offseason. Also, if Zetterberg doesnt ask for what Dats assumingly would be getting paid in 2009, then we have no problem. Who is to say Zetterberg is going to be asking for around 7 million, even though we all know he deserves it.
