My GF Wishes I Was Hank

Imagine how the remaining Starters feel, its only a matter of time. I think the grand rapids players are putting something in the water in order to get the rest of their team up in the NHL....but thats just me...

can the team assemble two units now PERIOD

i almost forgot how sammy shoots. He always seems to lift his head up and find the chest of the goalie and shoot right for it....

Just reminds me of the sabres of last season around this time going into playoffs.....

You know what? My love for Shanahan began to grow drasticly at that game when he flew like super mand and landed a nid air tackel on the most hated goaltender in the league! LOVED IT

hahaha

exactly. dont get to excited yet....we'll see if heres here to play or just here to get paid...

yeah your telling us. We have been stirring up drama stories just to keep from falling asleep

Ok but think about what you just said.....only down by one against the KINGS. How good could we be possibly be playing

That figures, because hes actually been playing well of course hes ganna get taken but the injury bug

i thought we were suppose to get better as we got some of our regulars back....we are playing the worst ive seen in over a month

Haha well the game was so boring we had to entertain ourselves some how

figures

good call! Agreed!!! Its ganna have to be Calder though, noone else is playing.

so um.... is it just calder playing tonight? wheres datsyuk? is he pretending this is a playoff game and sitting in the locker room?

I dunno if anyone done this before, but i figured i would try to make a game of this. Being a huge tigers fane and wings fan,, ive been thinking lately of what tigers player remind me of wings players. And i thought it would be fun to see how other people campared tigers players to wings players. I consider their style of play and place on the team and i have drawn the following tyep of comparisions. Pudge - backbone of team, brings expereince and skill to team, willing to teach youngsters - Tigers version of Lidstrom Guillen - Getting slower, but still can hit the ball and play the field like a rookie - Tigers version of Chelios Inge - Steller on defense, can offer a bit of offense when needed, fast - Tigers version of Draper Sheffield - Brought in as missing link of tigers - Tigers version of Bertuzzi Polanco - Clutch hitter, steller defense, gives it his all SHOWS UP IN PLAYOFFS - Tigers version of Zetterberg Those are the ones that i came up with. What do you guys think?

Haha a ver good comparison. Both of them get crap. Jones for not getting strikeouts (all though one of the best ground ball pitchers out there) and ozzie for giving up soft goals (but coming through many times in the clutch situations. i like it. there was a reply earlier comparing santiago to cleary, but i think the more that i think about it that Infante is a good comparison for cleary. Good utility player, can play whereever you need him, and a good all around athlete. Great shape, and great heart.

Wow you found that fast, thanks. I wasnt sure how to find the post, i didnt want to look for forever. You just made it very easy. Thanks

i just want bert to play already. Im excited to see what the team is going to be like with him. You can see that they are already starting to play better knowing that they have him on their side now. I just cant wait till we have everyone back and healthy with bert to protect them. Then i want to see someone try and take a run at dats or zetterberg like they always do and see bert kick their ass. Only a few more weeks.....bliss

There are always going to be bert haters, just part of the game i suppose.

i post here http://www.mlive.com/forums/tigers/index.ssf Its decent when the games are on, but quiet when the games arent being played.

Zetterberg brought his game too. But i posted a thread on this but it got relocated and i dont know where, but does anyone know any good tiger forums? Something kind of like this letsgowings.com forums but for the tigers? Seasons right around the corner and just looking for somewhere to post.

Haha another good one, a lil harsh but so true

HAHAHA i love the leyland hasek one, thats great. The only one i dont really like is santiago and cleary. Santiago bugs me, whenever he gets to plate all he does is try and bunt. cant really hit.

Two really goods ones, i was trying to think of someone like dats, but couldnt, bonderman must of slipped my mind because hes perfcet, you could also say verlander is the same thing, both pretty good for dats. I like robertson being the version of the Mule. Kind of fits nicely.
