Yeah, that goes to what i said about Tootoo being drastically improved now. It wasnt that long ago that Dandenault of all people didnt fair all that badly against Tootoo. If him and Dandy fought now Tootoo would pulverize him.

Yeah i knew what you were saying Lou but i thought the others should know that they have already fought with Bootland getting the Win. I can't wait to see this, i know for a fact that Bootland has improved alot aswell so bring it on TooToo. I will predict that Bootland gets the Win, remember you heard it here first, you fancy a little side bet Lou.

i just hope the guys get healthy and back into form for the playoffs, right when everyone was clicking and the other lines were stepping up to the number 1 line and helping put pucks in the net, the entire team starts to go down with injuries...figures

[GodofHockeyStevieY19]

Good to hear. Ive always really liked Booter. He's a gritty guy who can put the puck in the net. I would take Bootland over Ellis or Langfeld any day.

should be an intresting few weeks, I say let as many AHL players play for us in the time being. We can rest before the play offs see of any types of line changes for the playoffs, shows how we play through adversity.

Hmmmm....i would but i dont wanna root against Bootland! Plus, its not like im completely sold on the fact Tootoo wins, with 2 middleweights like that anythings really possible. I'll remember you called it though! I'd be more shocked if he were to beat Weber than Tootoo.

How about Booter- Hordichuk?

[Jwo]

he is no match for the boot

Bootland will have Hordi chasing him all over the ice and taking penalties, thats where Bootland is at his best, he is a s*** disturber who backs it up. Don't be surprised if he does go after Hordi, he definately has the heart and the balls, i just hope he has a hard enough head if he does.


Here is an interesting fact for everyone, Bootland and Ellis played on the same line together in Junior, they then went onto play with Toledo where again they played on the same line, next stop was the Griffins where they have also played on the same line. Tomorrow night they will probably play on the same line again in the Nhl. Does anyone know of any other players that have played for the same team since junior all the way up to the Nhl?

Tootoo gonna get Boot-ood.

Not to be a smartass, but the Sedin Sisters are definitely such a pair

Wasn't there someone better we could have called up than Bootland?? I mean, he's a total waste of space. "Tough guy?" Yeah, right. We might as well just spot Nashville three power plays before the game even starts.

And how can TSN.ca say Homer's out indefinitely? Everything else I've been reading says he's only going to be out a couple of games.

[HockeyCrazy3033]

BOOTER!!

I gotta be one of the few on here that likes the guy. He can't skate, but he sure as hell knows how to mix it up! He'll bring lots of energy to the team tomorrow and it's great he's in time for it being against the Preds. I'm all for Booter! About damn time he's been called up.

[cr00d]

Flip - Datsyuk - Rex
Calder - Lang - Mule
Maltby - Drapes - Booter
Langfeld - Ellis - Hussey

Hope Huds gets a shot with Pavs and Flip... show his worth when playing big minutes on the number one line.

Considering half of our team is hurt... those arn't terrible lines.

[Saran]

All these injuries are gettin kinda fishy hopefully we can get our whole lineup healthy and playing together at mid/end of march so they can get some chemistry and gel together instead of trying to do that in the playoffs ...

At least he will defend his teammates, something that noone else on this roster does right now. And this is the best game to have him for, IMO. We all hate Tootoo running around taking cheapshots, so at least now there will be someone who will step in and do something about it. I could care less about if he wins the fight or not, the important thing is that he will defend the rest of the guys.

Exactly. Just having Booter in the line up for the sole reason of sticking up for his mates, and fighting is good enough for me.

Agree. This move hurts no one and lets key guys rest and heal. Also, it gives Booter the opportunity to show something instead of dropping off the map like everyone's predicting. If Booter doesn't get KO'd by Hordichuk I would consider it a huge boost for the Wings. Personally, I think he could take TooToo and Weber.

Cheers!

Those lines make me worried a little bit.

*rolls eyes* Sorry, I'm not convinced. I have seen nothing from this guy that makes me believe he belongs on an NHL roster, even for a game or two as a fill in. All he's good for is taking stupid, ill-timed penalties.

However, I'd love for him to prove me wrong, come in here and have a couple of fantastic games.

[NEEDMOREGRIT]

BACKUP HAS ARRIVED !!! Time to pwn some noobs!!

Heres to a good showing for Booter
