Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 Kopecky was a disappointment imo, not sure what he did to warrant this. Didnt play all that physical, and had 1 point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted March 19, 2007 he sold me when he was running Phenauff and pretty much leveled him, my roomate an Av's fan was even amazed because this was while we were playing like *****'s and Kopecky was hitting anything that moved, like a fair Tootoo that night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must understand Lou's perception of physical is more like Todd Fedoruk style playing. Am I right or am I right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Great news. I hope he does make it back with Z for the playoffs. Always good to have options in case Sammy or Cleary reinjure themselves. Are MCL injuries prone to re-aggrivation like ankle problems can be? It's amazing how crappy the knee is in terms of human joints... it's literally the worst, with the shoulder following as a close second. You must understand Lou's perception of physical is more like Todd Fedoruk style playing. Am I right or am I right? I always assumed Lou played with lots of trains as a kid. And smashed the locomotives together screaming "BANG SMASH BOOM BRING THA PAIN" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arin 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Kopecky was pretty much leading the team in hits compared to his TOI before he was injured.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 :clap: My future favorite player on the team if he brings that scoring touch and physical aspect to his game to the NHL level. It was really nice to see him play in GR last year and he really made me think we actually had a legit physical presence in our system that also had a great shot.

Heaton 1 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) The Wings have re-signed forward Tomas Kopecky to a 2-year deal worth $900,000. Kopecky will make $475,000 next season and $525,000 in 2008-2009. Should say 1million I guess. Edited March 20, 2007 by Heaton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 I always assumed Lou played with lots of trains as a kid. And smashed the locomotives together screaming "BANG SMASH BOOM BRING THA PAIN" You're on the right track . No trains, but one of my favorite hobbies as a kid was violently smashing my toy cars together. Any cars that kept flipping over i wouldnt play with it anymore....i only played with the cars that had toughness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok granted, Kopecky may have looked physical comparing him to the rest of the Wings. But I compare him to the rest of the league. I guess i just expected more is all, so he was a letdown.

I guess i just expected more is all, so he was a letdown. There were a couple nights Kopecky was the team's best player. And that combined with the fact that I was pretty much alone on this board in wanting to keep the guy over Nate Robinson a couple years back, I think I might be the only person on here who even had enough expectations of him to BE disappointed with Tomas.

WhiteLightning91 105 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Oh yeah, I forgot all about Nate Robinson, what ever happend to him? He played in only a handful of games for us a couple seasons ago but never materialized in our system. He was later picked up by Boston and nothing worked out there really...Last I read he was playing over in Germany somewhere. Doesn't look like he is going to be coming back to bite us in the ass...

daniel1 32 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Good move Kenny... now if only he can get Dats to sign for the same kind of money... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 There was no reason to just let him walk. You're right,he deserves another chance after this seasons bad luck. But remember people,this deal doesn't give him an automatic roster spot. There's always good old waiver draft. He still has to prove himself,we've got more youngsters coming up (ok,maybe not next season but after that) and possible UFA's Kenny will sign etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
