GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I have to give props to Downey for being able to beat a legit heavy like Parros. The only guy Downey has beaten cleanly this year was McLaren, who's not really a fighter. Hopefully, we'll see Downey drop the gloves more often now, especially since he'll be a regular in the lineup with Cleary being hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah you could see the boys on the bench reacting to Downey when he skated to the dressing room, i think they were in a bit of shock themselves that he beat Parros! This is the first time a Red Wing has defeated a heavyweight since 02-03...wow talk about a wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call me crazy but im still damn excited that Downey won, even though it wasnt much of a fight. Like i said, its been years since we've had somebody beat a guy like Parros! Thats agony for a guy like me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't Lilja land on top of him as I recall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Downey did great against Parros! I'm surprised he did so well against an established heavyweight like that. He really controlled that fight. Great job by Downey. I've been waiting to see him take control of a fight this season, and he picked a great guy to do it against as well. Too bad it didn't spark the Wings to a win, but it almost did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) This is the first time a Red Wing has defeated a heavyweight since 02-03...wow talk about a wait! It's been that long? Wow, I can't believe it. I thought Fischer fought Barnaby not too long ago before his heart problem, but maybe I'm thinking of somebody else. I still can't believe it's actually been that long.

I thought Fischer fought Barnaby not too long ago before his heart problem, but maybe I'm thinking of somebody else. I still can't believe it's actually been that long. Fischer did beat Barnaby, but he's definitely not a heavyweight. The last one i could think of was McCarty over Reed Low, i mean, thats a ridiculously long time...

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 I said it when we signed him, and I'll say it again. I love you Aaron Downey. Cant wait till Nashville on tuesday, Hordichuk or Tootoo will be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Funny...i completely forgot about out Norton last year...some impression he made on me I guess you could give him the Ivanans fight, but it wasnt much of a W if it even was one at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 I didnt even consider him an enforcer. He got in fights, hugged and fell down. I was so glad when he was sent down (Only because I was under the impression Booter was coming up and he didnt >) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyoski 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Great win for Downey...had me applauding from my own living room. "Porn-stache" definitely counts as a heavyweight but I can't think of any other current fighter with such awful balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skacore 2 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 in 2004 Shanny split open Jim Cummins pretty nicely... not a decisive victory but I'd say a victory non the less... Jim Cummins was a lesser heavyweight at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 Jim Cummins wasnt a heavy imo, he was a light heavy (which i also consider guys like McCarty, May, and Barch for comparison purposes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 14, 2008 Not a fight, but a cool fighting stat.. Dan Carcillo has an average of 5.05 PIMs per game in his career. I hope this kid has a very long career . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Carcillo Will end up being on like 10 diff teams in his career. the PIM will catch up to him sooner or later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Not really, he's got skill too. His +/- is only bad cuz he's on Phoenix, plus he plays on the lower lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
