GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Hey Ron, I have a solution: try finishing ahead of the Red Wings in the standings for once. Nothing against Nabokov, he fully deserves to be an all-star, but this decision is not Wilson's to make. This guy is always whining about something anyways...

wingnut40 176 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 What a jerk. I wish he'd get his by a car. If you want to decide who starts then maybe you should try harder to finish 1st in the West. He shouldn't question Babs 'cause he seems to know, just a little , about how to win. Ron Wilson should just go be a bus driver for superhero kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Of course Wilson is going to try to promote a player under his coaching to start. Why wouldn't he? This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody in either a positive or negative fashion. It really doesn't matter who starts in the All-Star game though, whether you are a goalie or one of the 5 skaters on the ice. The 3 goalies selected play 1 full period pretty much, and it's not like the guys who take the 1st shift on the ice just hog all the ice time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 They're obviously joking around with each other. Come on, get Nabby in as a starter so his stint will be over sooner? That's hardly an argument. He's just throwing playful jabs. It's just a funny situation that one opposing coach has power over the other in some way, so they're milking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Exactly what does Ron Wilson's job entail for the allstar game Wilson will be responsible for providing a fresh supply of Big Red and Dasani to Babcock during the all-star game. Hopefully, he does better at that role than he does at coaching. Edited January 21, 2008 by GoWings1905 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
