Favorite to least Favorite Wings Players

[Winged Scooter 0]

If I were prone to man-crushes they would be for Hank & Ozzie!!

I have NO USE for Samuelsson or Drake.......

[Sergeiwasmyfav 0]

Favorites:

Zetterberg

Datsyuk

Holmstrom

Ozzie

Franzen

Lilja (Yeah, he actually is one of my favs, this is not a mistake.)

Least Favorite:

Rafalski (Can't put my finger on it exactly, just haven't warmed up to him yet, but he does a decent job most nights.)

Everyone else is in the middle, although I love all the Wings. Also, what is everyone's problem with Hasek? Sure he flops and gives us heart attacks with the puck, but I like him. I think he does way more good than harm.

need em on the team

Draper

Lebda

Kronwall

Lilja

Malts

Chelios

Downey

My least favorite BUT are playing well

and a effective when playing there role

Drake

Samuelsson

Kopecky

and the goalies are fine, i'd like to see Hasek in the playoffs though by the way he is playing lately. I like how Ozzie is taking half the games off of hi mso he is fresh come playoff time. I used to love when Ozzie was in the net, but the team plays differently when it is Ozzie, it seems when Dom is in they only allow 20 or less shots and when Ozzie is in he has to make great saves 25 + shots.

I like the way Sammy has been playing lately. Keep him on the 3rd line and we have an effective Sammy, have him with Hank and 17+ minutes OH O! SAMMY will take away from what Hank brings.

OK, I ran out of time. But those are the top 10 guys I like. Here are the five guys I don't like:

Filpulla

Hasek

Samuelson

Hudler

Kopecky

Everybody else I'm pretty much neutral on. Some guys I don't like all that much, like Datsyuk, but he adds so much to the team's talent that I can't disrespect him by putting him on the least favorite list.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Favorites:

1.) Flip

2.) Dats

3.) Lids

4.) Zets

5.) Jakub Kindl/Jonathan Ericsson

Least Favorite

5.) Hasek (I always expect him to let in weak goals night in and night out)

4.) Maltby (I just can't stand him anymore, he got a few lucky goals in the beginning of the season...)

3.) Lilja (Everyone says "Well if he has a brain fart this year in the playoffs then I'll disown him; Well I say, he IS going to f*ck something up in the playoffs, so we might as well rid him from the team so that won't happen and play a more defensively sound Quincy)

2.) See Below

1.) Sammy (All he does is shoot directly into the goalies chest...I mean, he doesn't even try to pick his spots, he is completely worthless! He sucks defensively, and on the PP he contributes nothing but a guaranteed blast to the chest, or a high and wide blister)

[thedisappearer 291]

What's there not to like about Huds?

Exactly.

As I love all the Wings, I would have to break it down like:

Those I have a man-crush on- Lids, Z, Dats, Kronner, Kenny Holland (I know, I know- he's not a player. But I really dig that guy...)

Everyone else

And finally, those I wouldn't mind going away quickly- Sammy and Drake.

[Mickeyisms Rule! 0]

In order of "fave-ness"

1. Lidstrom

2. Zetterberg

3. Pavel

4. Lilja (What's not to love about the Pain Train?)

5. Hudler (no one is happier than he is when he's on the ice and the puck goes in the net)

6. Cleary

7. Chelios

8. Homer

9. Flip

10. Downey

11. Osgood

12. Draper

13. Maltby

14. Kopecky

15. Hasek

16. Lebda

17. Rafalski (not as good defensively as I would like)

18. Kronwall (I still don't trust him not to shatter when he gets hit)

19. Sammy

20. Drake

21. Meech, Hartigan, Ellis- not enough experience with them, though Hartigan kicks ass in GR

[Earthhuman 8]

Here we have it:

Yzerman

Lidstrom

Datsyuk

Osgood

Kronvall

Filppula

Zetterberg (trying to detach myself, in case he retires before 30)

Hudler

Cleary

Rafalski

Holmstrom

Chelios

Draper

Downey

Franzen

Kopecky

Lilja

Samuelsson

Maltby

Drake

I didn't rank Hasek, as he can range anywhere from 2nd to last, depending on his last game or two.

[Earthhuman 8]

Datsyuk and Chelios being exceptions, that's basically the order in which they became Wings. I like your style.

The only players that I'm lukewarm about (not that they're bad players, just that I never felt like a fan of them) are:

Maltby

Drake

Samuelsson

Kopecky

Franzen

The only one I dislike (most of the time):

Lilja.

Everyone else is A-OK in my book and I'd consider myself a fan.

Dude, how can you put Downey last?

I love how everybody hates Samuelson. He's almost like a new Lang, except Lang was somewhat good earlier in his career.
