DenJ91 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) i've seen alot of people on here complaining about how the wings don't have enough grit and size etc. i agree we could use alittle but i don't wanna see the wings turn into every other team out there. maybe there's a reason we are dominating the league. i have nhl center ice and i'm about as big a hockey fan there is, but i hate to admit i'm getting bored with nhl play these days. i almost can't watch eastern conference games as it's all dump and chase and that bores the hell out of me. seems the wings are the last team left who focus on puck control and skill and carrying the puck over the blue line with players like zetterberg and datsyuk. i hope they never change. it's exciting and fun to watch and probably the reason i've always been a red wings fan. i'll never forget the days of the russian 5. that was magic. we have 3 cups in the last 10 years. maybe we'll get another one this year. it's hard to find shanahan's these days like he was back then. an enforcer and a pure goal scorer. sure we could use another 'late 90's shanahan', but there aren't many left. rick nash is similar but doesn't play all that fiesty, he just has size. to me the NHL is in trouble. the rule changes after the lockout are almost pointless now as defenses and coaches have adjusted to them. goal scoring is not up. basically i'm just so happy the wings never seem to change their style and hope they never do. they might be the only team i consistently enjoy watching. i hope we can win the cup this year without the goony/grit guys.
