Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) There are quite a few Wings fans here that thought we were king s*** and could beat any team in the league when we were kicking everyone's butt. Well, as soon as the boys get healthy we'll still be that team in your eyes so no deadline deals today probably shouldn't bother you folks at all. For those of us who've felt we aren't big enough or tough enough, looking at the names that traded hands, there wasn't a whole lot that would've made us happy. Or made me, personally happy. Although I could've stomached Lapointe. But maybe DMac will take care of that so. Either way, we knew Kenny wasn't going to mortgage the farm and that no Wade Belak's were going to join this lineup so we're relegated to feeling like we always feel, that the Wings aren't big enough or tough enough so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Then we have those folks who've been clamboring for more secondary scoring. For you folks, I feel bad for ya. You got a legit gripe that isn't nearly as impossible to fill as those of us wanting to get bigger and tougher. Prospal might've been an option here. That's a bummer for you folks and I totally understand your frustration today. For those of you who are just giving Holland the business because he didn't pick up this guy or that. Holy crap do you people need help. I don't even know where to start. It's like you have this belief that no GM can negotiate a deal with another one until approaching the Wings first to see if we want said player and will pay less for him than the next GM. Give me a break. From where i'm sitting, we're about where we were last year. If the injury bug passes and everyone gets back and DMac hits the lineup. Then i'll take my chances. Last year's squad wasn't big or tough enough for me but they nearly did it. Maybe they can this year to. My fingers are definitely crossed. Anybody who is upset about Hossa. Holy crap did the Pens give up a lot. Esposito and a 1st? That's the benefit of drafting high and having Sid, Malkin, Fleury, Whitney and Staal I suppose. I like this team. I'm still pretty sure we aren't big enough to compete with Anaheim but you never know. That's why we play the damned games anyway. GO WINGS! PS: If Ken Holland isn't the best GM in all of professional sports. He deserves top 10-15 recognition. He's elite. I posted this prior to Stuart. If we got Stuart i'm feeling much, much better already. Whew. I will agree with every single word you said. I will however say if he was waiting on hossa and it kept him from making other moves, he made a big mistake. Edited February 26, 2008 by Majsheppard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting a defensman who won't solve our scoring woes doesn't make me do a 180* with kenny... hell i think i just will say i did a 360* on that move.

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 maybe columbus wouldn't deal with us ... just speculation, but they are in our division ... Maybe not but they already sold their team away and the playoff hopes with it... i don't see why that would really make a difference. Hell its not like he couldn't sign as a FA in the off season with us. They could have taken a pretty decent player from us for him this season instead of a scrub from the Caps this season.
