Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 But you just said the offense wasn't the problem. So which is it? Should've explained it better. The first unit doesnt need another forward. They need defenceman. We do need more offence from the 2nd line, but I'd rather get rid of Filpula/Hudler/Samuelson/Franzen for a couple different players. But honestly, f*** it. Get Hossa, as long as it means no more Samuelson or Hudler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Fan of gritty North American players? You picked a wrong team. This whole NA vs. Europe thing is so old. Soooooo old. Adding another star would just make our second line that much better. What is so hard to understand about this? The lines would look like this, hypothetically: Hossa-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Zetterberg-Filpulla-Cleary And variations for the lower line. This is better than what we ahve now. The logic of "don't add a star, we need an unpredictable second liner" is retarded. That's the only word for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 The sky is falling... Half the team is injured, so in turn when they are healthy they will NOT win in the playoffs... Its a slump, with a lot of injuries, they will get healthy again soon. And I'd rather lose now than 2 months from now. If the Wings can hold on to the 1st spot.... Other teams are gaining ground quick.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dicksmack 33 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 I'll be so pissed if Holland ends up giving away the future for a rental. This team is going nowhere this year even with Hossa or Sundin. I guess the the top team gets a lot of jealous trolls on their site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Man one losing streak and the team is destined for horrible things... Too bad no other teams have had losing streaks this year...wait they have... Oh man you mean the Wings can have a losing streak with 7 guys out...man the team is horrible then... Lets just turn in for the year...at least the tigers are starting right... (sarcasm if you were wondering) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

datsyukismyfriend 4 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 well, our lead in the west is slowly evaporating. before our monumental skid i didn't even consider not winning the president's (not that it's that important). this team really isn't doing much out there at all. we need people back and i hope holland's taking a hard look at his squad because it is definitely missing some pieces. i liked babcock's quoted comment about in his experience tomorrow never comes. thinking about the future is great, and obviously you don't want to trade your whole future away, but the time is now. who knows what tomorrow will bring, holland needs to act today.

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Finns' are weak though just like the Sweeds Yeah, Jarkko Ruutu's a *****. So is Ville Nieminen And Sami Kapanen sure looked like a ***** when he got that flying elbow to his head and laid on the ice causing a whistle so the Flyers couldn't score and win in OT. Oh wait, that's exactly the opposite of what happened. Finns have Sisu, and it shows when they play hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is as badly a bruised up lineup has ever been iced in years. Did you not expect there to be trouble? Come one. Everyone needs to calm down. Obviously things are bad now, but this honestly won't hurt us in the long run. Hell, maybe we lose the Presidents Trophy. O f***! But whenever we win that we always win the cup too. We all need to excercise a little patience and just be realistic, maybe look at the bright side. We've got a real solid goalie for the future, and Erickson is looking impressive too.

Hossa is 29, he can be the future when he is locked up for 4-5 years. And it's a better future than what Flip puts on the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivalred 630 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 To anyone who is reading my posts, with the injuries mounting and the team playing in circles it just furthers the issues the team has had with scoring of late. The Wings need to acquire a forward that will make an impact and create a 2nd line that gives the Wings a 1-2 punch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point is IF the Wings continue with their slide and fall back in the standings it might have a cascade effect. And the last time I looked the Wings have not locked up a playoff spot yet....
