I don't think so..The Vancouver game told all I need to know about this team. All that game told us was if half of the team can't play because of injuries they will be in trouble. Show me any team that will flourish with the kinds of injuries that the Wings had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NHLrules? 32 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Yes we will. And the game the other night told us the team is crippled from injury. Thats all. However, I dont think we can take a legit shot at the cup even with a healty team unless we fix our blueline and get someone who can score not named ZDH. Oh, and we need to put Samela out to pasture.

StevieBoy 2 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Wow...quite the attitude. The wings are in the middle of their worst slump in years and it coincides perfectly with massive injuries across the blueline. Players recover from injuries and slumps end. What has happened so far in the trading that suggests the Wings, once back to their form of a few weeks ago, would be so likely to fall out in the first round?

Frozen-Man 144 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Seriously, the Vancouver game? Where we were without the vast majority of our defense? How about the enitre rest of the season before we got so many injuries that we hardly have a team in Grand Rapids anymore. I'm not saying that the recent slump should not be a concern but lets have some perspective. The team that played Vancouver does not resemble what our will probably look like come playoffs.

The Enforcer 13 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 We need some depth. I'd be ok with Fedorov and Stuart. Fix the holes.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnightFire420 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 People really do need to chill out. Another first round exit? Yes that's happened in the past but it didn't happen last year. The Wings were in the final 4 so I wouldn't be to worried about this team. I actually think this team healthy is better than last years team and so we should do better already, anything after the trade deadline is bonus. Relax.

cirov19 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Hahhahahahahaha, the team is winning this year, with a trade or without one. Hopefully with one... but I still have faith in this team and that they can win. The Vancouver game meant nothing, as soon as everybody is healthy again we will start winning again. I can't wait until Cleary is baack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yemack 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 This streak started when Cleary went down, and I don't think it is a coincidence. how many times do I have to say this but that is flat out wrong. We've been playing terrible but won in the end, way before he got hurt and we lost to the worst team in the league before he got hurt. We were just tired and exausted. Obviously Cleary is an important piece on our team but the reason we lost is not because he is out of the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardcoretom21 71 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 What the f*ck is going on here? why are there still people panicking? Geez did the Sens and Ducks make a move last year when they made it to the finals??? Holland is GM for a reason, if the prices are too steep, the Wings can work around it geez I can't believe we're seeing these kinds of threads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously Cleary is an important piece on our team but the reason we lost is not because he is out of the lineup. This team has played a similar number of games as the rest of the team in the league, I guarantee that conditioning isn't an issue. Cleary brings it every night on both ends of the ice. He makes plays that end up with the puck in the net at one end and keeps it out at the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
