Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) “Detroit is on a bit of a roll,” Tootoo said after the morning skate at Sommet Center Monday morning. “We have to worry about ourselves. There’s going to be a lot of emotion, but at the same time we just have to stay on an even keel. “It’s been a pretty physical series so far. They’ve got some guys that don’t like to be hit, and we’ve got to key on those guys tonight. But we don’t want to go out of our way to make the big hit; we’ve got to make plays and keep it simple.” Freepress I hope to see Mac/Pain Train shut this fooker up.

Inultus 12 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Why? Why do they need to key on guys that don't like to be hit? Will hitting someone score them a goal? Now if you are talking about hitting to get a turnover or hitting to get someone off their game, I can appreciate that, but it sounds like he's talking about hitting to take someone OUT of the game...and the way he has played in the past pretty much proves that to me. Dirty hit from 22 = Fight with Mac, Franzen, Lilja or Cleary, I don't care who. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincanni 1 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Is this one of those player's on our team that dislike being hit? ...And for the record who actually likes being hit? Tootoo's quite the philosopher with that wisdom of his. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kira 451 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 You put the hurt on him so bad he has to eat his grits through a straw. Darren has already said he's not going to put up with this guy, and now is the time to put the force behind the words. If not D-Mac, then maybe Aaron, Dallas or Andreas. Any one of them could do some damage. I liked the hit Dallas put on the other day - that was a great shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Hasn't that been the secret to beating Det for the past 10 years, they are soft Euros that don't want to be hit? I see nothing new or controversial here, other than the person who said it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winged Scooter 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Okay, based on what a "stand up guy" and "character" player TooToo is, why on EARTH would anyone lose sleep over ANYTHING this guy has to say? Edited April 14, 2008 by Winged Scooter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akustyk 84 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 jesus christ... give this guy a break. he just said it's better to look for those players who don't get well along with being hit. which is perfectly understandable. Wings do the same with Preds players except they don't talk about it. and honestly... as much as I used to hate Tootoo, this guy has picked it up this series and is one of Preds best players if not the best. he's agitating but at the same time keeping good eye on the other aspects of the game. he's scored 2 goals on us (sure it's luck but he worked for them too) is present on the ice and gives his team a legit minutes. unlike a number of their other players who just disappear. I sure would like one of our players to make him pay but not because the role Tootoo does but because of how important he is to his team's chances. at this moment he's their key player and one of the best. if not the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tootoo's quite the philosopher with that wisdom of his. I love that clip... and I'm "in it". We had 3rd row seats right behind the Wings goal for that one. IIRC, the next line out of Mickey after the end of that clip was "Somebody better tell Tootoo that the trade deadline has passed!"

It's just a dumb comment to even make. there was a kid on my high school lacrosse team who loved to be hit. He was a beast, but it fired him up if he got hit. IMO, it could be the same for some NHLers.........just speculatin though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedLightGoesOn 81 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 The correct answer is: Detroit has a 2-0 lead and is going to spank our puppies. I want a replica of "Fight Night at the Joe" -- except have it in at the Sommet Center to the theme of Dukes of Hazard. And of course, D-Mac winning all 12 rounds (that means fighting every 5 minutes for the entire game). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lidsyukerberg 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) 2 wrongs don't make it right! We'll ignore this and play our game! No but three lefts do. BEAT HIM IN THE HEAD!!!! I'm sorry, that wasn't right. Actually, I'm pretty sure that he didn't say anything that wasn't said in the Detroit locker room, his statement was just written down. I think if the Wings just stick with their game there shouldn't be any problems. The Preds have played using Tootoo's philosophy every time they have played us, I think he just verbalized it to try and shake up our team. I don't think it will, Detroit has known that this is how they play all along. It's nothing new, just verbalized is all. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only thing that concerns me is a panicked Nashville team running at our key players in an effort to try and stay in this thing. But I don't think it will have anything to do with Tootoo's statement. --edited for spelling-- Edited April 14, 2008 by Lidsyukerberg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
