Xitium 272 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Wish I could add some of Reilly's idiotic comments. I think they all got deleted by the moron filter. I put that slappy on ignore after it was clear he was just trolling his own team. I'm sure I missed a few gems, heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings3:16 324 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) a few more gems All we needed was a solid 2nd line player, center or wing. I sure hope Franzen, Hudler, or Filpulla can somehow turn into a solid second line sniper over the next few weeks. Although it's very unlikey. Pure Solid Gold. Zion's thread was the best for me I think. Edited May 20, 2008 by Wings3:16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) A few gems re: Kronner. I have an interest in this topic as I was called out for saying he had "potential". We won't get much for him at this point. But If he were to have a real good season say, this upcoming one, he could be trade bait at deadline to get what we need at that point. kronwall's been a disappointment thus far to say the least. i'm guessing he'll have a career full of season ending injuries. that little nugget coupled with his piss-poor decision making and not much offensive upside that i saw at all, and he's not anything i expected or hoped he'd be. only ellis, maltby, and kopecky had worse =/- than kronwall this year. He always has a hard time handling the puck, and his passes are erratic. I don't see this great deal of potential people usually talk about with respect to Kronwall. Even Lilja's sorry giveaway-prone ass managed to outplay him defensively in the regular season, and he tends to become completely invisible offensively as well. Were it not for the blocked shots, constant injuries, and occasional big hits, I'd forget he was even out there. The contract is looking like a mistake so far, and a trade would be nice if this trend continues next year. Nobody will want him, though. I'd love to be wrong, of course, but maybe after all these excellent scouting and contract decisions from the front office, the Wings were due for a mistake. There were so many to choose from.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 I will fully admit that I've had my panicky moments. But I'm proud to say that I never gave up outright on our team. Were there moments I had big doubts? Sure, especially in the first round. But this team has proven thus far that they can rise above the doubters and be successful, no matter what some idiot (myself included ) on a message board says.

stormboy 47 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Link. this is an interesting thread to read through. no comments that i would really call people out for, but the consensus seemed to be that if we had to get rid of franzen, hudler, flipper, or cleary that franzen would be the one to go. obviously no one could have seen his current performance coming, but it's interesting to see people's thoughts on franzen back in january.

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Forums like LGW are for people to express their opinions and emotions in any manor. That's why they come here. Can you imagine how boring this place would be if everyone wrote "The Wings are the best. We're awesome!" or after losing "Oh well, you can't win 'em all. I love you Wings!". Let people vent. Just like it's fun to watch people rejoice over insignificant victories. To each their own. Yep. And yeah this forum would be boring as hell if people were living in Pleasantville all the time. Life ain't that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 Zion's thread after the Predators tied the game in last minute of Game 5 was pricelesss as well. Then after Franzen buried it less than 2 minutes into the first OT, he stated that it didn't change anything. Since then however, he has changed his tune. I will say this: he did take his verbal beating like a man and realized the error of his way. My wife has yet to let me off the hook. Franzenstein's goal kept me from panicking until after game 5 of the Dallas series, and even then (like after San Jose's defeat last year), I've never given up. This is a PROUD day for me!!! Congrats to ALL of you who never stopped believing. This win is for YOU!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
