BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Don't read too much into that second goal guys. It hit a leg and made Theo go down and out. I know its a goal, and I'll take it, but its a gimmie goal nonetheless. So? 2 of the 3 goals Columbus scored the other night were on stupid bounces. Them's the breaks....sorry your boy Theodore couldn't stop the puck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 I still say Kopy would make good trade bait to anyone interested in Hossa. Treat him nice, and he'll put in a good word. Not that I don't want Hossa back- I really do- but that's for another thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeWingsfan80 209 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Kronner also spent a lot of time playing with Lidstrom earlier in his career. At any rate, people seem to forget that Kronwall has been mediocre for most of his career. His great late sesason playoff performance last year was the exception, not the rule. Exactly. He is what he is....and what he is is a top 4 D-man for just about every other team in the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Them's the breaks....sorry your boy Theodore couldn't stop the puck My boy Theodore? Right....got me there. As I said before: I'm simply saying it doesn't make up for the lackluster play. It was a lucky goal and really need to step it up if we're gonna come out of this with a win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that hes a Top 4 Dman doesn't take away from the fact that his defensive perfromance has been bottom-pairing material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said before: Well you seem to be more convinced of the Wings losing than the Wings doing anything good within the game, so I can only assume you are cheering for The Greaseball and the Caps....

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 When the pass was made, he had his sort of turned to the camer, I was the 3 as the second number and I thought it was Franzen for a second. Moments later, it was clear it was Draper that had the puck, and I laughed as he shot it along the ice into Theodore's pad. The Wings are coming close. Leino is doing an awesome job.

Convinced? Not really convinced of anything. I just calls em like I sees em . Obviously unlike you, I take off my homer glasses when I watch hockey, regardless if its my team or not.
