titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Maltby feels as if he doesn't get enough ice time? Or Sammy wants more time in the top-6? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously must every writer in the U.S. knows dick about hockey and even less about the Wings. So f*** him Dang, no mercy eh? But there is a precedent when it comes to the way the press covers the Wings. Wasn't Babcock supposed to be fired early in '06-'07 when the team struggled through a western road trip? If anyone's cranky it's probably Chelios, but then when isn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For all we know that could be Lang or someone that isn't even with the team any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) It means that he heard from a very "reliable" source that one player made a comment regarding his diminished ice team. Babcock then proceeding to pull out his whip and lash said player 30 times on the back, just to teach him a lesson. Afterwards, they hugged and drank beer, talking about the good ol' days. In seriousness: It means the person writing that has no idea what he's talking about. Edited February 18, 2009 by Ms_Hockey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
