sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Already happens anyways and the Wings never even needed to fight back. Slash to the chest, punches to the head. So I guess the only solution offered up is just to take the cheap s*** and do nothing at all. Not a solution to me. I agree with you in the sense that taking the abuse being dished out is both embarrassing and bulls***, but I think if any of the Wings went ahead and got retribution by the methods you are recommending that they would literally get pulverized. No exaggeration, I would seriously be worried about the health of whomever wearing the Winged wheel have a slash to the chest or whatever. Doing nothing at all is a horrible solution, one I hate as much as you, but we simply do not have the guys capable of handing it out, and more importantly guys that weather the storm that would follow an act of retribution. Franzen was staring right at the numbers when he made the hit. It was boarder line and if the Wings had a fighter he would have done the same as Walker. Ya, I know -- I didn't want to start a debate on whether or not the hit was clean because it is so far in the past. I was pointing out what would happen, if not worse, if Detroit tried to get retribution in the form of running Mason, or taking a cheap shot -- which they definitely should seeing as though we have been bullied all game - but simply can't given the mentality and temperament of the lineup. If Pavel scores again, I'd vote Dr. Rahmani. Oh how right you are! Oh -- I also figured out how Ozzie is attempting to plug the holes in his game. He supposedly is supporting these bad boys underneath the mask. Look how sleek, and unnoticeable they are: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukianDeak 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 I can't think of one (or imagine a team would do that). It seems like it would backfire given the focus each goalie would likely lose. I don't think they would lose their focus tho, with there respected records in each category it would make sense to try it and the Wings win the Stanley cup by playing last years runner ups back up goaltender cracks me up.

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 St. Patty's coming up- it's the Diggin' o' the Green. Actually, the correct term is St. Paddy's day. Paddy coming from Padraig, which is where we get Patrick from. A friend of mine who is Irish clued me in on that a few years ago after saying she got tired of people saying St. Patty's Day, which is really short for Patricia.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 A thought just occured to me... Perhaps this 300 game thing has been a mental bugaboo for Oz and once he gets past it, he'll be back to the Ozzie we all know and love. His troubles seem to be mental. I don't know- just throwing that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like the thought of our goalies going 5 or 6 days without playing and then being called to win a big game. Not only could they lose their focus, they likely won't be as sharp either.
