Stiffy 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2009 Grit. Used to be the thing people talked about constantly regarding the Wings. No grit, not gritty enough... darn Europeans... Just a few questions to think about. Who has more grit, Wings or Penns? Who had more last year? Did it take grit to beat the Ducks this year? Would you call Darren Helm a gritty player? How about Cleary? How about a super star like Hank? Kronvall? Stuart? It may not be 1997 grit, but its damn good. The Penns will be experiencing this grit in about one hour and 6 minutes!

Winning sure helps It was until we won the cup that the grit complaints stopped. So you're right, winning sure does help. I will never forget last years trade deadline thread. That was brutal.

Stiffy 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Maybe we need a definition of grit here. If it just means fighting, then that is not what I am talking about. The Wings are, I think, gritty. They work hard, they battle and they hit - all added to a complete team game with skill and speed galore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
