Booster313 138 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Hossa is obviously injured, that being said, Babcock shouldn't let him play if his injury is that bad. You guys are so ******* fickle. Flip.......Flop.......Flip.......Flop......The bottom line is the Pens out played us. We'll get it back in gm 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I hate people using the injury line as an excuse as to why he's playing so bad. I'm willing to bet plenty of guys are banged up, some more than he is, and they still show one thing Hossa isn't. A bit of heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOwl 77 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 You seriously have an avatar that says "f*** Hossa"? Seriously, get a life. The guy has as many points in the Finals as Crosby does, he led the team in hits last game. It's not like he's been garbage. I'd bet quite a bit of money on him being injured. He got dinged up right at the end of the regular season and he got hurt again during the Anaheim series (if I remember right). If he is hurt, he's out there playing and people are questioning his heart. It's pathetic. Excuse me, but Hossa doesn't have Lidstrom and Zetterberg on him every shift. Hossa is tanking. He's had one or two quality scoring chances in the last 6 games. He's not making anything happen, and he seriously can't generate anything offensively. He chucks the puck, misses the net, or goes on a short skate and loses it. He's not helping or hurting the Wings, and yet he makes 7.45 million a season. He's choking.

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 right now, more than anyone on the team, Hossa is a passenger. If he came here thinking the Wings would win a cup for him, he is sorely mistaken. I've liked the guy during the regular season, but still, been underwelmed with him. To this point, he's only scored goals in 3 games, and has looked terrible everyother game. Tonight, he was our worst player. I thank god for Ozzy, otherwise this game was as much of an embarrassment on the scoresheet as it was on the ice. Yay, I get to avoid sports radio/tv/internet for the next two days. (How many times did they show Crosby during and after the game? the guy has done NOTHING) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Packer487 3 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) if he is dinged up he should be a man and take one for the team and SIT OUT... he is useless out there. He isn't supposed to be crosby out there... BTW KENNEDY has more points than HOSSA?!?!?!?! Why, so then people can ***** about him not sucking it up and gutting it out when he came to Detroit to win the Cup? Wait, so you just poo-poo the fact that he has as many points as Crosby in this series because "He's not supposed to be Crosby" and then bring up that Kennedy has more points than him? Is he supposed to be Tyler Kennedy out there? By the way, that's false. They each have 3 points in this series, and Hossa is up 15-9 for the playoffs. Hossa also has more PPG (points per game, geezus....) than Datsyuk, just sayin.... Edited June 10, 2009 by Packer487 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kluegs17 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 hossa has been strugglin in the playoffs, BUT he did help get the game 7 in detroit with his work in the regular season. i for one want to re sign him. remember when dats struggled in the playoffs early in his career. i have no worries, regardless of how hossa plays, i'm confident the rest of teh wings will be there to decide it. Hossa will be there to play. Ummm...Hossa is a veteran so not a good comparison to Datsyuk "early in his career" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Hossa is hurting/injured. There is no doubt about it, it's impossible for him not to be. I was watching some of his goal highlights on nhl.com, he just isn't skating like he was. I'd bet my life we hear of an injury after the finals are over.

Mitchmac33 103 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 Ummm...Hossa is a veteran so not a good comparison to Datsyuk "early in his career" All i'm sayin is don't give up hope, sign him next year and maybe he'll tear it up while going for the 3 peat.

Seriously. He led the goddamn team in hits last game, set up our second goal while the game was still in doubt (and turned to give Ozzie his props for the long pass before he even celebrated the goal with the rest of the team), and has 15 points in the playoffs. And he's more than likely hurt. He's not a piece of crap. thats like saying people who say f***/PUCK Bettman are not a fan of hockey... It is completely the same thing. Do you like having Game 7 at home? Because he did a helluva lot more to help the Wings to get home ice than your boy did this regular season..... (BTW, I freely admit that by and large, Osgood has been great in the playoffs...don't take this past sentence as me saying otherwise) At least Hossa hasn't gotten SENT HOME for a lack of effort. What's more likely? That he all of a sudden said "f*** this, I don't feel like playing hard anymore" after he was phenomenal all season, or that he got hurt late in the regular season (which is a fact) and is still injured. I'm going with the latter. And he still hasn't been that bad. Edited June 10, 2009 by Packer487 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about tonight when hossa had a open ice hit and laned on his ass as the player moved up the ice with the puck. Hits mean s*** when you team is down by 1!

spydrwebb 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 osgod - having paid attention now to your contributions here for years, i am absolutely appalled and ashamed of your conduct. you simply have made a very questionable judgment by choosing to change your avatar to "f*ck hossa," let alone to do it with pride. clearly you're not aware of how this is wrong on too many levels so i'll try and give you the benefit of the doubt. however, i have come to expect more from you and have normally enjoyed your veteran perspective and overall dedication to DRW hockey. we all make mistakes. i believe this is the time to admit the error of your ways and humble yourself by conceding this immature platform you've chosen against a player who made countless sacrifices to even have the opportunity to play here. regardless of the reasons for his lack of offensive production in the final series, you are out of line for the behavior you've exhibited here. mine is only one opinion but several others have already begun to point out these unfortunate actions by you. i hope you'll reconsider your position and take your attitude down several levels. believe me, i know you're better than what you're showing... and you do, too.

PDX Wingman 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 I am not impressed with his play either this playoffs, but he is a reason why game 7 is in Detroit and not in Pissburgh. He played well for the team all season and helped them achieve a higher seed for the playoffs. That's a stretch. When was the last time the Wings finished less than a four seed, let alone anything less than a division champ. Hossa sucks. He's only had one good playoff.
