redeyedwings 2 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 Not a bad argument from Dirty Games: Structure is the basis for everything the Red Wings have achieved in the past 20 years. It’s the force behind Darren Helm’s, Jonathan Ericsson’s and (eventually) Justin Abdelkader’s seamless transition to the NHL. It’s the reason Mikael Samuelsson went from unsigned pre-Wings to a healthy payday post-Wings. It’s why Daniel Cleary brought a big shiny trophy back to Newfoundland and why Larry Murphy was wonderful in Pittsburgh, terrible in Toronto, and then wonderful again in Detroit. And — you all knew where this was headed — it’s the reason Patrick Eaves is scoring 20 goals this season, provided he doesn’t suffer an injury. http://dirtygames.ca/2009/08/you-bring-the...-the-structure/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 I say 10. But don't worry, our next signing will be the 20 goal scorer. Hopefully it comes soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 20? That's being pretty hopeful. I'd be thrilled if they can squeeze 15 goals out of him. 20 sure would feel good, though. I'm more hoping he turns out to be an excellent PKer who provides lots of hustle, backchecking and energy. Cleary will likely spend the entire season on the top 6, so we need another Cleary type of player to be a 3rd line winger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 Now, I promise you, there will be structure. I would wager whatever you care to put up that either today or tomorrow there will be a phone conversation between Patrick Eaves and Mike Babcock. The discussion won’t take long, but Patrick Eaves will hang up the phone feeling more comfortable about his career as a hockey player than he has since his rookie season, when his ceiling was as high as his Senators teammates were getting in the dressing room.
