GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Well, Glad to finally be done listening to those announcers slaughter the Wings players' names. Can't wait to actually SEE some Wings hockey, but a good start. Good game by Tardif Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Great game by Meech and Larsson according to the guy who picked the three stars. Well I'm waiting for Howard to prove he belongs here. One soft goal tonight, but I guess it could've been worse. Still-- Larsson was better. The Wings will likely keep a short leash on Howard this season. It'll be tough, though, since he can't go to the minors and they won't want to lose an asset like him (former blue chip prospect) for nothing-- especially since goalies are such unpredictable subjects.

This is why we still have Cloutier around, no? Sorry. Couldn't resist. Also, the whiskey helps. Especially when it comes to this: Other than that, they're a couple of tampon vacuums. If this had come from anyone else mouth... I would be !!shocked!! I think it has become my favorite new term of endearment. ...and by "endearment" I mean something I will sling at my worst-est of foes.

ltgator333 3 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 couldn't help but notice Meech played more minutes than anyone- being showcased? nice to see Pronger on the losing side of another wings' game, and in a flyers jersey to boot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak19 303 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 I'm not the biggest fan of Delmore, but the color guy is ripping him apart. I don't care if you played with Andy Delmore for one year dude. Guess what? He's still playing. You're sitting on your fat ass jealously ripping on him. Douchebag. +1 Helm will be out for the beginning of the season, would like to see Jeremy Williams in for that time. Howard better shape up. GO WINGS!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah, really...but consider the source, I guess. Love the Pronger boo birds. I can't wait til he meets up with Milan Lucic in Boston and Milan beats the living s*** out of him. Lucic won't go after someone bigger then him. Nor will Pronger go with someone who can stand a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 If the Philly announcers are commenting on Draper's speed, I'd say he's still got it. Good to hear. How's your summer going, Karen? Great, I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peleshob 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 +1 Helm will be out for the beginning of the season, would like to see Jeremy Williams in for that time. Howard better shape up. GO WINGS!!!!! I have a feeling they might add Abdelkader instead, but anything could happen. I think the issue with Williams is that he's kind of one-dimensional. I've always been a bigger fan of Larsson. I even think that he could beat out McCollum and Pearce too. The guy is pretty much stone cold when it comes to emotion, and just had injury/conditioning issues last season when his numbers dipped. I'm pretty excited to see how he does after a summer of conditioning training and as the starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Easily the worst. commenatary. ever. Disgraceful. Hey at least Ritola had a good game. What do you see his potential as? Many say at best he'll be like a PJ Axelsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 With the current roster, Howard still remains to be the weak link IMO. I just don't think he can handle the backup job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 Hey at least Ritola had a good game. What do you see his potential as? Many say at best he'll be like a PJ Axelsson. Ritola. Pleased that he had a good showing today. I like his story. Wasn't really acheiving much over in Sweden yet the Wings still took a punt and re-signed him. Ever since he's been here he's really worked hard to prove himself and to shake the lazy tag that he arrived with. I love this quote: "Laziness is not a factor at all. You know what? If I hadn't heard that before he got here, I wouldn't have known that about him. In the time he's been with us, he's worked hard. His upside is probably a third-line guy but he can play the fourth line. He's probably going to play in the NHL". He's got good size, a good skill level, can play on both special teams and I see him being a very well-rounded player similar to P.J. Axelsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 I like his story. He was willing to come to NA and learn a new style. I think that's now a point of emphasis for future Euro picks. How willing are they to come to NA? Are they strong enough to deal with the culture change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
