Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Just in a slump. We'll dominate the Blues tomorrow and everyone will be happy. Would like to see May back in the line-up, if we aren't winning I'd atleast like to see some faces punched. And if we don't dominate them, we'll dominate the Stars, and then if we don't dominate them, we'll dominate the Oilers, and then if we don't dominate them, we'll dominate the Devils, and then if we don't dominate them, we'll dominate the rangers, and then if we don't dominate them... I mean, it's only the 24th game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown_Ryan 122 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 These injuries are really starting to show. I know most of you don't want to make that a reason for poor play, but c'mon. I agree. When you look at the grit and scoring ability that is out licking the wounds right now it really makes a difference. I just hope we find a way to win a few games and build from there. Good Luck to them In St. Louis tomorrow. Ill be watching again cause its what us fans do. Go Wings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 give abdelkader more time AGREED!! He's looked good of late, why not give him more time? It's frustrating seeing him on the 4th line receiving token minutes. Stick him with Datsyuk, okay it's an entirely different level but he showed in the AHL he can be a goal scorer. Give him a chance Babs, seriously, could it be worse than what the current lines are producing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Well crap. The disallowed goal in the 1st really set the tone. But the Wings played really good in the 2nd, and deserved a goal.. the early 3rd period goal obviously killed off any energy the players had. I don't know what can be done. None of the lines are playing exceptionally bad. Even Pavel's line created some chances. It's hard to shuffle the lines with the material we have right now. But something needs to change. The team is just in a bad place at the moment. They need to snap out of it somehow. Do I really need to post that picture of Sundin again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 give abdelkader more time true, he deserves it. I think it may be time for Babs to seriously consider putting Datsyuk with guys like Abby and Helm. He can do almost everything himself, he just needs guys that work hard and can keep up with him on his line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, it's only the 24th game. The word "if" isn't in my vocabulary. The Red Wing's are the best team in the league, and will win every game they play. No exceptions.

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Do I really need to post that picture of Sundin again? I'd gladly take Sundin instead of Bertuzzi. While we're at it, sign Naslund and Forsberg too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, it's only the 24th game. I was thinking the same thing! After May's disallowed goal, we were gonna come out firing the next game. Then Knonner's injury was gonna get us real pissed!

Hell, at least Forsberg would have an excuse to be on his face instead of on his feet, WTF is up with Bertuzzi falling ass over tea-kettle all over the place?? The one last night was a joke, lol.

uk_redwing 495 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 OK...who do you trade tho. Hmm...Bertuzzi, Lebda, Meech are the three that immediately spring to mind. Trade them for used towels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown_Ryan 122 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Hmm...Bertuzzi, Lebda, Meech are the three that immediately spring to mind. Trade them for used towels. Thats kinda what my point was... anyone worth trading, is not gonna be... and those we can afford to trade bring nothing in return that helps this team now. We have to ride this year out! simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 Hmm...Bertuzzi, Lebda, Meech are the three that immediately spring to mind. Trade them for used towels. No one will want them. Tradeable players? Helm, Abdelkader, Leino, Kronwall, Franzen, Cleary, Datsyuk, Stuart, Howard, Eaves, Flippula, Ericsson, Kindl. Few of those have NTC and I'm missing a few, but those are some the players that other teams would want. We really shouldn't make a big move, but if we do make a move it better involve a young talented goal scorer, young talented defensive defenseman, or a veteran backup/starter to ease the way for hopefully Larsson/Howard/McCollum to develop into an NHL starter.

Um I dont think those players would EVER be traded, Unless Stewie waives his NTC , could Trade Lame-o , but no return would be offered. draft pick? doesnt help us now. which is what we need And everything, except the goaltender, we have.. they are on IR right now! Franzen IS a young talented goal scorer and Kronwall is a good defensive D-man. so Is Lilja. Its just hard when we have no bargaining power Edited November 28, 2009 by Hockeytown_Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FedorovMan91 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I am really happy I did not watch this game. I hope some optimists finally have realized this team is in trouble. Where are those people who say the Wings did not play full effort game if they lose? Gotta be sharp to see this team. This team has injuries, lack of defenses, crappy pk, and becoming one line team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
