Carman 387 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 But did our "Best Player" finish his break away did he score???? NOPE!!!!!!!! He did nothing better than anyone else.... he was just as average as all the other guys out there.. Exactly, but he is also average in salary. So that's why he>Datsyuk. Cry more.

Yak19 303 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 Why are people getting on Bert? our superstars need to be scratched next game, Datsyuk and Zetterberg = they were floating and putting pathetic shots on Conklin.... padding stats Holmer, Meech, Leino(already is) also need to have a seat next game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest VAL FILPPULA Report post Posted December 10, 2009 You don't deserve to win when your shot selection is atrocious and the quality chances you DO get glide over the top of the net. The Wings deserved to lose tonight. Powerplay is ridiculously bad for all the 'so called' talent. No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man Datsyuk can't even play as many games as the older Bertuzzi. Wow I didn't even realize Bertuzzi was more durable then Datsyuk as well. Thanks for the info!

Bluedevils_13 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 I really thin Abdelkader deserves the minutes he's been getting. I think he could do well in front of the net on the PP. I wouldn't mind seeing him on a line with Cleary, but that probably wouldn't help Cleary score. I wonder if the Kings would be willing to trade Frolov, even though they are probably going to make the playoffs. Wings could use another scorer, and he could easily get 30 on the Wings.

There's a million reasons. Honestly, though, Bertuzzi is an outsider and unliked by fans because of the Moore incident. People will obviously be harder on him than on guys who have been here a long time. Not me of course, because I'll criticize anyone who isn't playing well, whether they've been here for 10 years or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yak19 303 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 Bert was the least of our problems tonight Zetterberg and Datsyuk doing their best Sammy impressions and when they weren't they were missing the net by 10 feet. Blueline contributes nothing to the offensive. (Need Kronwall NOW!) Bertuzzi had the tying goal, quick whistle was fail for the 4th time in the last 8 games.

Miss Wing Queen 154 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 I feel bad for all the reporters and how hard is must be for them (1) to continually come up with questions that haven't been asked 100x before in all the past losses, (2) not to laugh in the players'/coaches' faces when they regurgitate the same old responses, and (3) to not crack and just yell out in the dressing room, "Why the F**K can't you all play a damn hockey game like you mean it!?!"

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 I hope Bertuzzi's play doesn't ruin his chances of making it on Team Canada for the Olympics. I'm sure Yzerman will still give him a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) People are really turning on Datsyuk. But frankly, Zetterberg is disappointing too. I would be on their case more, but the whole team seems snakebitten. But seriously, after all the talk about how Datsyuk and Zetterberg were among the best in the world, what the hell happened? Both are still solid defensively, but just aren't getting it done like superstars on other teams, even crappy ones. I don't buy that Datsyuk is "getting old." He's still dangling and pulling crazy moves, and he's not that old. Just some fans seem to think after 30 you magically start sucking. Plenty of players stay in their prime well into their mid-30s. He, like everyone else, just seems to have forgotten how to time his shots and keep up the pressure. They all seem hesitant with the puck. Bizarre theory: Has Babcock's focus on making forwards defensive somehow made them forget how to score? EDIT: Holland CAN"T make a trade. Unless he gave up someone like Helm, Abdlekdaer, etc. And even then no one would take much for rookies. Face it, we're stuck with this until summer.
