Zetterberg has been amazing this season, apart from the first few games when he was still trying to get going after the groin trouble.

10 goals in almost 30 games is not amazing.

Many people here think of him as a 40 or potentially 50 goal scorer as was evidenced in offseason threads.

He's disappointed this year, even though he's been our best forward. He just looks good compared to our other forwards statistically.

Good thing we've got another hard working player to replace him in Leino :rolleyes:

Jesus.

Call someone up from Grand Rapids. Theres plenty of guys down there that will add a bit of spark: Williams, Newbury, Tardif, Tatar...list is endless. Far better options than Leino.

i wouldn't say amazing. he's at a ppg pace, which is good, but not amazing. he's on pace for 27 or 28 goals, again, good, but not "amazing."

You have such a weak grasp on reality. You're probably one of the ones who thought leino would have a 50 point season.

I worry that this is putting too much too soon on the shoulders of our kids. But Helm, Abdelkader, Howard, Meech, and yes Leino will have to really step up in a way they weren't expected to for this team to pull through. It could make them develop rapidly, or it could stunt their growth.

Get well soon Danny :( (...and Franzen, Flip, Kronners, Lilja, Williams, and anyone else who is nursing injuries but have to play through them now.)

There goes any shot Danny had at the Olympics :(. Worse then that, we lose 7 goals, and big minutes on the PP and PK. Leino will just come back in and float around, I'd rather see someone from GR up, at least they'd play hard. Man, I hate to sound negative, but we're just not good enough with all these guys out, if we cant score a goal against St Louis of all teams, what are we gonna doo...

All that withstanding, if we by some hand of god make the playoffs, it'll be a miracle and no top seed will want to play us.

I don't know how Zetterberg is disappointing people right now. He is one of the only players you can watch every night and see that he's giving 100% on every shift. He has looked great, point production or not.

Yeah some people just seem to watching the statistics on NHL.com instead of the actual games. 30 points in 30 games is not bad, but he has looked much better than his stats show.

No s***.

Jackman should be dead. Morr goonz1!!!one!!!eleven!

I still haven't had a chance to watch the game. Did Jackman do it to him? And does anybody think it was a clean hit? Seriously, I want to know what you (all or whoever) think(s) because right now I may not be able to watch the game soon.

I think, even with the "natural goal scorer" thread, people are forgetting that Zetterberg is not a natural goal scorer, he is a playmaker. The main reason Datsyuk and Zetterberg work so well together is because neither is a pure scorer and they play the game the same way.

Feel free to explain your opinion of why my grasp on reality is so weak.

And for the record I never expect Leino to have a 50 point season. Ive never been as high on him as everyone else on this site. We have far better prospects.

So who's out alltogether? Its getting hard to keep track of everyone.

Franzen

Filppula

Williams

Cleary

Kronwall

Lilja

Geez we seriously have more than an entire line that wouldn't normally be playing that's suiting up each night.

This is true. Abdelkader, May, and Meech would be in GR with May coming up once in awhile and then Miller probably wouldn't have been signed if our whole team was healthy.

Well if you still are looking for a way to see the game, this thread might help:

I'd agree with you if it weren't for his anemic goal total. He's on pace for fewer than 30 goals this season... not cool.

Right now the Wings desperately need Zetterberg to score goals.
