brb having a kid so the wings can call him up :)

Be glad I wasn't eating or drinking anything when I read that, or you would have owed me a new netbook :lol: .

Sad thing is, with the way the team has been getting injured, that's not out of the realm of possibility <_< .

imagine the possibilities for our playoff lineup with guys showing they can put up secondary scoring

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmer

Miller/Bert-Flip-Franzen

Eaves-Helm-Cleary

Abs/Leino-Maltby-Draper

Lidstrom-Rafa

Stuart-Kronwall

Big E-Lilja

With the depth we have diluting the top 6 like that is just dumb. Z and D need to be together, along with Flip on a scoring 2nd line.

Filppula is an excellent 3rd line centre but he's an average second line centre (at best). I'd rather have 3 strong lines than 1 really strong line and 2 ok lines.

ROOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing happened to Leino. You're just failing to account for varying factors that affect play. Coming up in the middle of the season when guys are injured is a totally different mental approach to being a regular member of a pro team. I am not shocked at all that he's struggled this year. I've been saying it for awhile too, warning y'all when you scoffed at our scoring issues when everyone left over the summer. Leino still has a lot of skill, but he needs time to develop in the NHL. Don't give up on him yet. Again...

ROOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbup: Thank you.

I'm not giving up on him. He just should be in the press-box, he doesnt work hard, or PK, and he's scored 1 goal since the 1st week of the season. Rookie or not, he doesnt deserve to be playing.

And how do you propose he will get better? He's playing because the Wings want him to get the experience and learn out there. He'll be no better next year if he spends the rest of this season in the press-box.

Wsa this the least impressive (winning) boxscore in Redwings history? Gotta be honest with you, it doesn't even feel like I'm watching the wings right now.

Still 8th place!!! :thumbup:

If we make the playoffs, this could be the season that Babs finally wins coach of the year.

Yeah, uh... See what Drake_Marcus said. You don't pair up Z and Dats unless you absolutely have to.

Check the stats. When Z and D were playing together recently, they didn't do very well. In fact, we got shut out by St. Louis.

Split up? We won 3 straight. They're better apart.

Leino is softer than Charmin!! If he's still playing like this at the deadline try and get something for him.

Hm, I think he's been playing a lot stronger since coming back from being scratched. Protecting the puck better, winning more battles.. he's still got a long way to go, but he's showing improvement imo.

agreed, he looks like Bert in the fact they are making things happen, but they just can't finish. I really wish Datsyuk could get going also
