skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 Pronger will teach Leino the ways of the force and Leino will lay a hit on one of our stars so good they'll be injured for an entire season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 From March '09: Restricted free agent forward Ville Leino said he expects to get a deal done with the Wings but said he is done playing in Grand Rapids and would want to be assured he will have a roster spot with the team. "I don't want to play in the AHL anymore, and I won't do that anymore,'' Leino said. Someone should have told Ville to be assured a spot you would have to show a little effort on the ice. Good luck Ville, won't miss your attitude though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck Ville, won't miss your attitude though. Has anyone really even seen that interview, ever? In what media was that posted? I find it kinda hard to imagine that he really meant it like "won't", even if that's what he said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may explain some of his other questionable comments after being benched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Zombos Ghost 82 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 "On Ville Leino... Not in the line-up tonight against NJ after the Flyers struggled in Edmonton and Minnesota to score goals. Very curious. I commended Holmgren on this move and was even told Leino was slated to play with Briere and Carter. Not having him in the line-up this evening is very out of character for the Flyers. Something else may be up here. I don't think the Flyers are done." Per Ecklund...for what its worth. It sounds like he shouldn't unpack his bags yet....
