My dream 4th line for what the Wings have available this year:

Oh my God... Please, Babs. PLEASE!!! No more Williams. For God's sake you stubborn idiot, do the right thing.

[titanium2]

Abdelkader will be in, his forecheck and physicality is needed on the 4th line. I dont think May gets in for Drapes right away, but should Draper have a bad game I could see Babs not hesitating to put him in.

Umm... How about now? Please, Babs.

[Aussie_Wing]

Abdelkader must come in for Worthless Williams.

Thing is, how does Babcock not see it? What could he possibly see in Williams that his overall effectiveness is good in his eyes? He's the best coach in the league... Right?

[dirtydangles]

when was the last time williams scored or assisted on a pp goal?? like a long time i think. not as effective as people think

Well, I mean, who here thinks he's decently effective? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

[crotty99]

YES!

Question, why does stuart not get PP time on the second unit? Yes he's left handed but come on..

[titanium2]

Well this I have an answer for that I actually buy. It's a matter of minute distribution. Only Lidstrom, Kronwall and sometimes Zetterberg play in all situations this year. Stuart doesn't play on the PP because they need his minutes to be on the PK; just like Rafalski doesn't play on the PK because they need him on the PP. It's why Eaves can't play the PP point either. It's supposed to be Williams' job but he sucks at doing good things with the puck even when he has time with it.

...effectively lowering the value of professional hockey players in general due to his complete lack of effort or heart. Does that count?

...effectively pissing me right the f*ck off. Does that count?

...effectively making me s*** my pants on a bi-nightly basis. That one doesn't count, because its just not true.

Ah i see, that makes sense I guess.

As bad as Big-E has been this year, I wonder how he would go on the PP. He does seem to be more offensive minded. More so than Williams is apparently.

[titanium2]

Yeah, that's a good point. Other than Williams, Eaves is our only right handed shot right now with Maltby not playing.

I wonder how many other teams only have 1 or 2 players who shoot right handed?

At this point I would rather have Rafalski play the whole 2 minute power play than have Williams out there. Yeah he'll get tired out. But honestly, doesn't that seem like such a good option right now?

Seriously. He's good at all those things and NONE of them are related to being a good professional hockey player. None.

soo....anyone missing samuelson?

Atleast he could score and setup from time to time. Much more than Williams.

Hell yes. Very few people on here thought Williams would be better than Sammy.

And at least Sammy had some sex appeal.

Even the old chicks on that water cooler thread don't have anything nice to say about Williams.

Well, I mean, from their point of view Williams and Lebda probably look like those ****** hambones wanna be Abercrombie and Fitch morons.

I Agree that Abdelkader should come in. I'm pretty sure Bab's will announce this tomorrow.

Hopefully he'll replace the right player.

[DirtyD]

To the best of my knowledge, Williams only uses professional hockey as a source of income to support his primary career, professional D-Bag.



Though I'll happily admit that I know absolutely nothing about Williams personal, non-hockey ventures, from what little tid-bits I've gathered, I can only assume that he meets at least half of the above criteria.
