Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 21, 2010 My thoughts. Owens has a real s*** at making this team as a 4th liner in the future. Speed and toughness, he's like a Helm that fights. What would this entail? 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hey man nice shot! 144 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 I would of traded big e back when he had trade value...either that or take my chances passing him through waviers and making him a winger in GR lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
servo 15 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 vFlip/iFlip LOL. iFlip. Thats funny. It was a real treat to see our talent vs our talent. This is the first red/white game that I've seen. It was awesome to see Lidstrom poke check the puck off of Franzens stick. The best part is our prospects look very solid! There are a ton of up and comming talent. I can't wait to see Tatar in the NHL. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I would of traded big e back when he had trade value...either that or take my chances passing him through waviers and making him a winger in GR lol Umm... so you would have traded Ericsson at one of the following points: 1) When he was coming up through GR and was considered one of the organization's best prospects. 2) After he did quite well in the '09 playoffs. 3) When/after he was in the midst of his first slump, something that lots of players go through but from which many rebound. That doesn't make sense. Edited September 21, 2010 by Crymson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine!

NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 One thing that was quite funny to see was how Kindl out-deked Datsyuk nicely, but then lost the puck to Homer. Who impressed more? Ritola or Miller? Miller had a shot off the post, they both made some nice passes (like when Abby failed to finish) and Ritola seemed to be carrying the puck quite a bit (but perhaps not using his teammates enough). It will be interesting to watch how this develops - especially considering they're both on the same line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Heaten Report post Posted September 21, 2010 Who else is a little sick to the stomach seeing Ericsson and his play. Calm down, it's not even pre-season yet. This is the time for players to shake the rust off, not compete for a spot on the Olympics. I saw a few bone head plays by several players... it's freakin TRAINING CAMP for crying out loud!

It will be interesting to watch how this develops - especially considering they're both on the same line! Miller has the slight edge right now, but Ritola has a better future to becoming a solid and impact player. If Wings lose Ritola, I'll be pissed! 1 Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 I didn't get to watch the game, but I also agree Big Rig played like s*** pretty much all of last year. Keep in mind however that Fisher played horrible his 1st 2 years here also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted September 22, 2010 Can I just say that Jan the Man Mursak is awesome!! Can't wait to see him in GR this season, if he's on a line with Tatar they could both explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
