How do you think the Wings will do without Dats?

If we are going to sit here and throw the season away because the loss of one player, then we had no chance to begin with.

Well I don't think anyone's feeling that way.

If we're "throwing away" anything then it's Pav's chances for another Selke or perhaps even a Hart nomination.

I'm glad you brought that up. I got into a bit of a debate on that with my housemate. I say he's lost any chance he might have had, she says not so fast. I'm curious what you guys think of that idea.

Well, right now, it's not so much that Pav has lost his chances for a Selke but rather that Ryan Kesler has simply played better and deserves it more. Again though, that's for right now.

But you don't think that missing 16 games will cut him right out of the running?

[#19=Legend 29]

No. Not if he comes back and plays hockey like he can, hes not out of the running for it.. would they take into consideration the time a player is out with an injury with the selke voting?

[Kira 451]

Consider the people who will be voting on it. Anything that would make them give it to someone else, they will do it. As much as I think he'll come back with a vengeance, I have my doubts that they will consider him at all. The voters are like that.

[#19=Legend 29]

if the wings truley struggle without him.. then he comes back and the team is alive again... then he wins it hands down. thats just a senario that i wouldnt really like to happen. but i think he will still be considered no matter what.

[Kira 451]

I'd love to be wrong about this, but I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'm not.
