Guest Shoreline Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Unless the Wings hand Chicago some ass, it does indeed look like a "-" season. Sucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Pretty disappointing really. Lets hope he can go +2 both games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Still gets the Norris. No worries and he will most likely sit 1 of these games I would guess. So hopefully tomorrow is a rout with a +5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 his plus streak is ending. I wonder if Babs even dresses him against Chicago Sunday night... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) his plus streak is ending. I wonder if Babs even dresses him against Chicago Sunday night... My bet is that that will be decided in San Jose Saturday night. If The Sharks win, we sit a few out Sunday AFTERNOON. If Sharks lose, we try to win. It seems as if they really want that 2nd seed. That, and they would like to play a good game going into the playoffs. Edited April 9, 2011 by BigWillieStyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Where do you get that idea? Especially after last night's game. Babcock has stated several times, that they want to finish as high as possible in the standings. That home ice advantage is important. That his players mailed it in tonight, means nothing of the wishes of management. If they didn't want to win, they would have rested Datsyuk instead of Draper.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Still gets the Norris. No worries and he will most likely sit 1 of these games I would guess. So hopefully tomorrow is a rout with a +5 I'd love it if he did, but I'm doubting it now. It shouldn't matter, but him finishing with a minus will hurt him. And the Wings are not a good team defensively overall. And they've sort of sputtered at the end of the regular season here. I'd bet it's Chara again. A physical defenseman on an eastern team getting lots of attention. Who knows though, maybe that hit hurt his chances a bit. They could give it to Nick as a lifetime achievement award, and to make up for the time(s) he should've won it earlier in his career, but didn't get the attention as a European player who doesn't hit hard and doesn't have a booming slapshot.

Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Has there ever been a Norris winner with a minus season? During a game a week ago I think FSN talked about it and I think there were only 2 others, can't remember their names though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Has there ever been a Norris winner with a minus season? Blake won it in 1998 with a -3. That's a year Nick should've won it, and not because of Blake's plus-minus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingfan1991 221 Report post Posted April 10, 2011 Pretty sure they said Randy Caryle won it too as a minus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
