GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 It is. We need someone out there who can at least fight back with Hartnell, Rinaldo, and the rest of them. We do. Read my post above. Rinaldo and Hartnell aren't that tough, and I don't think Shelley is even dressed tonight. Janik, Abby and Smith have to answer the bell. There all we have, can't believe I'm saying it but I miss Ericsson. He could handle any of the guys on the Flyers. Quincey can fight too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff6851 168 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Worst case scenario is happening. Wings cool off at home, still suck on the road. PP and PK don't get any better. Everyone gets hurt. Blues get even hotter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,458 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Because they have no toughness. After that kind of hit teams should be SCARED to touch the puck. What happened? Philly played the goon game, we didn't capitalize and now the Wings are scared to touch the puck. The only goal the Flyers scored after the Kronwall hit was shorthanded. So unless you think we should put tough guys out on the ice during a powerplay, I'd say toughness isn't the reason why we got scored on. On a side note, our powerplay can't get any worse so maybe we should just goon it up on the PP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey Convert 55 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 HockeyConvert, there is no need for your uneducated, idiotic posts, but they happen, just like vicious hits in hockey... If you don't like it, watch figure skating... Go watch full metal jousting, you'll love it. Wish you could decline penalties in the NHL like they can in the NFL.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 And once again, we have a tougher lineup out there tonight than Philly. Do Holland and Babcock neuter these guys before the game? We can handle this ******* team physically. They're not the '82 Flyers. It seems like it. Especially Janik, like he can fight, and he needs to show the brass he has something. Smith fought last game so Babs probably told him to stop. And Abby, I'm sure he could put up a fight vs Rinaldo or Hartnell. It's what alot of fans don't understand that you and I do, it's not about winning the fight, it's about showing your not afraid. The Wings are showing there afraid.

sputman 1,268 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Good thing they'll have them in the playoffs... I don't get the point of your argument i guess the point of my question was, even though our best players are currently hurt, this TEAM doesn't seem like one that is tough enough to go deep in the playoffs. you know, the long haul. when s*** happens and you have to dig down deep and find a way to win.

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 So if a guy has his head down you can't hit him? The only reason his head got hit was because he was staring down at the ice. I totally agree. Dumbass had his head down, more than likely knowing Kronwall was there. I don't like it or agree with it, but those are the new rules. I wish part of the new rules was the ability to decline a PP. 9 shorthanded goals given up this season? Second in the league. Pitiful. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish you could decline penalties in the NHL like they can in the NFL. full metal jousting is freakin stupid. It isn't the violence of the hit that people love, it is the fact that a human being can impose their will on another with sheer force that wows people. And since you have never played the game you don't have a clue about what was going on in this play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point was, if we can't capatilize on the PP's that come off teams running us and gooning it up, then we need a guy that can answer. We don't have one, and our PP sucks. Just not alot of good stuff happening the last couple games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
