Guest The Production Line Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Even though the team is playing like crap, Conks isn't doing himself any favors. If this was Ozzie in net, this GDT would be 30 pages long already. I guess you really can't be too hard on a guy who belongs in GR., but he's stinking it up tonight.

puckbags 863 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 The biggest issue I have besides the obvious lack of effort is the changing of a dominant winning lineup from the other night. Franzen is back but bury him down the lineup a bit and let Gus play on the 1st line where he was the other night. Leave Kindl in and let Ericsson watch from the press box for a few games until Kindl f***s up. 1 Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Sign me up for a cold, coming back from injury Jimmy Howard in goal Friday over Conklin. I get Babcock's philosophy, but home ice may be at stake and this team clearly needs it. Let Jimmy play if he says he is healthy enough. Conklin's numbers speak for themselves. 1 heikks86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Its not the playoffs yet, he is waiting for playoffs to contribute. He is bored. Mule is dead to me; empty sweater. No player is ever dead to me but he is hurting my feelings quite a bit. WAKE THE HELL UP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Conklin belongs on a ******* beer league. Nice work adressing a major issue Holland He kind of did. Are you forgetting that BOTH of the Wings other goalies are injured at the moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey Convert 55 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Now Dorsett runs Conks, then he runs Datsyuk with a high hit from the blindside, and no one does anything. Gross It kills me that it's open season on the Wings players all around; but too many fans, as well as Holland, are OK with it. So that's just the way it is.

jroc86 90 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 Disgusting game. Wings are getting banged, pushed, hit, and pursued ... basically being attacked by AHL team that isnt giving them any respect, and theyve wilted thusfar. This game is showing just how much we could use a bottom 6 guy that could go out and beat the s*** out of a rat like Dorsett or Stoll. What a joke. I cant turn this game off though - its like driving by a car wreck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that's just the way it is. If Holland starts stacking the team with goons, you'd just complain more about how terrible they are and how player x, y, and z should start over them.

Do you think the pens are flipping out cuz they lost AT HOME last night to the Islanders with Fleury in net?
