wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 I am liking some of Babcock's line changes, but not all of them. To begin, I am LOVING bert on that top line! He looks great out there with the big boys. I am still not liking the 2nd line at all... literally every shift that line was on the ice, we were hemmed in our zone. The reason? IMO it is Franzen and his lazy play. I counted at least 4 times where the puck came to franzen and he literally just stayed put with the puck until the Pilly player came to take it from him... I am tired of Babs playing Franzen over guys that deserve it. I would like to see Alfie on the 2nd line and Franzen on the 3rd line. 1 LidsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datterberg1340 626 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 The cut of the new Reebok jerseys and the size of the winged wheel crest is why if I recall correctly. Not enough room for the C in the old spot. I'm liking Ozzie in the studio. Can we ditch Daren Eliot and bring back Murph (but not the Gede Watanabe in Gung Ho glasses)? oh yeah that's right, bad design decision on their part if you ask me definitely bring back Murph!!

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 The Reebok jerseys suck in general. Too many teams have added stupid horizontal stripes to their jerseys, and the Wings had to switch the "c" to the wrong side. Also, the Dallas Stars are unable to go back to their original jerseys, so they keep failing miserably to design new ones. 2 datterberg1340 and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to punish Alfie over Fraznen is silly cuz at least Alfie has been trying, and has looked rly good tonight. Franzen on the other hand.... 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A player who gives a s*** would NEVER be in a smiling mood right after losing a game 7. Been wanting to see his ass bought out ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it time, after leading the team in game winning goals, I think the Mule will be a little easier to stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Give it time, after leading the team in game winning goals, I think the Mule will be a little easier to stomach. Bet he doesn't come close to leading the team in game winning goals if you factor out go ahead goals and just leave goals he scored to pad an already existing lead because of zero pressure on the team and then have them sit back to allow their opponents to get back into the game, causing his goal to just happen to end up being the winner.. ^i apologize if that happens to make zero sense. I'm half in the bag. Edited October 13, 2013 by marcaractac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 The bigger question is, is Mule having fun yet? Or, if he's playing like ass, why not call him Ass? I think if he was on the third line he could tear it up against lesser d-men. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
