GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Helm at this rate. We won't have enough capspace for an acquisition. Holland made sure of that with the pointless signing of "he who shall not be named" 2 datterberg1340 and GoWings1905 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themcityblues 249 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Because our lines change every two minutes. According to Bab's philosophy line chemistry is for weak minded p*ssies who don't "want it enough". I hate when Babs does this. He changes lines for no reason, even if the current lines are producing like a wildfild. No rhyme or reason. You're probably right that his coaching is one reason why the Wings can't stay in a groove for more than 3-4 games at a time. Agh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We like our team....believe in the younger talent coming up through the system blah, blah, blah. All the young talent is log jammed in the system so we could keep Cleary, re-sign Miller and not bury Sammy in the minors instead of Nyquist. If Cleary didn't sign, we could have afforded to bury Sammy for even slight cap relief and have Tatar and Nyquist up to give this team some much needed energy especially with Helm out.

marcaractac 3,960 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not concerned what so ever. Getting Helm back is gonna work wonders for this team, and Gus will be in the lineup before the season ends. Come playoff time, the best players will be on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt. Angry 23 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Completely disagree with Mick and his talk about how its good the crowd hasn't boo'd like most crowds would at this point. Fact is, the Wings played crap this game and looked lackadaisical and apathetic for half the game. If any time, this is one of those times the fans should give them a little boo, if not for the play itself (which deserves it) at least it might light a little fire under their asses. Notice that Mickey said that late enough in the game that there wasn't any crowd left to boo. Most of the crowd at the Joe any more seems to be face-painted 8 year olds, who don't know what the score is anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainman56 4 Report post Posted October 24, 2013 Bertuzzi isn't bad, but he's too inconsistent and doesn't add to our team speed. He's big, but doesn't scare opponents anymore. He's also taking up a roster spot, and has been for years. This.Bertuzzi is done.Been wanting him gone for a couple years now.Simply too slow,especially come playoff time he,s taking up a roster spot on a team that could use some more speed.

The one thing he does seem to be doing is going to the net and creating space for Dats/Zetterberg...mainly by interfering with the other team. So his size is an asset, assuming he can get himself there. Much as I don't like to see Tootoo go, I expect they'll waive him and possibly Samuelsson too. I think that would give us room enough for Helm and he'd definitely add some speed to our bottom 6, along with Eaves. Just needs to stay healthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
