jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Least he actually has the balls to stand toe to toe with Neil. Rest of the team isf****** pansies. Lots of franzinas out there. Yet everyone thought the wings were the 3rd best team in the league so who cares what you people think here. Why are you so angry?

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 He's also totally to blame for drafting all of the excellent prospects in the system, not to mention those who are now mainstays of the team. Jim Nill hates you. Just sayin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Bert wasn't scratched for cleary. He pretty much was. Weiss's return should have bumped Cleary off of the roster. Instead, we lost Bertuzzi, who, while not having an excellent season, is far more valuable than Cleary is. Jim Nill hates you. Just sayin'. Yep, because many people here give him all the credit for the right things the organization has done recently, and Holland all the blame for the bad. It makes no sense. 1 b.shanafan14 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Good on Smith for stepping up with someone out of his weight class. EDIT: (referring to fighting ability, not actual weight) Neil's in a whole different universe. So: much props. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Not that I think we're really sucking, but I kinda feel like this team could use a good old fashioned Bruce Boudreau "f***in'" rant. Those rants always did get the Caps deep into the playoffs. Wait... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once again, Holland gets the entirety of the blame for everything bad and none of the credit for anything good. This is a viewpoint divorced from reality. You totally bypassed harolds post about how Bert was scratched with a bad back... Apparently I did. In my defense, I'm on a terrible computer that can barely browse forums without hanging. Could you quote it for me/ Bertuzzi has an upper body injury, likely his back. That's why he was scratched. Ansar Khan @AnsarKhanMLive 2h Bertuzzi is day to day with upper body injury, believed to be his back. Alright, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes no sense. I was referring to the draft. You're taking issue with people giving Nill undue credit, but then you give Holland all the credit for our drafting, when Nill had a pretty big hand it. Again, just sayin'.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Nice to see Quincey laying the lumber on guys around the net. The Wings need more of that. I'm usually okay with a defenseman even taking the occasional crosschecking penalty around the net as long as they get their money's worth. 1 St. Michael (the Red Wing) reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 I hate Kindl he brings nothing but turnovers to this team He frustrates me because it's not a lack of offensive talent that's leading to bad turnovers. He obviously has the skills to make good outlet passes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
