puckbags 863 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I just hope Jurco scores again. Kid looks NHL ready to me. I'm pretty sure anyone with hockey skates and blood running through their veins is NHL ready for the Wings right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I wonder if our training staff is part of the problem. Some of the injuries are obviously not related to them but with the trend of the last few years I'm starting to wonder if they need to be looked at. I just don't understand it. Not eating their Wheaties or drinking enough milk??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukToZetterberg 128 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 im directing that toward the ppl who baiscly wanted howies head on a platter for his mediocre play so far this year truth is the guy has been great for us ever since he took over the roll and 1 bad stretch and they wanted him out and gus in which is ludicrous and the only reason we are even in the top right now is because we have loses in ot and the so not really anything to be proud of id rather reflect on the winsPeople wanted him to replace Howard until his head is right and he stopped s***ting the bed like a four-year-old. They never wanted Gus as the long-term starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaWingsFan 464 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I'll just drink a few more beers and reminisce about beating the Ducks in the playoffs last year and Howard keeping Perry from scoring all year...I think I'm going to cry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatsyukToZetterberg 128 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 He shouldn't have been sitting by all these years letting Holland bring back washed up, old players, while not making significant trades or free agent acquisitions. Have you seen or heard the guy lately? At the risk of sounding insensitive and downright cruel, I'm not sure he's aware of much of anything anymore, much less the struggles of his hockey team.

sjr2012 439 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 People wanted him to replace Howard until his head is right and he stopped s***ting the bed like a four-year-old. They never wanted Gus as the long-term starter. well now that i agree on sitting him and making him try to earn back that spot is one thing but yea long term for gus no way because his just not the guy who could carry this team anywhere not even if we were stacked like the Blackhawks Truth is i agree with most who say we need a trade to maybe cause some shakeup in the team and try to gain some momentum however who could we move? not a single person right now would get a bite plus we sent tootoo and eaves thru waviers and no one took them so obioviously it would cost us someone big Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mackel 679 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I just don't understand it. Not eating their Wheaties or drinking enough milk??? Jokes aside it seems like we have an issue with injuries. Training and preventative maintenance with injuries is as likely a place for improvement my as adding a goon to the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings! 179 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 Well as much as I hate illegal hits in the Nhl, it couldn't have happened to a bigger ******(Getzlaf). This is bad hockey. At least if you aren't gonna score,play defense or goaltend...hustle maybe? I want to play NHL 14 and pick any team against the Red Wings so I can throw a mean hit on Cleary and fight Quincey then save and exit. Thankfully it's a long season so we can hopefully turn this around. Ironic that we move to the easier conference,have an alumni game with all our favorite past players in it and a winter classic yet we are playing this bad.

RedWang 422 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I will say this, and its not just cuz i like him, but Tatar has been really working his ass off tonight. He has made plays, forechecked and taken shots when seemingly no one else would. I really like his cotinuous work ethic even in the face of sure defeat. Kids a gamer.

Kids a gamer. idk what line hes playing on cause im not watching the game but he should get a chance with datsyuk. hes done enough time on the third line or 2nd line whatever hes playing on also think kindl shouldnt be on the PP anymore, sure he had some success last year, not this year. Play big rid hes got a cannon. much more reliable defensively too Edited December 18, 2013 by brett 1 RedWang reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
