VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 I try talking about this with my non-Red Wing and non-hockey fans and I don't think they quite get how absurd this all is. For God's sake fire the training staff. And the doctors. Somewhere internally staff was changed and that's the only thing that can explain this. Grand Rapids must be pissed. I imagine it's hard to keep winning when we keep taking their players. But hey, at least they managed to make playoffs, right? 3 WingsAlways, evilmrt and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because of a ridiculous amount of NHL time by our prospects last year, Grand Rapids won the Calder Cup, maybe this year they will repeat; once all these players are sent back down.

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I used to jokingly say that half of our team was injured. Now I can say it literally. This is getting laughable.

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, might be time to officially call this season lost. Let the Euro-Twins heal all summer and hopefully come back healthy in the fall. Such a shame that years of their careers have been lost or wasted by poor personnel decisions lately. Problem is the injury bug hasn't been just this season. There's hardly any guarantee it will go away, especially with guys that have struggled to stay on the ice like Helm and Weiss. This team could be very good soon between the kids' emergence and a healthy roster. Still need serious upgrades on defense, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 Bring up as many prospects as we can and give them as much experience as possible. That's the most beneficial thing we can do to prepare for the future. 1 Y19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
