gdt 10/15 GDT : Bruins 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

[kipwinger 8,527]

I doubt some of the suits even know what an enforcer is. They are too busy looking at their tablets, smartphones Good god why did that stupid league stop Iginla and Phaneuf from fighting? This isn't a pussysoft diver showboaters game like soccerf****** nhl

Lol. And why Lord, why, did the NHL force Calgary to trade Phaneuf for little return while forcing them to trade Iginla too late to make any difference? And shine your light, oh heavenly father, on why the NHL made Jay Feaster pay Jay Bouwmeester 6.8 million dollars when he was only worth 5.2 million? Pray tell thee Lord of hosts, didn't the leagueth knowest that two Jays don't makest a right? Finally oh merciful and most righteously of fatherly fathers, tell me why the league made Jiri Hudler maddeningly slow, yet also maddeningly good at producing secondary scoring? Surely thust doest not jest oh knowingest of knowers. Youest makest a mockeryist of truest hockey fan throughout the league's control of team level decisions.

I agree. Our 4th line is easy to play against. They don't wear other teams down, especially in a playoff series. It's just a combination of different jobbers with no identity to it.

Killing penalties is important, but it's not like we lead the league each year in that category and go deep in the playoffs as a result. We have plenty of forwards who can kill penalties.

Yes. Screw Drew Miller’s ability to contribute to keeping the other team’s PP 0 for 9. Especially considering each game has been decided by one goal.

[wings87 1,290]

When your team is 9 for 9 on the PK to start the season and Miller’s your best, what the hell’s the problem?

But to answer your question: 4 forwards. That’s how many. Two groups of two.

The PK has been good, but Drew isn't the only reason. Z, Glendening, Abby, Miller, Pav (when he returns), Sheahan, Helm, Andersson, all these guys can kill penalties. Like I mentioned earlier I like Drew, but there is a lot of PK redundancy on the roster- we could use some more diversity. Be it Miller, Andersson, or Glendening- one needs to be replaced for a scorer.

[ShanahanMan 473]

These guys can't complete a pass

[Guest Praying Mantha]

Im now done talking to you about stuff.

Sorry. I don't follow the Kings all that closely. Those were the names I remembered last off the top of my head as their bangers. Point still stands.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Nyquist back on the third line. The Wings have five goals in two games and a period, but we definitely need Abby on the top line.

Exactly.

See, I get the point I really do. But Miller’s one our best. Plus, I don’t know about you but I don’t wan either Zetterberg or Datsyuk killing penalties.

You mean all of two games?

[Guest Praying Mantha]

See, I get the point I really do. But Millers one our best. Plus, I dont know about you but I dont wan either Zetterberg or Datsyuk killing penalties.

I disagree. I want them killing penalties. Not wanting Selke candidates and winners to play defense? Come on, dude. Use your head. Z and D are the best players on D too. Not just O.

[ShanahanMan 473]

How long are we gonna have the Q/K pairing?

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Good try Glenny!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Glenfiddich is the new Draper on breakaways.

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Glendening makes Helm look like Stamkos.

[Guest Praying Mantha]

Use the force, Luke. Anyone named Luke can use it.

[gcom007 1,465]

Glenfiddich is the new Draper on breakaways.

So much heart...

Hands of stone...

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Glenfiddich is the new Draper on breakaways.

Only if he can hit the empty netters.

[ash11 78]

Yes. He’s one of the Wings that has actually done an excellent job doing exactly what he’s supposed to do so far this season.

I disagree. Use your head. Look at how often Pav and Hank have gotten injured lately. We don't want to risk them getting injured when we have loads of other guys who can kill penalties and our pk is looking pretty good right now.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Hey but he has more goals than Zetterberg and Datsyuk

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Huge save by Howard!

It's in their contract that they have to play with each other for life, it's in there along with their NTC's.
