vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 It does seem that the players all get together before the game and decide to have a bad night. Rarely is it only one or two players having an off game - the whole team struggles en masse. At least when we s*** the bed, it's collective Great minds! 2 puckloo39 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 No. What’s fun is watching you and Leftwinger dutch rudder one another over how much this team sucks. Some middle ground would be nice. You know, actual level-headed hockey discussion instead of this doom-porn. Jesus christ. Jerkwater, USA. More like Knee-jerkwater USA wha? Well, that's why we have intelligent, knowledgeable posters like yourself to keep us calm and inform us how it really is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 So you think these boards are more fun when nobody posts and everybody who does talks about how great we are?For the record, I think these boards are more fun when there's as many different opinions as possible, without everyone of them that's not positive seeming to revel in the fact that were having a bad night.I also think its more fun when the people who's opinions differ don't go out of their way to disparage eachother, and the team that were supposed to all be fans of. If You think were worse than we are, or were playing above our heads thats fine, But be consistent with it. Talk about how you think we could improve it, or even what you think is wrong during the times of success instead of only coming around when were losing and gloating in the fact that you called us being a bad team the last time we got beat emphatically. And that's not necessarily directed at you, the same way my first comment wasn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Nothing like a bad game by the Wings to set the wolves on each other. Please stop. Discuss the game, not the fandom of fellow members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in any case, I've already suggested how we need to improve. Fix the defense and get another scoring winger to play with Datsyuk. Holland has to decide whether he wants to sacrifice some prospects to do that, or whether he wants to sacrifice yet another playoff for the future.

GoWings! 179 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Wings decide to take yet another night off on NBC against a tough team. I don think we've outplayed the Penguins in a single game since Game 5 in the 09 Cup. We got a tough stretch ahead of us this month. Good luck boys. You'll have to bring an A game most of those nights unlike tonight. 1 Y19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Well then, it's decided. Let's make the site more exciting! The Red Wings are decent, and aren't even in the same league as TBL, Pens, Habs, etc etc...after 1 game. Howard sucks. Babcock needs to go. Holland needs to go. Blow. It. Up. One game? The Red Wings completely choke against teams they should at least be putting up a decent fight against every single time. Beating Arizona and Colorado is super cool and all but it's not going to win us anything worth winning. Edited February 12, 2015 by Z and D for the C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, actual level-headed hockey discussion instead of this doom-porn. Jesus christ. Jerkwater, USA. More like Knee-jerkwater USA wha? so, at what point did I say this team sucks. I simply said they aren't up there with Pit and Holland should really think what he wants to do March 2. He either gets good enough this year to beat teams like Pit and Tampa, or make the playoffs and see what happens and get better next year by getting more experience.

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Zetterberg tripped, Helm stick held, no calls. I thought the NHL onus was to give automatic PP's to teams that were trailing by two in the third. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
