MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 Most of the comments here are embarassing. I wish a lot of people would either play hockey at a somewhat high/competitive level, or shut up a bit. What has everyone here been crying for forever? "Let the kids play" "Get rid of Franzen" "Bench Cleary" Etc, etc. Guess what? All of those are happening and still no one is happy. Hockey has ups and downs, you are not going to win every game and sometimes you're going to get smoked. It's a curve, especially with teams like Detroit who have players who are still learning what it takes. You don't figure out the NHL in a couple games, in a stretch of games or sometimes even in a season. It takes time. They're learning. You think Pittsburgh is in a different class than Detroit(someone said this)? They have more talent, arguably, but they don't have leadership, heart, compete level and usually no work ethic. Have you watched all the games PIT has collapsed in? Have you taken a look at their record against their division? I get that this is an internet forum and the point is to discuss hockey and the game at hand, but it doesn't HAVE to be a hyperbole tabloid styled bitchfest. It could be real discussion with thought, not ripping your favorite team to shreds because they didn't "punch Cindy in the face!" I for one would be happier if they punched Crosby in the face once or twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amen.During our win streak these boards were DEAD, we started losing to Tampa and the board was as active as its been in a while. Tonight were getting dominated, and the site is abuzz with talks of how bad we are. Its depressing as hell. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Dynheart 42 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? 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.

Forwards have been careless but the defense is consistently getting skated into the ground with no pushback What bothers me the most is that Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and the rest of the leadership group don’t look like they give many s***z about this game. Who knows, maybe they don’t? And Tatar is invisible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
