GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Last few games he has been caught standing around. He needs to start skating He can't handle playing a full season, apparently. Last season he disappeared in the playoffs with the rest of the team. He's run out of gas again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 324 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 This team is good at 2 things: speed and forcheck. Opponents are doing a good job of taking away those two strengths. Detroit has nothing else to fall back on to compensate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Is it really that absurd to consider putting Jurco with Sheahan and Tatar? Have Helm center the third line with Pulk and Gus and then put all three bums on the fourth line? This team can't score a goal and Babs is still using the same garbage lines.

Detroit has nothing else to fall back on to compensate. You think we're good at forechecking? We're a small, soft team of vanilla Euros. Hardly a lineup suited for forechecking . More like foreskin.

Whatever line you put Andersson and Jurco on will turn to trash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canadian wings fan 305 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Also what a s*** line combo. I saw Pulks-Andersson-Cole out there together. Wtf is that supposed to do for us?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's where they found success most of the season. It's not the same as the Kings forcheck, it's mostly a speed/hustle forcheck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Whatever line you put Andersson and Jurco on will turn to trash. Jurco still drives possession, but what does that matter with Glendening and Miller? He needs to play with skill or just go to Grand Rapids. Andersson is truly terrible, but so are Glendening and Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You dump it in, and if the other teams' guy gets to it first, you back off instead of pressing him. I don't consider that forecheking. We're very easy to play against. As we saw in the playoffs last year, speed is nothing if your team is weak physically and not willing to compete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonzarelli 73 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 I don't understand all the high sticking penalties. Quincey's penalty was moronic and unnecessary. Glendening's too. The line combinations are baffling. Anderson in over Weiss. Major hate from Babcock. If the Wings get eliminated from the playoffs, and right now it is dicey, Babcock needs to sign with Toronto. Big change is coming. Nyquist and Tatr need some time off - they're both fried. 1 Y19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
