Desert Rat 78 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 I had to change the channel after Howard predictably didn't save that breakaway. I hate to be a fair weather fan but this has been a nerve racking stretch for me. I'll keep up with all your posts and hope we get a W today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 If the Wings play like the last few minutes of the second they will win this. It's hard to believe but we are trailing only by one goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 All goalie issues aside, I truely believe that this team needs upgrades at D. Ericsson, Smith and Kindl are guys we could trade and not miss. I truely believe Smith is what he is and will not get any better. Maybe Holland will revisit the whole Phaneuf thing. I still don't want to give up Larkin or Mantha....the prospects of Hyman wanting to be a UFA puts us in the mix for him, but still, if we could upgrade to Phanuef, re-sign Zitz, maybe just maybe this teams D can be better. I really believe they over acheived early on and now things just aren't so good. Q hasn't been as bad as I thought, but again, he is just part of the problem. The D needs to get better, the goalies a hell of a lot more consistant. 4 goals should win you games, most nights. Not that this game is over, but I do believe upgrades are needed. 3 roboturner, haroldsnepsts and captain2005 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Big E just needs to be demoted to the bottom pair or scratched this guy is useless, he doesn't create offense or shut people down, I think the Smith pair is good for offense but bad for defense why not scratch E and play Kronwall Quincey DK Zids Smith Marchenko 1 Wing-in-avs-town reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greek 323 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Wings can't lose because we have the best coach in hockey. It's obvious that he has meticulously prepared this team to play flawlessly.You do realize his dad died. If this is a result of his poor preperation, I'd say babs has a damn good excuse. 2 haroldsnepsts and roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethernum 276 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Actually Mick, the NHL doesn't have more concussions than any sport going on, because football. Erm... Nearly 2.4 million Americans play hockey, which, according to the Centers for Disease Control, has a higher rate of concussions than any other sport. The Virginia Tech study raises questions about the methods by which hockey helmets are tested and adds fuel to the debate over whether helmets can do much to prevent concussions, an injury that is difficult to diagnose and dependent on myriad factors ranging from individual tolerance to neck strength.

I'd be okay with trading any of those guys. Kindl certainly doesn't belong on the team, but any one of Ericsson, Smith and Quincey could be serviceable. They're just overextended on a thin blueline. If you get E off the top pairing he could be a solid stay at home guy and good penalty killer. Quincey has been surprisingly consistent. Smith continues to baffle though. Has a good skillset but I guess just doesn't have it between the ears to play at that level every night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings! 179 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I was just about to comment on this myself. If you think Mick is bad you've yet to hear Butch Goring. He said Mrazek seems to have his mask fall off at the most convenient times. Still doesn't realize there's no letter e in the name Kronwall and won't stop calling Helm, Datsyuk. I am forced to watch him cause center ice is blacked out where I live. Edited March 29, 2015 by GoWings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Erm... Interesting. I guess the key question is what constitutes "rate of concussions?" Because I find it extremely hard to believe that taken in total, hockey generates more concussions than football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and you're quite right, seeing them hoist the cup in 08 caused me endless nightmares to which I'm still recovering. Yeah. Fair enough.
