He's always been a divisive player for good reason. His game is fundamentally flawed.

I've always been the fan that overreacts to seeing flashes of superstardom in players. At one point AA was damn near automatic on the breakaway. Him vs the goalie, it seemed like 3 out of 4 he was scoring goals. There were games where he was just brilliant, and I got too excited for his potential as a result.

@puckloo39 crowd is chanting for you!!!! loooooooo looooo

[puckloo39 5,686]

Bright spots include Baby Bert, Hronek and Bernier... Larkin is struggling but I think the team 'effort' is wearing on him

Those breakaways just wernt sustainable.

would have also included Fabbri, Glendenning, Biega

[MabusIncarnate 5,359]

Maybe Erne will finally get something going now, Yzerman clearly saw something in him because he brought him in from Tampa pretty quickly. I'd like to think there's more to him then we've seen so far, maybe tonight is a step forward and that line can start contributing a bit.

I would too... Fabbri has been the best thing that has happened to the Wings this season.  And I have always been a Glenny fan.  Biega, I have not seen enough to get overly excited....

 

I might have to do something unpleasant to Bowey... good grief, kid. 

 

Bernier (once again) for first star tonight.

[MabusIncarnate 5,359]

Bowey with a brutal turnover.. he does that so much I don't get why he's still here.

from what i've seen the past games, he as been physical, not made many mistakes.... Starts to look like a stay at home D-man

I easily see why Biega was a fan fav in Van. Fearless and works his butt off every shift, even if he doesn't have a ton to give, I love that.

I question his presence as well... I know Seider is too young, but he needs to hurry up.

[MabusIncarnate 5,359]

This is so frustrating. Just shoot the puck. Shoot it. Force passing to be pretty isn't working at all. SHOOT. 

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Id dont blame Bert for not shooting that, Mantha woulda had a wide open net. Jackets goallie was ready for bert

me, too.. my kind of player.  Cleary was similar when he got his chance with the Wings... heart and soul, even if not the fastest or flashiest player

[Yzerman19 334]

Biega is to me like a Darren Mc Carty but in defense. Not the best at his position, but giving it all for the team every shift.

That was an amusing typo tbh

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Still hard for me to see Goose in a jackets jersey. Just not his color.

these comparisons to players I loved so much makes me a little sad.  But I am hopeful for the future....

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Larkin passing right into the skates of bert like wtf dood

[TLGTrico 661]

Bert doesn't seem to know how to control the puck anymore.

I hated seeing Val in Flyers ugly colors.  At least when he was a Bolt, the blue in the jersey matched his eyes.

Fil is lowkey hot. He's got like olive skin + blue eyes + blond hair. Weird in a good way

[MabusIncarnate 5,359]

I'm in the mood for OT, it really seems like it's been a long time since we've seen the Wings in OT.

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Ephasis on good skin too. Guys has no blemishes
