T.Low

 

But but but he was supposed to have taken Jimmys job!!!!

 

That stickwork looks exactly like a younger Jimmy, so why not? Jimmy's stickwork still blows...lol

I remember someone saying that if they're eliminated from the playoffs, that means Tatar can somehow return to the NHL.  Not sure if that's correct.

 

I wish them luck, but at the same time, would rather have Tatar back than wish them luck.

 

He'd make us even better.  

 

Fixed.  

 

I don't think it matters, didn't Lashoff go back and forth to GR during the playoffs already? I think it's more about keeping Tatar in a spot where he can lead the entire team through the AHL playoffs. Its not just about him, he's allowing the entire team to have a deep playoff run, furthering development. 

He's always been a good player. People just irrationally translated his injury history as meaning he is a bad player.
 

 

This. 

I thought that was Abby?

i cant get over how excited I am that we are showing the blackhawks we aren't going to sit around

I'm a big toughness and fighting guy. But absolutely not, you don't win the Cup by fighting guys like Bickell and Shaw. You win the Cup laughing at those 2 dummies continue to screw their team by taking dumb penalties. Keep composed, and this series will be over quick.

I just... I just.... *head explodes*

 

Holmstrom was my favorite player... it's a crime what they did to him.

 
you don't think throwing him with datsyuk or Z once in a while would be good?

To be quite honest, I don't right now at all.

That third line has clicked so well together. Breaking them up just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Again, I think Brunner would get exposed defensively playing in the top-six against Chicago.

Not Franzen's fault.

 

Not Holland's fault.

 

The fault lies with Jiri Hudler and Mikael Sameulsson. If Kenny had known that those two useless sacks of s*** weren't coming back, he could have contributed the funds he was planning to use on them to use on Hossa.  

 

They won't call any of their minor league goons up for this series.  Not unless there's lots of injuries.  

 

Tootoo and Bertuzzi are healthy scratches, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Also, didn't Quincey used to fight once upon a time.  Guy doesn't do anything physical anymore.  

Don't agree about Quincey.  I've seen him in more than one game pounding on guys along the boards. 

That goal by gus was sick!  can't get over it.

People saying the Hawks goal should count: don't kid yourselves.  How short are your memories anyways?  Holmstrom has only been retired for a year.   Rewind to the 2009 series and if that were the other way around and it was Homer in the crease, Hawks fans would cry bloody murder if that goal had stood and when it was disallowed, we as Wings fans would have said "ah, that sucks, but we're used to that call. Time to forget about it and move on."  Which is what the Wings normally did.  If anything, waving that call off shows refreshing consistency in one area playoff reffing over the past 20 years.  God knows there are a lot of other areas that have been called nowhere near as consistently.   Qwhineville whining about that call is laughable - I remeber his watching red a$$ed monkey face dozens of times when Homer was in the crease.

Anybody think Parise and Suter are sitting somewhere kicking themselves right now?

 

Meh...  This isn't my reaction towards you for bringing it up but when anybody brings up Parise and Suter at any time, seriously, I just think to myself... Who the hell cares? 

Idk Cleary plays an important role in the top 6 he would need to be replaced with Helm if we let him walk. Can't deny he has been huge these playoffs maybe not on the scoresheet but in the same way Abdelkader is vital to our success

I know, right? I'm very nervous about this crazy run losing steam, but they keep gut checking.and persevering.

Game 4 is huge. Chicago is going to come out flying. Wings need to keep mistakes to a minimum and never give up. I would be very nervous letting Chicago tie the series. I don't want them to regain their confidence.

 

The team has already exceeded expectations.

 

you don't think throwing him with datsyuk or Z once in a while would be good?

 

Why break up three successful lines?

Brunner - 8 points in 10 games (4 goals, 4 assists) keeps getting less ice time every game, this game it was 9 minutes, Cleary gets 17 minutes... makes sense

You basically explained why Brunner has been successful. He's playing against other third liners, instead of top-six forwards where he went in a major slump before. Cleary is much more responsible defensively too. I don't want Brunner out there for significant minutes against Toews or Kane.
