#2242131 Open Season on Ducks

Franzen was OK until he took an arrow to the knee (sorry, couldn't resist ;) )

Again... why on earth would Holland want to acquire yet another playmaking center? And, more, why would he trade one of the team's best goal-scorers for such? This would lead to a net decrease in goal scoring.


Wow, I wasn't aware that the NHL was such a simple, logical place.  The great goal-scorer Franzen has broken 30 goals just once, is past 30, picking up injuries, and signed to a monster contract that rewards him with $$$$$$$$$$$ whatever he does (which is often as little as possible).

Getzlaf is an all-star, Franzen isn't.  Datsyuk-Getzlaf gives us a 1-2 punch that would give the rest of the WC kittens.  Anytime you can aqcuire a top, high-end player for non-star players, you should.  Players of the quality of Getzlaf (or Perry, or Ryan) don't come on the market very often.



I disagree with your examples, as none of them are d-bag weasels of Corey Perry magnitude

  

I can only assume you weren't watching Hockey when Chelios was a Blackhawk and Samuelsson was a Penguin?

Just once this season, can we lose 3-2 in overtime instead of regulation, y'know, just like the rest of the league does on a nightly basis?  Only 1 loserpoint all season is the difference in the standings right now.

It starts with Jimmy and ends in Howard.

Probably.


#2237016 Mike Babcock praises Red Wings' physical game

Posted by Nev on 18 December 2011 - 09:36 AM

Hey, its nice and all that we have smaller guys with a bit of skill who are working hard and playing "physical", the problem comes when we play the likes of San Jose whose 2, 3rd and 4th liners are just as skilled, just as quick, and just as hard working, but 3-4 inches taller and 10-20lbs heavier.  

I do worry that our bottom six especially, no matter how hard working, speedy and skilled is just a little bit undersized for the playoffs.  Having said that, our defencemen seem the most physical around the net that I've seen for years.

It is amusing however that for certain people in this thread, being "physical" simply means fighting.

The recap on NHL.com manages to tell us 4 seperate times that Crosby wasn't playing last night.

In other news, Wings keep rolling on.

I'm with Konnan, whats the big deal?    Yeah, its a little bit trollish, but leaving the bench and sucker-punches?  Talk about an over-reaction.

Yep, they're also the face of the franchise in an English speaking, media hungry market.  But you're right, in terms of work rate, work ethic, skill level, production, leadership etc he has everything you want in a captain.

Feels wrong seeing another player wearing #18, not sure if I'll ever get used to it.

Compare Datsyuk's puny chicken legs to Lidstroms tree-trunks
