Thanks refs.

 

Joke.




#2357503 Minnesota's Devin Setoguchi faces discplinary hearing for hit on Q

Posted by hooon on 19 February 2013 - 12:31 PM

This brings up memories of that officiating travesty playoff round against San Jose a few years ago. Remember when Setoguchi high sticked Franzen in the face, drew blood, and they gave the penalty to Franzen instead of Seto?

 

This guy is a POS, its a shame the rules in the NHL are so pointlessly written that when a player gets fined the "maximum amount" it equates to less than a slap on the wrist.




#2340480 TooToo - the lovable little Tasmanian Devil

I've loved the Tootoo signing since day one. 

 

Best of luck to him, I think he'll be great on our fourth line.




#2338626 Will anyone score 50 this year?

Posted by hooon on 08 January 2013 - 06:14 PM

Yeah 50 is insane. No one will get 40 either. Even 30 is a lot. I think maybe only 1 or 2 players get 30.




#2335063 New fan.. need advice

Posted by hooon on 01 December 2012 - 01:13 AM

A new fan during the lockout?

This pleases Gary Bettman.


#2333977 Filppula out 6-8 weeks with sprained MCL

Posted by hooon on 13 November 2012 - 06:13 PM

I don't like this news at all.

The Wings can't even stay healthy when there's no season.


#2323715 Our Current Defense / What Holland Can Do *merged

Posted by hooon on 03 August 2012 - 10:50 AM

I would hardly call Franzen "expendable".

He is tradeable, yes, but if the Wings lose him to improve the D, they have literally NO one to replace those goals. Streakiness aside, 25-30 goals is not easy to replace. Its not like the Wings signed an elite scorer this off season.

Unless a lot of scoring is coming back the other way in a trade, the Wings need Franzen this year.

Darren Helm would have Gretzky-like numbers if he ever hit the net. Just sayin.


#2321087 Holland losing his moxie? Is Detroit slipping as UFA destination?

Posted by hooon on 23 July 2012 - 12:10 AM

If Lidstrom hadn't retired no one would even be questioning him. So we lose one Dman to retirement and another to uncontrollable family circumstances. How does that in any way reflect upon his abilities as a GM?


#2319551 Semin

Posted by hooon on 17 July 2012 - 11:00 AM

  Oh dear Im being tracked Auntie D on the interwebs,  Ill be there!

Back on topic I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign in the khl either but I hope he comes here:)


It does seem like if Kenny hasn't signed him yet, it is getting less likely he will. Even with the unstable CBA situation, signing Semin still seems like a complete no brainer to me. Wings still have a mountain of cap space, even if the cap drops fairly significantly. With a one year deal, there's very very low risk involved, but I'm not an NHL gm and in Kenneth, I still trust.


I'm willing to accept that the defense will not be as good as it was last year, but only if the Wings improve in other areas.

I DO think that our goaltending situation is the best it has been in years, especially if Jimmy stays healthy.

And I'm in the minority that actually believes our forward group improved somewhat (Sammy>Hudler, Tootoo>Holmstrom), but so far not enough to negate the deficits on defense, which is why we need that an impact scorer like Semin (or Doan, or both ;)).


#2319298 The biggest difference in the Nashville series

Posted by hooon on 15 July 2012 - 01:21 PM

Goaltending is waay waaay down on the list of reasons why we the Wings lost that series.


#2317594 How bad are we if our roster is now finalized?

Posted by hooon on 10 July 2012 - 02:06 AM

Lol. You couldn't possibly be anymore of a joke if you tried. Can't wait to see the Wild miss the playoffs again.


#2313959 Suter Watch: Decision today, down to Wings/Wild

Posted by hooon on 03 July 2012 - 07:44 PM

Where's Luca Brasi when you need him?


With the fishes.


#2312484 Red Wings Sign Jordin Tootoo to 3-yr deal, $1.9M/yr

Posted by hooon on 02 July 2012 - 04:09 AM

I've always wanted a player like Tootoo, and received my share of negs for it.  I like this signing. He brings energy and speed and is by far the toughest guy we have now.

He has shown good offense instincts in the past, hopefully he can contribute a bit.


#2310703 Sidney Crosby signs 12-year, $104.4M Contract, $8.7M/yr

Posted by hooon on 28 June 2012 - 11:06 AM

So... Crosby just helped everyone out a little bit in terms of the Parise sweepstakes. Gonna be really hard to justify paying anyone over 9 million if that's what Crosby's making.
