Well as much as you people talk about Crosby it seems pretty evident...

Thank you Gordie, maybe people will actually listen to you...

I doubt it though, their jealousy is blinding them.

Jealous of what?  His clutch play in the Stanley Cup finals?  His sense of entitlement?  His great displays of sportsmanship?  Fact is, if Crosby wasn't Canadian, he'd get nary a mention as being the league's best player.

You've gotta love how the world's greatest player continuously gets owned by Z.

Always good to see when the whiners 10 pages back on this forum are the same guys who are now nuthuggin'.  Whichever way the wind blows......

ok fine they lack heart or just flat out suck, either way it's very disappointing and holland/babcock calling both there jobs in this season.

No doubt!!  Such a bad season after back to back cup appearances is unforgivable.

yeah the flames look like they have a tough one, but you have to account for the continued heartless play of the wings

Has anyone thought of the possibility that maybe this team just isn't that good this year?  It is what it is.  They haven't made up for the goals that they lost to free agency. Most if not all the prominent pieces from the past have shown a decline in production.  The young guys haven't developed as quickly as predicted.  Aww, you're right...........it has to be lack of heart.

Coming from a guy who can always fall back on his "pther team", I'll just consider the source/

*other

Apparently.

They have trouble focusing and playing hard all the time.  It's a by-product of laziness.  They show up one night and not the next.  What's so ubeleivable about that?

Laziness?  Really?   and by that logic, is it fair to say that some games Babcock is "mentally lazy"?  Wow, the gems you can learn on here.

Go for it!



If someone in this fanbase isn't pissed off that in a critical game where they were actually LEADING IN that they were outshot 15 tof****** 4 AT HOME, they have some serious issues.

Being pissed off is one thing, but as I said, calling Babcock an idiot or questioning Z's heart is a bit different.  Perhaps we'd be better off with Dave Lewis and Robert Lang.

A fan base can be mad after watching a poor 3rd period effort that lead to a loss.  You have no right to call out other fans for doing so.  Not everyone has the same definition of fan as you do.

Ahhhh...........now I get it...........you can "call Babcock and Idiot" or "question Z's heart or effort", but you're off limits, right?

They don't need me for emotional support, they aren't my wife. By purchasing their goods I have a right to ***** via an anonymous message board.

Sure.......just as every other pinhead who buys a red and white wife beater with a wheeled wing on the front has that right to.  I bet any of the players who happen to stumble onto this forum love reading this s*** too.  Makes 'em appreciate such a dedicated fan base.

One bad game? Did you miss the terrible goal he allowed in Colorado from a terribly weak angle which allowed the Avs RITE back in the game? Did you see Howard against Vancouver; that was one of the worst performances I have seen from a goalie at the NHL level...the Wings will not get far with Howard that is a fact because of hit terrible rebound control... Ozzy needs to play hands down

The team had enough offensive firepower last year to overcome Ozzie's poor regular season play.  That luxury doesn't exist this year.

I know there are several goalie threads on this board and I also know that this board is split between supporters of Ozzy and supporters of Howard. However, since the break has come back I feel NO confidence in Howard at all; everytime the other team shoots the puck I am worried about it going in. Howard was great this year for the wings but it is time Ozzy starts to play  because we are simply NOT going to get into the playoffs with Howard in net. He looked TERRIBLE in the game today even though the wings won (his rebounds were hurrendous, and he got WAY too out of position which allowed Hossa to shoot at a wide open net with 2 minutes remaining, and his little dive that got a goal called off was risky because he literally fell back himself and got out of position). Also how many times do the Wings get 2 and 3 goal leads and we think the game is away and the Wings can start to rest guys but NO Howard has to start letting in goals... he is not good enough and cannot continue to play if the Wings want success... Ozzy needs to play end of story...

This is a joke, right?

My opinion is that considering I have season tickets to the Red Wings, and have been following them since birth that they are my favorite team.

But also considering Pittsburgh has my favorite player, happen to be in the Eastern Conference and play great hockey makes them my second favorite team.

Being a "true" fan is a personal thing. I don't need to prove my "fandom" to anyone but myself.

So, would you say it would be possible for a person to be an Avs fan as well as a Wings fan...........or a Hawks fan as well as a Wings fan?

Yeah.

I've heard it said that a fan of two competing teams is a true fan of neither.  What's your opinion?

I don't see the elbow.

I see his elbow tucked in.

Do you post on "letsgopens" under the same name?

I hope hes out for the season,it might help our playoff chances.
