#2370921 Kostitsyn Gives Up - Goes for Line Change

I bet Trotz has had it up to his neck with Kostitsyn... Well, if he actually had a neck that is.

What's so crazy about that? He was an important part of our PK. He sat in the box so the defensively-skilled guys could play.

How fitting that Staples' slogan is "that was easy".

What if they were to offer the C to Zach Parise if he becomes a wing? Think that would offend anyone?

Offend is the wrong word. "Infuriate" might be better. No slight on Parise's talent intended, but in order to get the "C" in this town, you have to do more for the Wings than just show up.

We do NOT already have a good team, otherwise we wouldn't have had our asses handed to us in the first round. Datsyuk and Zetterberg have nothing to do with the absence Lidstrom will leave on the blueline and Kronwall, while a solid player, is no where near Lidstrom level and, in my opinion, never will be.

We are NOT that deep, as most farm boys who we've been giving shots to have really been disappointing thus far. Kindl, Emmerton, Mursak to name a few. You think these guys are the future? Sure, there's potential in Nyquist and Smith but it's way too early to tell and I see 3rd line at best. I mean, Babcock himself commented on his brilliantly after we got eliminated, basically saying we were putting 3rd and 4th line guys on our 1st and 2nd. I mean, Abdelkader a 2nd line center? Give me a break.

We may seem like we have a lot of money, but considering the scarcity of the FA market this summer, expect the star players to command big big bucks. And we know how Holland feels about "spending". Well, other than bloated 10 year+ contracts that is.

You know what we could have asked for? Our GM to give our star player and captain a better team to support him his final season. Otherwise, maybe he wouldn't "lack the motivation and drive to continue" (his words not mine).

Seriously though, how does the sand taste?

And if the head gets too foamy and they have to let it rest, you can enjoy a white Russian in its place.

Phoenix has already gotten as many pucks past Rinne as the Wings did and its all because they work there butts off every shift.

We all know who we want. It's a matter if Kenny does something. Whof****** knows. He probably resigns both Homer and Hudler and says our team is "GOOD ENOUGH" to win.

p.s. I hopef****** not.
