#2404294 Any pickins from the Canucks carcass?

Posted by Ally on 14 May 2013 - 01:43 AM

The idea of trading Datsyuk for any of those plugs is just absolute nonsense. Stop it, seriously.
Kassian or Edler...even Bieksa wouldn't be bad to have but the asking price for any of them would be absurd and I just don't want them bad enough that I'd want to give anyone good up for them.
Burrows bites, we don't have room for the Sedins and their declining production, and the thought of Kesler diving around the ice in a Wings jersey makes me feel physically ill.

#2400509 Things that Shanny missed.

Posted by Ally on 09 May 2013 - 12:21 AM

I started this thread after seeing the Borque elbow. I don't care about the Abdelkader suspension, it's over and done with. I also didn't mention that suspension in the original post. This isn't first grade childishness this is confusion about why certain hits that are such a blatant violation of the rules aren't being looked at.

#2398739 "You-Got-Kron-Walled!"

Posted by Ally on 07 May 2013 - 03:24 AM

A couple of my friends from Windsor were at this game. They always send me pics and vids since I can't be there.
This is the one they sent me of the Kronwalled chant.

#2397178 Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

Posted by Ally on 05 May 2013 - 11:29 PM

That wasn't a head hit. What don't you people understand about that? It was a terrible missed call, but how can you compare it to this hit?

The problem is that every hit needs to be looked at separately. I'm not comparing Abby's hit to any other hit. He got suspended and while I didn't think it was dirty, it's completely reasonable for the league to make the call that it was.
I mention the Weber hit because it is a perfect example of why people get upset about suspensions. The league cannot say that they are worried about head injuries or that they are going to suspend hits where the head was targeted if they are going to blatantly ignore cases like that one.

They got the call right. I don't think it was a malicious hit, but it was careless, and the league is really trying to remove contact to the head from the game. They let this one slide and that message goes out the window.

That message went out the window with the unpunished Weber headslam.

#2397003 Abdelkader suspended 2 games for hit on Lydman

Posted by Ally on 05 May 2013 - 06:57 PM

I knew this suspension was coming. I don't like the hit but I also don't think it was dirty. There's no way Shanahan could suspend Gryba for what was obviously a clean hit and then not suspend Abby for his questionable one. I'm upset to lose Abby but if he got nothing and we won the series it would be the only thing anybody remembered about it. I don't want to have to deal with people saying Shanahan gave this round of the playoffs to his ex team. I want to beat them without Abby and have them left reaching for excuses as to how the 7th seed Red Wings managed to kill their post season.

#2393409 Players who showboat after scoring

Posted by Ally on 01 May 2013 - 09:58 PM

I love the showboats. Why try to take excitement out of the game? They want more goals because they want more cellies.

Can't stand the word "cellies" just for the record.
It doesn't take excitement out of the game in my opinion. And there's a big difference between showing excitement and being kind of classless about it and I think a lot of players cross the line.
Also I think your statement is kind of ridiculous. They should want more goals because it helps their TEAM...not because they want to feel like a rock star.

I don't mind a small celebration, I don't expect every guy to skate away like he doesn't care.
I can handle when guys go a little bigger with their first goal, buzzer beaters, overtime goals, or highlight reel beautiful goals but I never like dropping to one knee and making a big production of it.

#2393184 WCQF Game 1 GDT : Red Wings 1, at Ducks 3. (Anaheim leads, 1-0)

Posted by Ally on 01 May 2013 - 03:47 AM

Several thoughts:
Settle down on Kindl. The kid is not "terrible". That said, our rookies looked terrified and confused so I hope their nerves subside a bit and they figure it out.
I'd like to see Bert in even if it's on a lower line...I have a good feeling about him in this series.
Hiller was way better than Hiller. Where did that come from?
God I hate Corey Perry sooo much.
Can't believe anybody is bagging on Ericsson after that since he was one of the players I was actually really pleased with during this game.
Lastly, I still think Detroit will take Anaheim in 6.
