huskins was doing good. not sure why he was even sat in the first place and why we have held on to Q for so long.

I don't think the game has changed that much to be honest, I'm pretty young though(1989) so I can't say I lived through the 80's, but when I go back and look I see the same stuff.

 

For example how many games would Messier get now for this hit?

 

Or good ole' Dino

 

There are a ton more, hockey is a very emotional and physical game. And terrible incidents will happen, and I really don't think they are more common, they are probably just more exposed.

I'm not sure i really understand how those hits compare to a player suckering a ref........maybe that's just me.

Win or lose as long as Pavelski gets his stupid face smashed I will be happy.

Man I really hope the Wings destroy them on the 3rd. I want to hear Mr Ed the jackass cry.

Do we really care if someone runs stupid pavelski and his stupid face into the boards and breaks his stupid face up? hahahaha

Yes i can, but i paid already for gamecenter live.

It takes about 10 mins to talk to someone and have them get your IP and fix it all for you. I had the same thing going on. I had every wings game blocked and im in Texas until I talked to them and they fixed it for me now i get every game unless they play dallas.

You are just full of ridiculous statements.  Who said Tootoo was "the answer"?  You just don't like players who fight and look for any excuse to rag on them.  Tootoo has played well and that just pisses you off.

 

esteef

I just can't wait to see a line like abby,tootoo and helm or tootoo tatar and helm or any combination. that would be crazy.like freaking pissed off bees flying around.

The were a lot more variables in 09 than the lack of enforcers.  And even so it came so close they could just have easily have won the cup. 

 

Also you can't honestly tell me you would rather have Tootoo than Hossa. 

Of course he or anyone else couldn't say that but thats not to say we don't need players skating out there just like tootoo or mac anyone like that. 

Wow people are really calling what tootoo did a sucker punch.......wow. Dorsett dropped his gloves so that tells me he was ready for a fight....E didn't drop his....Tootoo drops his gloves grabs Dorsett right in front of Dorsett's face and they both start going at it. So I'm not sure I see where some "sucker" punch is coming from. I think again Tootoo is getting a label because of past things. Like rrasco said Dorsett is just pissed he didn't get to fight someone obviously that doesn;t fight much and take out one of our D and he is pissed that lil ol tootoo was more than he could handle.

Per that video it looks to me they both started punching at the same time.

Who said that, who on here has said that their expectations of him were to score like Dats or Brunner??

 

Please quote that person so we can all laugh at their stupidity for expecting Tootoo to be Dats or even Marty Lapointe for that matter.

 

Otherwise post that you are making s*** up!

 

Edit Spelling!

 

Second edit:

 

Ok so one post you tell us he is not a scorer and no one should expect that from him, and then in another you want him on the second line because of his wrister????????

 

 

WOW!

so how would you want him to play opie? You Obviously want him to provide a ton more you said it your self with the semi sarcastic "The fact he provides very few other attributes is not a concern" post. What else would you want a player LIKE him to provide?

You need to chill dude. jesus. 

do you need a hug opie?

Many here may think I'm crazy (what else is new), but I'd love to Toots on the 2nd line, and some pp time.

 

He's deceptively fast, built like a tree stump, and IMHO has underrated hands/skill set.

 

If anything - he'll get the crowd outta their seats, and provide ALOT more excitement if he were to get more ice time.

 

Lets not kid ourselves; the Red Wings will be lucky to make the playoffs, and if we do - expect an early exit...What the heck do have to lose?

This right here. Me and my dad said the same thing. Why not give him a chance on the top lines. Dude is just flat out fast and he really does have good hands and a pretty hard wrister. Besides our top guys like dats and z who else plays every shift like it's his last. I still don't get why abby was on the top line....If you are going to do something like that why not try Tootoo.

You guys obviously missed the third period when he went into beats mode pretty much and was hitting everything that had a puck and working his heart out to try and make something happen for this team. But oh yeah lets not see that. He doesn't score like pavs and brunner and doesn't defend like lids so he sucks and I don't get why he is even on this team.....

Wings' Johan Franzen will face no disciplinary action for spearing Blues' David Perron last night, as NHL said no hearing scheduled.

Which is rightfully so. Perron boarded mule...mule speared perron...mule was kicked out of the game. And thats that.

Sorry...Was missing the GDT =)

*getting out crayons*

graphics will be added shortly. 

      vs     

Brunner       Zetterberg   Franzen

Bertuzzi        Filppula       Datsyuk

Abdelkader  Helm           Cleary

Miller            Emmerton   Tootoo

Kronwall     Ericsson

Quincey     Smith

Huskins      Lashoff

Howard

Like Ian White, Colaiacovo, or Quincey?  Because that's exactly who you did get. 

 

Also, since when is being overly aggressive a bad thing.  Everybody hated Tootoo until yesterday.  Personally, I think some roughneck m*****f***** is exactly what we need.  How many times do we have to say, "we need someone to stand up for our stars"?  Wizniewski does, which I can't say for any member of our current defense.

Have you stopped and compared Colaiacovo and Quincey's numbers to Wiz?? Pretty much the same. White is the only one that has a bit of the suck factor. One day we need Numbers...the next day we need a  roughneck as you put it.....

God forbid we overpay a good player as opposed to overpaying for Ericsson in the same offseason. 

hahahaha go on compare a "good" player as you call wiz to our current d men.
