Get a 4th for Ghost (per buddha's doubts...) and a 5th for Perron? And bring up Edvinsson and Kasper? If those guys are ready for the NHL challenge (the big question), then I don't see a problem there. It needs to be done. At least at some point in time.

buddha Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 the talk before this losing streak was them looking to re-sign perron, which is crazy, imo. i know he's a good locker room guy but his play has really deteriorated this year. i was hoping they would have trade a defenseman for the reasons already articulated by everyone else. "old, but slow" is not a good motto for your defense corps. i honestly think they expected someone (anyone!) to get hurt. and there have been almost no injuries to the defense.

Where did I say the fans should cheer no matter what? Do you think they players are trying to lose? Once again, what would it accomplish? I guess if hearing the booing makes you feel better that is nice for you, I just don't see the point of doing it let alone making up a scenario in your head before the game where it should happen. Seems like a miserable way to live, but that's just me. I hope you get what you want because you're apparently pretty worked up about it.

lordstanley Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 (edited) I recall the good ol’ days of 2 weeks ago when the biggest controversy around the Wings was whether Jared Goff chants were out of place.

I do think that one win, let's hope tonight a thumping of Arizona, can set the team back into a hot streak. Maybe just wishful thinking. But I think the Wings are actually a pretty good team.

gehringer_2 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Speaking of conservative. The more I think about it, the more their use of Seider frustrates me. Here you have a player that can dominate the ice and you task him to be the guy standing in front of your own net most of the time. Total waste of skill. Sure it's great if he adds that to his overall repertoire but if that's their career plan for him someone in the FO may need to take a BC twohander upside the head to figure out that's a stupid strategy. Turn him loose. Edited March 14 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say much for the team but it does say that Larkin is probably a better player than he is ever given credit for either around the league or even in Detroit.

motownblues Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 So disappointing. It looked like there was solid progress and a sense that things were slowly turning around. It's going to take much longer than we thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he tried, no way to know. Stevie is a tight lipped as any GM in the history of major sports. There’s a saying in golf that if you want to be a better putter, hit it closer to the hole and give yourself easier putts. The best way to improve goaltending is to play better in front of Lyon and let him make easier saves. Edited March 15 by Hongbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - At one time I played a lot of straight pool and and it's exactly the same thing. Guys that make a lot of shots give themselves a lot of easy shots to make. The other weird thing with the Wings is how when they bring in a player he always seems to start out making a nice impact and then by the time half a season goes by they disappear - I'm thinking Perron, Sprong, Walman. Even DeBrincat's 1st month was his best. Is it just a general hockey thing where guys come to a new team really feeling up against it or is there something about the Wings system that is crushing guys that come into it?

Tigerbomb13 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don’t think I’ve seen a collapse this epic. I’m not sure if this team could beat the Griffins right now. Blowouts night after night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
