Hockey is fun when your team does not suck.

I guess I don't get that. Fowler is a solid offensive defenseman. Green has devolved into a solid offensive defenseman - formerly elite. And we all seem to believe that more skilled, veteran offensive D would be a a boon to this team. So what's to say that another skilled, offensive defenseman wouldn't also be producing in this system? Fowler has produced before, and continued to produce modestly as an OFD despite being displaced by two extremely talented defenseman. He's pushed back, has supplanted the others, and his statistical columns have responded. Why does that suggest he wouldn't be as good in this system? For every "supporting cast" argument, there's the "better opponents/more PK energy expended" argument.

You clearly think players will put up roughly the same amount of points no matter the circumstances (linemates, teammates, playing style, etc). I greatly disagree with that. Let's just move on.

 

[Filppula]

Tatar!!!!

This is perfect for his confidence!

 

[Claypool]

[wings95]

And Tats with the hattie, Nice that they're finally going in for him he deserves to be rewarded here.

 

[aar000n]

Time to play total defense all 3rd

 

[ap3x]

About time for Tatar. Not gonna deny that he annoyed me at times. But he paid it back tonight, curse broken. Finally.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Tatar!!!

Yup a few more like this, And he will be right back to where he needs to be.

 

[obey86]

and we're starting to see tatar's shooting percentage normalize from extremely unlucky.

 

[Red Stanley]

What a crappy hat trick. Utterly unenjoyable. #fireeveryone

Grandiose simplification, man. "Players?" No. I think highly talented players who play impact roles will put up points if given the chance. You just seem to think Green is an impact player while Fowler somehow isn't. I disagree. I think both are talented enough to put up points, especially at this point in their respective careers, regardless of how well the team as a composite does. But I do agree that we should move on.

 

[rx7dryver]

DD screwed em.

 

[Go Wings]

Great team to do that against Tatar ...now maybe we can trade you to Anaheim for a young defensmen.

 

[TheMule93]
