Don't think this team makes the playoffs without Nyquist. I know we're down two top six forwards, but this is just inexcusable.

I want to know how in the world that is not a penalty on helm? Helm may have lost his footing but he was celarly shoved

Seriously, how much better would the 4th line be in a game like this with Toots on that line instead of DFC.

would it make a difference though? this team would still suck. and tootoo can't score either.

this team doesn't need tootoo. this team needs skill and speed. which is why nyquist would help, but still wouldn't change the whole problem. we need more players like him.

19 shots on goal against the NEW YORK ****ING ISLANDERS..I thought I was frustrated after the last game, and the one before, and the one before, and the one before.

Why does everyone think Nyquist will turn around the team -_- He's very talented, but it's going to take a lot more than just him to turn things around.

Tootoo is fast and draws penalties. We could use that right now.

This team has zero heart this year outside of the Pav, Z, Kronner and DeKeyser.

I don't think heart is the problem. I've seen heart from Abby all season long. Helm, Bert, even Tatar plays hard despite his unfortunate circumstances. Cleary might suck but he has heart. Miller gives it his all. Eaves, Emmerton and Tootoo did the same before being waived.

We need talent. Heart is overrated.

he also gets penalties. ;)

while he's probably better than cleary, just like almost any AHLer would be, he's still not enough to make any difference. we need a bigger shakeup.

and it won't happen. so i guess i will just stop watching the wings for now and watch other games every night. :dunno:

He would make a difference out there. Maybe not on the scoresheet but he provides energy and grit.

I think a lot of you guys need to calm down and stop thinking the Wings are going to finish last in the league. Don't understand why people panic all the time when the Wings are losing.

There definitely is a taken deficiency in our bottom six, but heart is a problem. We need Mule to be dominant night after night, game after game. We need Howie to be one of our best players on in the majority of the games we play. We need to Cleary, Abby, Bert, etc to win more puck battles then they lose (which is not the case).

Too many times this season we have played with no urgency. This team has too much talent as it is to sit where we sit in the standings.
