Wings thus far
October 16, 2008 – 9:55 pmSo I’m sitting here watching the Wings (and more precisely watching them scoop Stuart off the ice) and I’m thinking they don’t look so hot yet this season.
Yes, I realize the season just started, but they haven’t impressed me yet. Except Holmstrom. That dude has managed to get his stick in all the right places (that’s what she said) and is on pace for an 82 goal season. If that happened, I’d probably literally poop my pants.
But really, I’m just not seeing it. I think they just need to flood that first line and put Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Hossa together. Or, perhaps move Hossa down with Flippula and Franzen and put Zetterberg back on the first line. Basically what I’m saying is get Datsyuk and Zetterberg back together.
Obviously this can’t happen until they put Zetterberg’s groin back together or whatever it is they do in these situations. How manf of these guys are out with groin injuries? Have they ever heard of stretching?
Anyhow, I’m a little worried. Their play has looked anything but dominating, and Ozzie is a good goalie but not great enough to win us a game on his own. The skaters need to get their act together.
