exactly 1 year ago, people on here were suggesting to try and play Gardiner on the wing, since he sucks at playing d.

Yet they're still too physically inept to be a playoff contender, or anything more than skilled 'magic trick'.

The "Red Wing Way" was soon exposed after the Cap system was implemented, and the results since that one Cup win have showed that the system is no where close to being the NHL methodology to follow.

By having no character from Babcock on down continues to fail. You Leaf sheep will understand this one day.

You might be right about the salary cap affecting the "Detroit model" since you can't just go sign a Brett hull or Chris chelios to fill out your roster. You're character comment about Babcock exposes you as a week troll. It would be tough to be a leaf hater these days so I don't blame you. Best you can come up with.

The usual Leaf sheep retort - troll. The results have shown, since the last stacked team that the Red Wings could offer, that this "great" system doesn't deliver the results when it matters most - that being the playoffs.

I've been a leaf fan for over 25 years. I'm no troll.

Says the guy whose alias is "babcockblows".

31-24-31 points previous seasons.
he'll be back at that level.
4mln is quite alot for a #4 d man that can't play defense

people we're talking about nick holden as if he was a #7 d-man, but at least he can play d... almost similar numbers. and that at a 1.5mln salary.
- MaximusAurelius

would imagine that getting the puck from the defensive zone and 180 feet closer to the opponent's net would also count as playing defense, no?

Or does he have to be a slow, shot-blocking "stay at home" guy to be good at D?

Arcangel has no character. One of the lamest jerseys in the Marvel Universe too.
