Winging It In Motown Radio: Episode 12

by JeffHancock41 on Feb 6, 2012 5:00 AM CST in Podcast

The Super Bowl XLVI is in the books and who better to discuss and breakdown the game than three Red Wings bloggers? Graham, J.J., and myself share our Super Bowl thoughts and discuss all that's going on in the Wings world.

Why does the power play suck?

Where the hell is Johan Franzen?

Should Joey MacDonald start? (Yes...Ty Conklin sucks)

Does J.J. love Drew Miler?

Those questions will be answered and more on the latest episode of WIIM Radio. PLUS, Tyler joins us in the middle of the podcast to share his thoughts -- rapid fire style -- on the Wings. We wrap things up with a game of FMK starring the cast of Rosanne and discussing our favorite Super Bowl commercials.

So enjoy the latest episode of WIIM Radio. You can check us out on iTunes and download the podcast to your iPod or iPhone. You can also download the episode here. Stick tap to Brandon Langer for creating our intro. Check out his other music on Facebook and iTunes.

Let's Go Red Wings.

Franzen and his contract

Discounting the Ericsson contract, we can generally agree that Holland knows what he’s doing in signing contracts. I think that Franzen’s 4 million per season contract factors in the lack of effort during the regular season. There is no reason Holland signs him to such a low number if he expects Zetterberg/Datsyuk type production.

Powerplay

I think when teams are playing 5 on 5 but struggling on the powerplay, the simplest solution is to just stick with the exact same lines that you would use 5 on 5. I don’t really understand messing with the good chemistry.

Also, I really think a major problem with the power play is the lack of a right shooting forward. I may be completely wrong on this, but it seems like the majority of our PPG come from the middle or right side of the ice. Having a right handed shot to play on the left side of the ice would help a lot.

does Jeff hate Mikael Samuelsson?

did Russia beat Canada (again) in the World Juniors?
should the Red Wings trade for David Backes and Barret Jackman?

i expect the hard-hitting questions to be posed and answered once i hit that play button!

You wanna tell me that to mah face?!

Wait, so you're saying there's a radio program buried underneath that pic somewhere?

lol. It’s awesome you guys talked about this stuff. I was just chatting with a guy about this stuff as well. He is also concerned for this season’s weaknesses. Damn that PP and PK.

So when we score

we should still pull Conklin, and then play Joey Mac. That way we are still up 1-0 and then Joey can get the shutout.

Shane Doan???

I know you guys talked about getting him, but I don’t think it would work. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that Holland looks for guys that would fit in well with the team, and I don’t think Doan has the patience/temperment to play Red Wing style hockey. I like his grit, and it would be good to have somebody who isn’t afraid to mix it up (other than Commodore), so I was thinking more along the lines of Steve Ott. I think the guy would be great on a second or third line, he can score, and he’s pretty tough. Kinda like a McCarty 2.0…. Thoughts?

I hate Steve Ott

and Doan is a better scorer/heart guy.

Ott is more of a Maltby-type, except infinitely dirtier.

Patriots are not the Red Wings of football

We have TPH. The Pats have the perfect ~~insert extremely vulgar language here~~. How dare you!

Wings do not equal The Patriots.

Fuck the Patriots and everything about them. BTW, coming from a Colts fan. But I just don’t like their system they have up there or any of the players especially Brady. The only guy I like is Wilfork and that is because I repest his game so much.

So to conclude it, The Wings as a team and organization are more humble and have better people in charge.

Why is it that you can be a good team with a struggling power play, but not one with a struggling penalty kill? Detroit is 6th in the league in both GF and GA/G.

I don’t get why the distinction.
