Well…with the season starting for the Wings tonight, I thought I’d do one on the hopes and dreams that come from a new season…..okay, no hopes and dreams at all, not sure why I wrote that….just want a better season than last year…no injuries that keep the stars out for half the year and no crappy goaltending. But, the thing is, if we play well, there is no need to lean on the goaltender every night. I am disappointed with the play of some of the guys who got the big contracts last year…I’m talking to you Frantzen…one of the most frustrating players we have when there are games that he can’t be stopped and then the next one you can’t remember him even being on the ice…and that can’t be attributed to the other teams learning how to play him..he has been in the league long enough that everyone has seen him…he just needs to adjust to them and get the job done.  We do need the injury bug to stay away this year…but, it looks like it is still here with Pavel getting injured in the pre-season, and it looks like he will be out until next week at the earliest….and I have my fingers crossed that Hank’s back is finally 100% after the injury and surgery last year…he says it is and since he is the captain…we’ll take his word for it. I am excited to see the youngsters play again this year and see if the way they played last year was a fluke or not…it is cool to see how fast they are and how enthusiastically they play…that in itself makes them fun to watch. That’s it…only one thing left to say…Let’s go Red Wings….
