Good Point, But You’re Stupid

Vartan Kupelian used to cover the Wings for the Detroit News. Now he’s a golf writer, for the most part. But that doesn’t stop him from lending us his genius analysis of the current slide.
The same offensive players that were so dominant—Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and a few of the others—aren’t being allowed to luxury of extra space to perform their magic tricks.
Bigger, stronger opponents—playing with greater intensity and passion—are preventing the Wings from enjoying the same scoring opportunities.
The operative phrase there is “bigger, stronger.”
All decent points, despite the fact that they’re a re-hash of the NBC Wing Roast yesterday. Still, Vartan seems to be heading toward a stirring conclusion. Until he hits a self-imposted road block…
It was particularly interesting that Johan Franzen—the Moose—was singled out by coach Mike Babcock for playing an outstanding game against Dallas. Franzen had six of the Wings’ 28 shots.
Woops. Guess there goes the credibility, eh Vartan?

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
