Crymson is not an effective enforcer or a deterrent to anything.

Official Game Day Thread - - Tonights's Matchup - - VS. Start time: 5:00 EST Joe Louis Arena - Detroit, MI

Win clinches the division!

Thank you. I get real tired of all the bashing of Ericssson. This kid never even played defense until he was 17 years old. And he is now PLAYING IN THE NHL, that to me is just freakin amazing. And it Kindl's FIRST YEAR IN THE NHL. These young guys are going to make mistakes. I remember all this same s*** being said about Jiri Fischer the first 3 or 4 years he was with the Wings.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. Also using Bert's scuffles as an argument that fighting helped win the game for the Wings probably isn't a good way to go considering it was Nashville who scored consecutive times after the two fights to eventually take a 3-0 lead.

Ericsson plus 2 today cmon numbers don't lie... Franzen had a couple of chances Bert played PHYSICAL finally reminding me of his Vancouver days

Huge +1 for Bert. He should do that more often!

Babcock and Cleary both said the fights ignited the team in their post-game interviews. Is that enough proof for you?

I personally think they should do away with East and West all together and go back to Campbell and Wales and have every team travel equally... you want real parity, that's how you do it... as for the moves, give Winnipeg their Jets back, move ATL to Quebec and call it a day... we can revisit what to do with that abortion of an idea of putting a hockey team on South Beach another day...

ESPN sucks, find a new channel to watch. With Luck, Comcast may one day decide to create some competition for them.

Visnovsky scores on the PP... 2-0 Ducks!

Nope not at all what? He's not at all better than Salei or Kindl? Then why does Babcock continue to give Ericsson so many more minutes than either one of those guys? Why is it Kindl and Salei fighting for the bottom spot an not E? Tonight with Kronwall out, he moved Ericsson up to be the #4 d-man instead of Salei, a seasoned veteran who's logged 20+ minutes ATOI in his career. Is Babcock an idiot? Sure, Kindl looks pretty good for 13 minutes in a game. And Ericsson is going to have some gaffes when he plays 20 minutes. At this point guys, I'm not even just stating my opinion that Ericsson is better than these guys (I think he is, but it's not like I'm crazy about his play or think it's by a wide margin). But Babcock clearly thinks he is. If you took Ericsson out of the lineup, Kindl or Salei have to pick up a lot of those minutes. They're not going to look any better than Ericsson. Salei made a strong case for sitting out a game tonight, but on the awful penalty he took at the end of the game, it started with a terrible turnover by Kindl, but no one seems to see those. Like I said earlier, hopefully E and Kindl will improve and the Wings will have two relatively young, big, cheap defenseman on the bottom pairing.

Fighting has it's place. But there are too many staged fights and too many one dimensional worthless players. If I'm a Nashville fans I'm pissed that S.o.b. fought Bertuzzi. That's why I don't want a player like that on my team. I think the risk outweighs the reward when it comes to fighting, so I'd rather the team not fight until the instigator rule is taken out.

I'd love to see Killer do this more often. O'Brien must have been fearing paralysis there.

showing emotions with fists that is what we needed in this game and may need down the road

One of the best games I have ever seen from Howard, save for the third goal. Abby is in playoff mode and Franzen showed hustle the first time all season. Stay out of the box and we will be fine when we meet them in a couple weeks.

I posted it earlier but http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/hockeynight/2011040227

We as a collective should stop being bothered by refs ******* up calls. It happens all the time, we should be used to it by now. It's like complaining about the fact it snows in winter. Well, duh.

The entire Southeast Division (minus Washington) should move elsewhere.

Full disclosure: There is no Kayleigh Lynn Anderson. Her family members are fictional, as are her coach, school, and the dude that sells tickets for the Sens and his nephew. Happy April Fool's Day everyone. Thanks to those who played along (Call to Arms specifically) and, to the rest of you, GOTCHA!

Less skilled then Kopecky? He already skates better, is meaner, has better balance and i woulda say much better hands. Some people are saying hes a grinder already because he hasnt produced huge in his first full NHL season. He is showing more offensive promise then what Helm was in his first full season. Also dont forget Abby is probably the next big body getting PP time infront of the net, he'll produce more there

I'm not asking for people to agree with me I'm just saying how I feel on it.

Yeah right. This is just junk for the media. Not gonna get my hopes up.
