Nice! Brian has definitely earned this with his consistent solid defensive play. And I guess putting the puck in the net a few times doesn't hurt either. Now it's time to sign Brunner to a 5-6 year extension!!

Has no idea what he's talking about

Dumbest thing posted in a long time. Ericsson has been very solid this season

The bowl was probably already damaged from the Kronner-Havlat hit and this goal just finished it off.

^Yeah cause 19th overall defensemen who have good NHL experience usually get sent packing for nothing. Like I said before we undervalue him but our narrow mindedness keeps us from realizing we're just a few guys on forums, the hockey world doesn't agree.

Your poltergeist was afraid of getting Kronwalled and displayed it's displeasure on your glassware. So uh.. you gonna finish that chicken?

Last nights whining from Canucks fans has inspired a new GDT for me. Hockeytown0001 already does a fantastic job with them here so mine won't be necessary, but here is the header, which I'll add the rosters/stats and standings to.

So now it wasn't coming off the bench to start a fight, but he's still suspended? It's disappointing every time Shanaban and the disciplinary committee just make crap up as they go along. If it was a legal line change, then it really wasn't much of anything to warrant 2 games. If it wasn't, then it's 10 games.

Lol, exactly. Lol. Kenny aint that cheap. He'd probably throw in Tatar as well.

As a parent I would always send my kid the NCAA route. Even if my kid was Crosby. You just never know how someone will pan out, e.g. Daigle. Much better to have an education to fall back on... plus it's good to have a college education, even if you never need to formally use it.

I haven't forgotten Chicago's history (routinely bottom 10 in attendance pre-lockout), but that's an oversimplification. They routinely have some of the best attendance in the league now. Their old ownership was so bad people couldn't even get the games on TV (and the team sucked). TV viewership and fan interest is one thing, but when it comes to putting butts in the seats and the prohibitive costs of ticket sales, I really don't blame "casual" fans for staying home when the product is terrible. Also, I wonder how Detroit would rank if you measured ACTUAL attendance as a percentage of tickets sold. JLA is embarrassing at times on TV, especially in the lower bowl - it looks like 15,000 to 17,000 out of 20k capacity actually show up for games. Of course, those are terribly expensive tickets you see, but even they're corporate, somebody has that ticket and is sitting on it.

Its all well and good that hes putting up points, but that was never a question going into this season, we knew that the back-end of this team would be pretty good at the offensive side of the game. Its the OTHER side of things that Kronwall and others have been dismal. They aren't making the plays in the defensive end. And this was, and still is the biggest issue for the Wings. Kronwall right now is a Rafalski, the Wings need a shutdown guy to complement him.

I live in Vancouver as well, I love days like this ... I make sure I give all the locals here a textful. I could watch this game's highlights all day!

This just popped up after another video I was watching. I thought it was hilarious.

So is it too early to order my Damien Brunner jersey? lol The guy is a phenomenal addition to our team. Really hope Holland gets him signed to an extension.

HAHAHA bye bye Lu. Awesome game. What's with the USA chant? Dumb.

I really enjoy tootoos game!

This dude has some wicked hands up close.

Playing in Florida multiple times a year would be f***in amazing!

If you're gonna suspend Clowe for coming off the bench, at least let him kick Shaw's ass. Shaw flopped to the ice like a little b**** knowing an ass-whippin was coming. Pathetic. esteef

hahaha thats awesome. Too bad if that happened today you would probably get a game misconduct and a subsequent hearing from Brendan Shanahan and 1 game suspension. You can just tell watching the games how much Micky Redmond loathes the direction the leagues heading in

Interesting that "subtle interference" by the Wings is now called "a little bit of a screen" by Eddie O when the Hawks do it. Such a douchenozzle. And cheap hit by Shaw on Pavelski at the end of the game. esteef

I thought Brunner was the new and improved Hudler. Can we just agree that Hudler wasn't spectacular and leave it at that? Haha, poor guy.

[yes i know it's "Brooner" but whatever...write a letter if it bothers you]
