Corey Perry's devastating high sticking to his own face. That bastard should be suspended indefinitely.

I hope you're being sarcastic, because his elbow doesn't even touch his head

Its a running gag through all my GDT's Justine Abdelkader brings the luck. It started with my Its Always Sunny one.

I miss the fact that play doesn't continue after someone lays another player out with huge, clean hit. It pisses me off that players go after Kronwall (or any other player for that matter) after a huge hit. To me, this should be called as delay of game if it immediately follows a legal hit.

I have always been a supporter of Johnny...even when he struggled to find his game I always thought he could elevate. I thought last night that the Big E had the VERY best game of his career. I think it was overlooked by Pashas unbelievable shot and Bruns OT winner, but he has really impressed me in the playoffs and especially last night. He used his size to punish the quacks over and again. He has been a difference maker on the PK. He also made some really good decisions with the puck. Like a few guys on this team, he stepped up. After being the goat on this roster, I wanted to give props where they are due. We are watching Ericsson turn into a legit shut down Dman and it's very cool to watch!

We can agree to disagree on where he should be in terms of lines but I do disagree with not using his body effectively- that's one of the features of his game that has become a weapon. He lead ALL defenseman in hits by a landslide ( 26 more in the regular season that Kronwall) As for trading him.....we just signed him in the summer so he isn't slated to become a UFA for 3 years. At a 3.25 million cap hit, I would also disagree with your assertion that he is overpaid. Quincey makes more! Anyway, I am not arguing that he is the next Bobby Orr or that he should win the Norris....I simply wanted to give Kudos where they are due. We dog the guys when they don't show up...I think we should also praise when they excel.

My question is, would Ericsson and kindl have progressed like they have if Lidstrom didn't retire. The extra responsibilities may have been exactly what they needed to take the next step.

A couple of my friends from Windsor were at this game. They always send me pics and vids since I can't be there. This is the one they sent me of the Kronwalled chant.

And continued with the Phoenix Coyote Ugly GDT then one vs Chicago

I miss these guys

My beef is when its done immediately after the hit takes place. I have no problem if you ask the player that laid your guy out to "go" the next shift, but when someone jumps the player that just blasted a guy on their team (specifically when its not an illegal hit and no call is coming), it should be delay of game. You never saw this type of stuff until after the 2005 lockout. It's BS.

Probably not for a few more years. He'll get the call-up in case of injury but they won't have him sitting on the bench when he can be starting tons of games for what should be a very very good farm club.

Love the tenacity and never quit attitude the Isles are bringing turns out the "easy opponent" isn't so easy to play against right Pittsburgh? Love it

Now that the Wings have gone beyond all our rational expectations, can the people who are posting things like "God, we are awful" please just cool it for the rest of the playoffs? We are going to get scored on. And we are going to lose games. That's not Kind. That's not Samuelson. That's not Howard. THAT'S F$%KING SPORTS, PEOPLE. Now is the time to cheer for the Wings. Not trash them. We've got a good squad.

id give it to weber, seabrook or chara, due to their defensive skills

Simple solution = Bobby Orr Trophy to the top scoring Dman. Norris to best all around.

From just a cursory search: Should I keep going? Like I said, I understand getting upset when a team is losing or not looking good, then feeling more optimistic when they actually play well. But spare me the lectures on how people should post just because you're feeling good about the team. One last one. You claim: But...

Watching this game on NBC is kinda like microwave pizza. It's still pizza, but it sucks.

Offense can't score. Howard is the problem. Just wow.

We had Osgood when Hasek rode the pine. Had it been the other way around, we'd have had Hasek when Osgood sat. They had been identical during the regular season. There was no bad choice- it was a matter of riding the hot one. Now we have Jimmy, who has had many vital saves and.... who is it again? Oh, yeah, Monster, who has played so little that he's barely registering on our collective radar. Bench Jimmy? Nay! Rather, pray that he doesn't get injured!

Not my work, but I thought it was funny and that it would be enjoyed here.

When you go to a newer arena......newer as in the last 15 years, you realize what a Dump the Joe is........Great memories....always a good time....but a dump.
