I don't think there's a Swedish Mafia thing at all. I think the Red Wings have always respected their veterans and don't throw them under the bus. I don't think it has anything to do with those three being friends. Cleary Holmstrom McCarty Chelios Draper Maltby We've kept plenty of players around on this team when they shouldn't really have been. Same old s***. In the case of Ericsson I don't think they're necessarily keeping him because he's a Red Wing "veteran". I just think they don't think he's that bad of a player to buyout or put on waiver. But as far as Kronwall, yeah I think he's only kept around because of the same reasons the 6 guys I listed up there were. Loyalty. On another note- Kronwall has a f***ed up knee because he served the Red Wings. The least they can do is continue to pay him and let him play if he wants to. Think about that for a minute. Niklas Kronwall has a f***ed up knee because he was a warrior for the Red Wings for over a decade. And there's fans out there that cuss this guy out because he's not as good anymore. How disgusting is that? I mean I'd love for him to be LTIR'd but some of the stuff you see on social media written about this guy is ridiculous and classless. Some fans deserve their own knees to be busted.

Don't do drugs, kids.

LGRW Our last loss didn't bother me; I am officially numb to losses. I'm just a fan. A fan with nothing to lose.

lets win one for the captain, go wings

HYPE!

I agree. I don't want Blashidiot coaching him into a grinder. Frk on a checking line is as useful as Jiri Hudler lining up at LT for the Lions. He can't play a grinding role and the grinders can't get him the puck where he needs it. Either play him with scorers or bench him.

Ready for tonight's game. LGRW

No! I want instant gratification and I want it NOW!

Guilty as charged. I've done it. And yeah it's probably unfair. Putting him up against other teams best players is a recipe for disaster. He's playing a role beyond his skill level and that's not his fault. It's his salary that draws the ire of so many I think. If he was making less, I don't think he would get beaten up as much. Again, not his fault. Holland signed him to that contract and then failed to replace/add any legit top pairing guys. So he gets exposed and then berated for it. The same "fans" who wanted Franzen to have permanent brain damage so that he could be taken of the roster and put on LTIR. That was worse. I know there's probably a reason behind the name, but Golden Knights sounds way to cartoonish. What does gold have to do with with knights? Its like the softest metal there is, no knight would ever use it. I have a feeling they will eventually drop the "Golden" and just go with Knights. Just like the Ducks dropped "Mighty".

Also Golden Knights suck

Some day

Why not both?

No.

Agreed. He's had his stick in the lane at the right times and played will in the corners and actually been good. It's interesting to see the GDT bitching about Ericsson though. I disagree. He's not that bad to begin with. That's just fake news among the fan base. Ericsson is a decent top 4 defenseman that's forced to play top 2 when he shouldn't be. With a good partner (Kronwall pre-knee injury) he was actually good. I would even say he's better than Dekeyser who is probably the most overrated and overpaid defenseman on our team. Ericsson he shouldn't be facing top competition he should be facing the lesser competition. He's a good penalty killer because of his size and his stick. He's actually one of the few players on our team that actually uses his size besides Abdelkader.

Ericsson has actually been really good these past few games. One of our better defensemen in my opinion. Unfortunately, it probably won't last much longer...

Guys... I think we might not win the Cup this season.
