Speed, timely aggression, and FOCUS. DO what Babcock tells you to DO, boyz, and you got this one. I just KNOW it. Tonight we get goals from Franzen, Filppula, Smith, Ericsson and Cola. Yep, they all be grumpy and they ALL GIVE A s***!! GO, BELOVED RED WINGS!!! JUST DO IT!!!

This is wonderful, Rhah. If you haven't already, please consider putting it on the GD thread tomorrow and the X Number of Posts one too. Thanks for this!

Nicely done! I'm thinking this bidness is a real, authentic art form. Thanks for your talent and patience. I'd like to think it'd fire him up!

Surre, Rhah . We'll go with that for now...tee hee!

What you're still saying is that if one of our guys had taken on Bickell and challenged him, that still wouldn't have happened. You don't know that. Neither do I. I'm with you. I'd love to think that would be the result but we don't know that.

I actually know what you're saying. But how does that help us win games? Bickell's ultimately going nowhere and you can't be assured he'll back down. And our guy still goes off with whoever the a-hole is.

I don't think it had anything to do with the loss. It may have set a weird mood for you but not for me.

I'm talking about the legitimate hit on Bickell on the boards when he couldn't even skate till he finally picked himself up after two flops. What do you think's gonna happen if Ericsson or even Abby get called for retaliation penalties (which very well could be set up by the Hawks, ala tonight with Abby.) Where does that get us? How do we win with that? Maybe get Tootoo in to pound the crap out of Whoever, but again he is not an offensive threat and there's no way Babcock's gonna put him in the game at this point. Not sure how you think what you're proposing is going to help us win games. And that's the bottom line.

GMR, it HAS to be in the timing. Abby f***ed up majorly because he retaliated. We canNOT consistently do that kind of thing and expect to win. It's frustrating as hell but they gotta pick their battles. Like Ericsson did with Bickell.

You watch the end of the game? This is why they will remain losers no matter what happens. This is also why I'd like to see the Wings knock that arrogant, bullying s*** out of them.

Yeeeeahhh....Have you turned blue yet? Lotsa luck on that one. Collective P.O.S.

He has done nothing but float out there. He gives up constantly. I.do.not.like.him. And Flip? Somebody said it here. He consistently loses the puck, either at the blueline or in the offensive zone.

Pretty much responsible for two goals. ... ...I think...

Datsyuk is looking a bit unfocused tonight. For him, anyway. A big scary.

I knew you had a good face.

CONTINUE TO KICK ASS, YOU NO-GOOD, NON-SCORING, OLD, SLOW PIECE OF CRAP!!! Go, Cleary GO!!!!!! Shut 'em all up!!!

There's a perfect ugly example of retaliating against a gioon out of loyalty for your fellow player. We had a power play. Until Abby f***ed it up.

I'm thinking you really need to shut the hell up about this. Your point has been made. And no, even as a mod I can't stop you from mewling and puking, but you really need to shut the hell up about this. Thank you.

Didn't the Hawks score first in game 2?

I wanna see our guys start showing up where his deeelicious rebounds are.

Please, hockey gods, let it be true!
