2 games? Sounds fair. That guy is going to have fake teeth for the rest of his life because some idiot decided it would be a good idea to cross check him in the mouth. I thought Shanny describes the suspension perfectly, seems cut and dry.

I thought it was funny because EVERYONE knew it was a flop. There wasn't a single person defending him. I saw he got clipped very slightly, but not enough to act like he had been taken out by a sniper. I felt bad for the ref who didn't have the best view and had to go off the skewed angle, he's probably getting ripped on at all the refs meetings for that ejection.

If two players were exactly the same and one could fight and they made the same salary, I'd pick the fighter. But when one player is significantly better than another player, i'll pick the better player if they are being paid the same regardless if they can fight. And Miller's offense is much better than Nystroms. Miller has more goals and points in 100 less games, that's pretty significant. Am I a liar? No. Are you misinformed about who you are arguing about? Possibly. And no, I don't like Lucic, he's a punk. Guys I'd like over Miller for a fourth line role include, but are not limited to: Jamie Tardiff, Konopka, Crombeen (if he worked on his defense some), Prust (he can also slot into the 3rd line as well), Thornton (the crappier one), Hendricks. Take a wild guess who my favorite non-Red Wing affiliated player is. Blues Brothers knows it and we both agree he NEEDS to be on our team, do you know? So quit thinking you know everything about me, because you are very off base trying to judge me and trying to judge my likes and dislikes.

Or maybe some people just don't see an issue with it. If you hate Amway and want everything associated with it to die, then where were you 1996 when Jay Van Andel donated a significant chunk of change to help build Van Andel arena? I don't hear people bitching about that right now, and it seems everyone hear has ZERO issues with the Griffins playing in an arena named after the founder of Amway.

False. I see him throwing his arms up as to say "WTF". Not throwing his arms up as "OMG I'm le hurt"

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If that's a shot about signing Brunnstrom i agree. I thought we shouldn't have signed him and instead should have played Nyquist. As for my comment earlier, it seems every time some scrub gets waived , but fights, the fight slappies want Holland to pick him up even though he is absolute garbage. Case in point, this thread. A. This thread. B. Not true in the slightest. There are plenty of guys that I like that also fight. C. I do, I even point it out earlier in the thread. Maybe you should read the entire thread before trying to call me out

Must be why he left the game after the hit for a while.

"Hey, this guy can fight, but he's terrible in every other aspect, Wings should sign him and sit someone who is better!"

I gave you a +1 for making a singular thread for the season. unfortunately, as per your other line threads, i probably won't look at them.

If you don't want a corporate sponsor, foot the bill then.

Definitely got his bell rung, took a shoulder right to the face (not principle point of contact, though). I don't see how anyone could say he was faking anything.

This place is clearly dead when I'm not here . Damn my night job!!!!

A 3rd and 4th line dominated an NHL team. Think about it for a second. And now they kept the other team from scoring on them out there last night. So they are scoring goals and keeping opponents off the scoresheet. Why in the hell are we taking about Eric "Scrub player" Nystrom still?

It wasn't embellished. Looks like he took a tricep in the jaw.

Michigan Football as well also probably cut into things. I know I watched the Tigers and flipped to the Wings game, it's not every year the Tigers make the postseason.

Very impressed by Franzen Filppula and Conklin. Unimpressed by Stuart thus far this game. Let's get a PP goal eh?

They should have done it last night as well. You never know when an injury will occur and getting it done that one game sooner would have been a nice luxury. So is he even in Detroit or did they just say he is on the 23 man roster?

Am i the only person who doesn't give a crap who our sponsor is? We are still the Red Wings. Illitch is still the owner. It's not like we are the Detroit Amways or play at Joe Louis Amway Arena. Amway is footing a huge bill. Without that massive corporate sponsorship, we'll start being less competitive. I know I don't want that, do you? Would you be ok not being able to spend to the max and have the best possible team possible? It's a sponsor. It doesn't change the team and no one outside of Red Wing fanboys give a hoot who our sponsors are. I can't name more than 2 or 3 sponsors of any teams around the league, i assume most can't either.

This guy is a gun! Plus at the prospect camp, he was my unofficial liason between him and the Slavic guys. It's rare to find a semi-normal goalie who just oozes leadership.

Especially after they just dominated tonight. If the bottom six can put up at least one goal a night and be a threat for two a night, there won't be a need for anymore bottom six guys.

Meh, doesn't matter to me. Maybe less fighters are playing and that's why the numbers are down. They could be higher or lower, still won't matter to me.

I guess that also mean James Reimer is the leagues best goalie too.

Hudler/Miller/Emmerton/Kindl all looked above average. The helm line was beast. The Zetterberg line showed flashes of brilliance early on, i want to see them bury the puck, that line has the most skill on it of all the lines and they walked away with zero ES points.

He didn't look that bad, he just didn't look good. I can recall 4 times that Ericsson pinched in the offensive zone and left Kindl to defend a 2v1. Plus, Ericsson did absolutely nothing on that third goal for the Sens. He was a bigger screen than the Sen. He wasn't bad, he just wasn't good. When you're fighting for a roster spot, yes.
