Bleed Ericsson, bleed!

No.

What a blast!

Out of his mind? Big exaggeration there.

We need an enforcer, a goalie and a new GM named Yzerman.

Abby needs to challenge Hendricks right now. Try to give the team some kind of spark.

Emmerton is earning a one way ticket back to Grand Rapids for his performance tonight. And it takes a team like Washington to truly expose our penalty killing. That needs to be fixed ASAP.

Great play Helmer.

So is our goalie. That was a bad goal to give up, especially since Vokoun is making good saves on the other side. Next goal is huge in this game.

PK sucks every year because we're always last in shots blocked. The Wings just haven't caught on with the rest of the league in blocking shots. That was a high shot by Green, but still there's no threat of shot blocking, so the point man attack freely.

Conklin way out of position on that one. Emmerton with a bad turnover. Can't make mistakes against this team. We're not playing Columbus tonight.

Does Bertuzzi take pleasure in these boneheaded penalties? Thanks a lot Todd.

Is that fight tracker correct? Ericsson is 6'5 but only weighs 205 lbs? I thought he put on some weight in the offseason. He should weigh at least 220 with that frame. He better not weigh only 205.

As long as he punches people in the face, I can forgive his other mistakes.

That was a fun game to watch. Had a little bit of everything. Tomorrow should be a hell of a game. Big test for both teams.

That really sucks. I watch a lot of those channels, so this would be a big blow for me. The problem is that there are many different providers, but there's pros and cons to each. DirecTV is the best thing out there from my experience, but then s*** like this comes along.

I love Theodore's mask. That's pretty wild.

I wonder what their attendance is, though. That may have something to do with their behavior.

Good trades are pretty hard in NHL 12.

Thanks for the link. I love the zoomed in photos of all the details. Hard to spot that stuff on TV.

Is Cory Cross still available?

My favorite Nazarov story is when Eric Lindros confronted him in the parking lot after a game, with teammates trying to restrain him. They should have let Lindros have his way. This was after Nazarov and Darcy Tucker jumped Daniel Lacroix during a scrum and busted him up pretty good. Like I said, though, Zhamnov is the guy who surprises me in all this. I'm not surprised Nazarov is in favor of what his team is doing.

My favorite fights of his are the three KO losses he had to Steve Bosse. Must be some kind of record. Guy is a total brain-dead idiot.

He's a disgrace to enforcers everywhere and a total knucklehead. They should throw him into one of those Russian prisons and let inmates have their way with him.

I am a big fan of fighting as you all know. However, these North American goons that went to Vityaz are a ******* disgrace to their professions and I've had enough of their s***. An enforcer's job is to protect his teammates and go after players that need to be put in their place. NOT to pick on guys for no reason, especially players who are not fighters and can't defend themselves. It's just bully tactics which have no purpose to them. This is the worst kind of spotpicking BS I've ever seen and it's been going on for years now. Have these players forgotten what the code is? Gratton, Verot, Sugden, that retard Mirasty, Yablonski, Brennan, etc. These guys are all on my permanent hate list for their behavior the last couple of seasons. Are they too dickless to play in North America anymore, so they have to go to Russia to fight skilled players? And how about their coach Andrei Nazarov. The big Russian ***** who always got his ass kicked in the NHL, and now he's overcompensating for it by instructing his goons to pick on non-fighters for no reason. What an *******. The weird thing about Vityaz is their GM, none other than Alexei Zhamnov. He was a skilled player his whole career, so I'm surprised he's allowing this garbage. Sorry for the language.
