I hate these kinds of threads. So does this mean that we shouldn't criticize Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Rafalski, Bertuzzi and Leino for not being consistent and producing offensively? Since when did star players have to rely on guys like Flip and Franzen to carry them? Our top 3 players have been untouched this year when it comes to injuries. Let me put it this way. I place no blame on Franzen, Flip, Kronwall, Williams and Lilja for this season's struggles. The other guys in the lineup are fair game if they aren't playing up to their potential.

How can you be -19 in 28 games? He must have been on pace to break some records with that kind of stat.

Are you related to Todd Bertuzzi by any chance? Calling him our best player is like saying that Lebda is our best d-man. And if he's so skilled and hard-working, how come his has so few points? Skill and hard work usually equals tons of points.

Sorry doesn't pay the bill, Georges. Because of this dumb goof, our best d-man this season is injured for 2 months. I still hate Laraque.

Well, 2000 years ago he promised that he would eventually come back to Earth. And now he has finally appeared again, in Phoenix, in the form of Robert Lang.

Beats me.

That'd be funny if Lebda stood up and said "ENOUGH"!!!

I don't see the point of this. Then again, nothing else the NHL does makes any sense either.

His injury has definitely fuc*** our season up. I don't see us going anywhere deep without him. It sucks already that he won't make the Olympics, but it'll hurt the Wings chances of even making the playoffs if he doesn't come back.

One of my favorite players ever and a true definition of a hockey player. I miss not seeing him in a Wings uniform. I hope no one wears his number anytime soon.

We beat the Blues last game.

Howard won the game for us. Say what you want, but he's outplayed what's his face over the last month or so.

Ericsson has turned into a complete waste of space. Bigger version of Lebda and Meech.

Ericsson = Uwe Krupp?

He hasn't hit anyone since the playoffs last year.

Anyone seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I think that's what happened to Datsyuk at the start of the playoffs last year. Someone, or something possessed his body.

Talentless goons? They have a lot of talent on their team. I wish our star players had some of the grit their top guys have.

I hope to God one of our players would do that to Pronger or Iginla. People around fight sites have mixed opinions on whether this was a suckerpunch or not, but the suspension is definitely surprising.

Nice pics. Where exactly were you sitting? Those pics look like they were taken from several different places.

The other rookies are all playing better than him, with fewer minutes I may add.

Thanks for proving my point. Apparently those guys aren't struggling right now, even though they're getting far fewer minutes than Leino.

Wasn't hard for me at all.

I hope Leino goes back to Finland this summer. He doesn't belong in the NHL. Maltby and Draper are better goalscorers than him this season. Don't forget this bum started the year playing in the top 6. What did the coaches see in him to give him that kind of chance?

Maltby has been a better scorer than Leino this year. Should have gone with him.

We'll never be better than .500 in shootouts with someone like Ozzie in net.
