Definite interference. Who was that on? I'd be surprised if it was one of Gezlaf or Ryan. But was it really a blindside hit to the head?

I was curious to see what the Anaheim press said about the whole Datsyuk fight. I went to redwingscentral.com and filtered the media watch to show just the Anaheim articles. I looked through and clicked on ones that were related to this game. I know I didn't search through EVERY single Anaheim main source but I did not find one single mention. Why not?

Eh, why should we care about what Cherry had to say?

Speaking of which, on the detnews Wings website main page ( http://detnews.com/section/sports0103 ), they have a picture of the wrong Filppula at the top. I hope someone gets fired for that.

Anyone else notice in the pictures the way Pav seems to be smiling throughout the deal??? I mean, in a fight the two dudes usually look really mean and he's there looking like he's just having fun with the whole thing.

Anyone else incredibly excited about the bolded part? The top two lines battling each other, making each other better and tougher.

Not quite. We still hated him even after they won the cup. But in 08-09 he started to play very, very well. That is, for his standards. He looked like a top-4 quality defenseman on the bottom pairing.

Hate to open a past wound but I hope Lilja "gives back" for his 2007 blunder.

Babs once said that Fil is the best skater on the team. Something like that. A race would be nuts. Fil has always had to pace himself for around 15-17 minutes right? So what if he could just go balls to wall? So much questions.

I hope Mikey thanked Cleary for that one.

I don't really blame Lilja. But this just sucks for Wings fans.

Nice play.

Keith will get his. Somehow, someway. Be ready Gary, it's gonna happen.

I don't mean to start a flame war or anything but I was just thinking about this the other day. But oh man, I gotta be careful when airing these thoughts. Okay, here goes. I don't know Canadian culture and I don't know the Canadian system of hockey school. But does the culture encourage players to act like what we label as a "sore loser" when the game doesn't go your way? I don't know if you're a lawyer/political figure or would like to be one day but this is an extremely POWERFUL ending statement. Well done. The Ducks fans that lurk around here had to be pouting after they read that. My goodness.

Special player.

It's even much worse than we could have imagined.

And a brand new pair a testicles.

The Filppula line, to me, still has the most question marks. I'd like for them to play together as much as possible especially in order for them to get a good start.

Now that Lilja is gone the remaining Swedes have all been drafted by the Red Wings. Lidstrom Kronwall Ericsson Zetterberg Holmstrom Franzen Wow there's only six now. I miss the days when they had like 40.

Here comes a "poorly managed club that just wun da cupppp!" response.

You guys don't seem to realize a lot of things.

I don't know. We've been saying that the past couple of years only to be surprised and angry.

But wait I thought those guys were good enough to step in for any core members?

Reunited Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg poised to deliver for Red Wings http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2010/10/reunited_pavel_datsyuk_and_hen.html Zetterberg: That's something I wish was just a little different but ah well. Datsyuk: Modano:

How about that Brian Campbell? Hehe.
