What does he get paid per fight? Then I can have an opinion.

Lebda. That is all.

from freep

Chosen one is quite extreme. What has he done lately that you defend him so much? Ericsson earlier this year does not make up for the player we see lately. He has 2 completely different seasons and I don't see him turning it around anytime soon.

And that's what I thought too. He did look like he was making a conscious effort to get to the puck and he had a great setup to Flipper for the PP goal. It's only a matter of time, but I wanted to help it along a little with this. Seemed to work for Flips.

Doesn't make it anymore acceptable for an experienced guy who should be on his way to peaking not descending in his career to keep it up. It's everyone's tired excuse to compare the 2. Truth hurts a lot of people apparently. Hank And nah, he didn't have more. Kindl had 2. Ericsson had 5 and 3 very noticeable TOs. They both aren't very good but give me Kindl with the puck skill and seems to be more physical. Just stating Ericsson needs a sit for a little, might make him hungrier.

My bad. I didn't mention those and I am not in anyway saying Kindl > Ericsson. That was actually not the debate. There aren't any of the turnovers that E had in the game on this video other than cute little head fake then just a nice pirouette to the ground and a quality chance. I watched the game and he had little to no effect with the puck, without the puck. Harold you are a very knowledgeable hockey guy and I would think that aside from this video, which was more or less me showing highlights, you can see that Kindl will most likely take those minutes. It's really the hope that people have for E that they hold onto I guess that makes them still think he can become something it appears he never will.

Snipe . That's how you do it, get the puck shoot the puck Hockey lesson of the day

I shall be sheets to the wind, but won't be coming from me. I'll chant Matt Cooke sucks first. Sure it won't catch on either

If they somehow start that chant when he isn't playing, I will be quite upset with our fanbase acting like, dare I say, Blackhawks "fans"?

He had 3 very clear giveaways that if Joey wasn't playing out of his mind would have cost us the game. I can't be careful or acknowledge much positive from him much anymore. It's getting worse.

Miller had a bit of a fight. Basically 20 seconds or so, got 1 good shot in then took him down. Looked like #24's first fight ever. Beautiful snipe by Flip, MacDonald wall put up, and some Ericsson's giveaways documented

Absolutely. Now let's add some more banners to the rafters and Hall of Fame career shall be guaranteed.

Killian's was great, Irish or not. My fave beer for sure.

There's an awful lot of LGW'ers going to the Pitt game it seems including myself. Get together perhaps?? These updates aren't coming in quick enough honestly.

They all have bad games and here I am busting Ericsson's chops again but.... He was garbage again last night. No look passes in your own zone in front of the goalie and tripping and knocking the goalie down? When Salei comes back and barring Raf's health, there is no reason why he shouldn't be sat for a little. Plain and simple. Please attempt to defend him now because I am quite interested to see this.

I was wondering who I read that from yesterday. Cheers for that prediction! You even sidestepped "SHUTOUT" and there it was. Way to go Joey. I am glad my confidence in players doesn't exactly reflect performances because he was staying big in the net, rebound control was excellent, and he was even there for the real tough ones. I shall eat a bit of crow for saying the things I have said about him. A shutout doesn't make him the new starter but he has half the shutouts Jimmy has now

Seemed as though Raf was feeling better when he got to the locker room and Pav's was an unknown thing.... Not sure, but I am guessing both won't play tomorrow night and hopefully at least one comes back by Monday. Just need them both ready come mid-April.

He was hobbling like crazy. Who was the one that said something about Raf getting hurt??? COme on....

Now, Raf..... I mean ffs. This is the kind of game that this stuff happens in.

Need more Pav update like to the second. Please come back

Pav being hurt would be a total buzzkill....

Fixed it for ya my friend.

Fixed it for ya my friend.

Drop 'em Danny... don't let that little BJ challenge you
