Red Wings Addict

Sounds like Mike Smith is going to get a shutout.

Gotta give credit to the Coyotes. They're getting in lanes pretty well. Idiot penalty by Stuart. Ugh.

Sad power play. Sad sad. Looks like Mike Smith will get a shutout.

Are we blaming Ericsson for that one?

Come on Stuart. WTF was that?

Auger... Ewww...

I'd like a combination of Moen and Ruutu among those four. What are the chances of getting Moen?

How likely is it that Detroit makes any kind of deal with Carolina? Don't Ilitch and Karmanos still hate each other?

GMR had a great quote for that. I forget where it's from. Something like, "You've disappointed me, son..." Or something to that effect.

Can't wait for a Hawks fan to come on here and say, "If Datsyuk did what Kane did you wouldn't complain..."

There's a lot more subjects than that. But your avatar is making me quite irrational right now. I can just feel the rage. RRR... Menacing grill...

Good play last night to set up the Homer goal. That was all Mursak's speed and awareness, imo. Hopefully one of many to come!

Some people criticized Brendan Smith because apparently he had similar fights with teammates during practice while at Wisconsin. It's supposedly part of the reason he got healthy scratched and benched at times.

The most important thing to me about last night's game was seeing Conks get a win; especially with the Wings not having any energy on the 2nd end of a back to back.

Tied his career high (40 points) last night.

Perhaps. But let's cut right to chase; the overall bottom line is that this isn't the right place to ask that question. Ericsson is probably the top Hwipping boy on Wings forums all across the world. When it comes to Hwipping boys, any Wings forum in general is a bad place for a fair evaluation because they're great outlets for fans to unleash their irrational thoughts and behaviors. Most people have already made up their minds about Ericsson and they're not going to change, myself included. Honestly, if you want a serious and fair answer to that question, maybe you can ask the best hockey coach you know who is also a dedicated Wings fan.

So now it's T-minus 60 minutes and counting?

Funny Stars fan in background.

You and I already talked about this. We're getting his brother in a few years, who PK thinks will be better than him. A young player with maturity issues still has time to grow. Is PK gregarious? Absolutely. Is it too much at times? Of course. But I don't think he's such a head case that the Wings wouldn't even think about acquiring him if he were available.

Big ti-Where?

"He’s the best two-way player in hockey, bar none," Babcock said. "That’s because of his commitment without the puck and his faceoffs and his strength and his battle level and all the intangible things he has beside his skill set and his vision. "Those things are God-gifted, the other stuff he’s earned."

700 points in 706 games. Not bad.

What about the Kings? Still California. I'm sure the wife might consider a move as long as it's still California.
