    Fight ends with on-ice seizure

    You must be joking. I hope you're joking. You've gotta be joking. If you think that without illegal hitting, and illegal fighting, the NHL will be comparable to women's hockey then you need a lobotomy. Are you being intentionally obtuse or just accidentally? If you believe this then you probably see no difference in quality between men's and women's basketball, or softball, or any other sport eh? The only thing that stops men's sport from being like women's is illegal fighting and illegal hitting? Staggeringly stupid.

    Mantha signed to ELC

    If Mantha saw time with the Wings before he was 20, I think Tomas Tatar would go on a killing spree. Meh, not impressed. I'll start talking notice when he starts scoring backward. Until then he's just another Franzen...soft, floating, floater!

    10/12 GDT: Flyers 2 at Red Wings 5

    We could trade him to a team that has no interest whatsoever in playing defense...like Edmonton. They'd get another defenseman (in name only) and all we'd ask for in return is Sam Gagner's missing teeth from the Kassian high stick. In the blink of an eye Edmonton would start winning their 6-5 debacles like last night, and we'd plant our Gagner teeth into the muddy banks of the Detroit River and, like a bean stalk, watch them grow and grow and grow. RIP Gagner's teeth. You will be missed. I DON'T WANNA WAIT...

    Luke Glendening?

    He looked pretty good on the PK, but he didn't get a ton of playing time. Too many power plays. I'm looking forward to seeing him more in the coming games though, the kid definitely has moxie.

    Everybody knows that Mike Babcock wants a grittier, tougher, team and Ken Holland simply won't give it to him. That's why he uses the hell out of the one gritty guy he's got.

    Again, I didn't see it. Is that what Tootoo told him?

    Lots of ambivalence about Bertuzzi on the boards these days. Prior to tonight's game, half of LGW wanted him off the team. Anybody willing to eat crow?

    Well he'll definitely pay for that next time we play.

    What happened with Newbury? I turned it to the Tigers game after the empty netter.

    Anybody else willing to admit that Dan Cleary has had a hell of a game tonight?

    Give it time, after leading the team in game winning goals, I think the Mule will be a little easier to stomach.

    Damn I wish the Tigers were on the West Coast tonight, I hate having to switch back and fourth between games. Anybody else think Weiss would look better with speedier wingers? Datsyuk is more deliberate and has better one on one moves, so slower wingers aren't a big deal for him. But it seems like Weiss is more dangerous on the fly. Just for kicks I'd like to see... Alfie-Dats-Franzen Zetterberg-Weiss-Abby No knock on Bert though, he looks good with Z and D.

    Calling it, Bertuzzi with another PP goal...and eventually the hat trick.

    Power play wrap around. Went in off a defender's stick.

    I was thinking the same thing, I watched St. Louis against Chicago the other day and was amazed at how well St. Louis passed. Tape to tape, every f*cking time.

    Don't do it! Word on the street is that she's a sucubus who will feed off your many essence and cause you to pitch like s*** until long after you two break up.

    Good PK work by Cleary on that one.

    10/12 GDT: Flyers 2 at Red Wings 5

    Yeah, he's out and Lashoff is in. Edit: You really should read the mlive article about it, Smith really makes himself look good while alternately denying he's played poorly and subtly throwing his teammates under the bus.

    Nyquist taking things in stride, with class

    It drives me crazy too, but because the opportunity was not there in the first four games doesn't mean it won't come. The Tatar situation is a little bit more frustrating than Nyquist because he COULD theoretically be playing every night. But in light of the roster and cap crunch, the fact that Nyquist hasn't played makes sense. You've got to assume that sooner, rather than later, someone will be waived or traded. The problem is, if you don't give guys like Sammy, Tootoo, and eventually Eaves some playing time, nobody is going to trade for them or pick them up off waivers and if any (or all) of them pass through without getting picked up then we still don't have the cap space to bring up Nyquist. For the time being these guys need to be showcased. Then, once they've shown they have value, or once some other team is so plagued by injuries that they have no choice but to claim a guy off waivers or trade for him, Nyquist's time will come.
