Shouldn't have been tossed. Shouldn't be suspended. Was tossed. Will be suspended. Fined his and Lidstrom's salary, suspended for the rest of the regular season, playoffs, indefinitely until he either retires or plays for the Pens. I kid.... 12 games.

Your troll is showing.

Was really hoping someone had a video montage of tonight's bulls*** YouTubed already, or at the very least the "defensive gem" according to VS. that occurred on the Holmstrom breakaway. Alas, we will have to make due with this:

Pathetic, inconsistent, motherfu.... Wings spend half the game getting hooked, tripped, held, slashed, but its all good. TOUCH a Blackhawk in the offensive zone and you'll be lucky to get off with two minutes. This league is a joke. Plain and simple. God forbid the league's flavor of the week Hawks miss the playoffs.

"Edzo" has a thing for Toews, Pierre has a thing for "Edzo", thus Pierre loves Toews. I'm sick of powerplays. Both ways. The Wings need to dig in and end this team's season already. I don't agree with Bert being thrown out, fluky hit, more about the opponent being low than him being high. First goal against the Wings made me sick, lazy/stupid hockey, of which we are getting a little too accustom. Anyways, GO WINGS!

Horrible powerplay, all night. But really, that was as blatant and obvious of a dive I've ever seen a zebra bite on, and I've see Crosby play.

Ericsson on an Olympic blueline? Yuck. I don't even want him on our blueline. A lot would have to happen in the next 3 years.

Great job on the last two goals by Howard..... Really thought he was turning the corner, then goal in the last minute of period 1 (not his fault), goal in the last two minutes of period 2 (not his fault, kill Ericsson), a bad rebound for goal number three (his fault) and a TERRIBLE miss on the GWG... Frustrating night to be certain, they started so well.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2011/02/red_wings_get_in_quick_but_bri.html So much for that, Babs. Wow, it was "brisk" and they skated with "tempo", that'll teach them... I understand not beating them to death, but 30 minutes and some sprints?

Finally! I've been sick of the "we didn't start on time, but got better. just no puck luck. keep doing what you're doing and eventually...." bull Babcock has been saying for the last two seasons. I think everyone has gotten way too comfortable with themselves. They went from being far and away the hardest working team in the league, winning a cup doing so, to slowly becoming lazy floaters because they thought they could make it up in the offensive end. The whole team has played without urgency and its disgusting. But Howard hasn't been great either...

haha surprisingly, I feel world's better now, thank you.

LAZY. Difference between this team and '07-'09, this team looks LAZY. PP is pathetic, not using the man advantage to pass to open players because we would rather try to thread a pass through the opposition. Don't want to skate. Franzen looks like a world beater just long enough to pad his stats and then disappears for weeks. LAZY. And STUPID. I'm looking at you Hudler, Bertuzzi, Salei, and ERICSSON. /rant

So then.... you sue the team that you couldn't advance in for... money? No one else thinks that's kind of funny?? In all seriousness, as far as I'm concerned the only difference between me calling my friend a Mick or them calling me a Dago or *** and antisemitism is there is a name for it. Everyone is being a little over-sensitive. Unless there is a LOT more to this story then the article describes, this is a joke. We have all been called much worse. As others have already said, skin is going to have to be a lot thicker to make it. We've all heard what guys like Avery, Maltby, Carcillo, etc. are capable of saying, we don't need a lawsuit every week. Also, it didn't seem to be a problem until he left, just like it didn't seem like pictures of Favre's business were an issue until years after he left the Jets. Classic case of people cashing in. EDIT: I'm definitely not saying the coach is without fault, you definitely need to watch what you're saying at a professional level and that is not going to fly. But a lawsuit, really?

Just got off work, good to see the Wings even managed to score first on a fluke shot and still played like %#&* enough to let Kopecky walk all over them. Oh, and Isles claim Nabokov just for giggles (I'm sure he'll be happy about that). God I hate Chicago, wish the Wings could stop playing like soft crap.

This guy really doesn't know when to quit. Is he hurting for cash or does he really kid himself enough to think his 3rd comeback will work? There has to be some other motive besides the love of the game.

Good for Howard, he can let in 3 or 4 softies and know that his team can score enough to at least give the other guy the loss.

Watching our shooters' weak shootout attempts makes my blood boil. Now I suppose we'll never hear the end of the Money on the Board bulls***

God damnit Ericsson! Could you be more blatant about it?

WTF? Was that Hudler on... a forecheck?!

God, Filppula is in the zone tonight. Just dogging the puck, I love it.

Filppula is playing out of his mind, be nice if he could get some help.

Weak s***...

Great pass, quick thinking from Filpulla

Great shift by the penalty killers.

MILLER!
