Ok well im done explaining and supporting the decisions of professional general managers to a bunch of retards...an enforcer wouldn't have touched the ice in that playoff series and even "if" one had gone after Pronger, would it have changed the fact that Holmstrom got injured...No, so you people are just like the fans who want revenge all the time and don't care about the scoreboard at the end of the game

I never said he was against them, I said that in Detroit, Babcock doesn't need one nor is there room for one, and if he wanted one Im sure he would have one by now Ok, but I never said Babcock wasn't for enforcers so you don't make sense either It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that Detroit is no longer a "goon" hockey team, or even a physical hockey team for that matter, all you have to do is watch any NHL game these days to know that even putting an enforcer on the ice is a liability (to take a penalty, make a bad play, get matched up against an opposing 1st line), Detroit simply doesn't play that game. Im not claiming to know any of Babcocks personal strategies, but as a long time player and fan it's obivous how Babcock runs his team...Disciplined and skilled, name one disciplined and skilled enforcer out there that wouldn't be a liability or complete waste of money and space on the wings??? I'm sure people agree and disagree but this is the truth and us "old school" hockey fans just need to accept it... ~R.I.P. THE LEGEND OF KOCUR AND PROBERT~

Are we in Anaheim??????? f*** NO!! Two way different teams so that makes no sense.

Because it's not the 1990 Red Wings, it's not how they play hockey and not how babcock wants them to. They will bank on their powerplays from idiots giving cheapshots, thats how and why they're such a great disciplined hockey team, thats all there is to it. Though I love hockey fights and physical play, there is no reason to set yourself up for disappointment when Detroit "will not" sign an enforcer, it's not necessary, they sit talented players as it is. Why add a BENDER to the mix to fill cap space and more importantly bench space?

We should just sign agalloch to a 1 year deal and let his anger out on the actual opponents, not the harmless forum surfers.LOLl!!!!!!

Yeah Agalloch, he's the sheriff around here, patrolling all forums for people who don't spend their life on the red wings fan page, look out he might get pissed..ohh man!!!

Seeing how they only have to pay the guy 2/3 of his contract, I don't mind this deal at all. He's not a real impact player but he plays his role very well and will give a good effort night in and out when called upon, he adds the grit the wings need and just may give that 4th line the little spark that has made previous Detroit "Grind Lines" so effective in the past.

He started it LOL!!

If sammy goes I'd rather have them trade him for a draft pick and pick up a cheaper vet like Dallas Drake, who got released and is way better and cheaper than Lapointe.

Ok dumbass, so he is just going to turn on a switch next year and do something because he's getting paid more, I highly doubt it, hes not that good buddy..... I say we send him to Columbus for a sack of used pucks so we dont have to spend however much he is making next year on the cap....... he can play with Anders Eriksson, the last wings D sensation who sucked balls

For those people out there who think we should go with who we have right now are crazy, if they make Quincey and Kindl their 6th and 7th D our top 5 are going to have to be a hell of a lot better than... Lilja= Do I even need to say anything?????? Kronwall= Unproven and has done absolutely nothing in a wing wheel, while being overpaid!! Lebda= speedy and skilled but very small for a NHL D and has a lot of learning still to do Chelios= still a solid D but is 100 years old and rarely contributes offensively Lidstrom= if schneider and markov leave and they dont sign a top 4 D, he'll probably log close to 30 min a game again at the age of 37, but is still the man!! Besides Nick, there no way in hell they will compete next year with these defenseman, my personal choice would be a guy like Rafalski, but thats just my opinion, anybody agree?????

What is wrong with you?? Do u really think your a pirate?? Its really annoying!!!

I SIMPLY DISPISE THJE IDEA OF PUTTING ANOTHER HOCKEY TEAM IN TEXAS!!!

Our D is definately not "so good" that they don't have to worry about Kronwall, but he has definately not been what many thought he would be this season. His loss is a minor blow at worst, I am fully confident enough in Lebda to step up and play some good hockey for the Wings throughout the playoffs, lets just hope those extra minutes aren't given to Lilja though!

Before the start of this season one of my buddies tried telling me that St.Louis was going to have a better record than Detroit this year due to lack of off-season moves and a fossil for a goalie, I shook my head, laughed, and said "ok man"
