Standing around and letting him mess up is a big upgrade for Ericsson from his recent play.

Thanks

Dude, Ericsson looked bad once tonight? Stuart was terrible on at least 2 of the goals, arguably 3. If one guy is s***ting the bed the pairing looks bad. I think you can give E a break here. Edit: Seriously, E's had his fair share of garbage games this year. Let's not lump this one on him too.

I can't say I agree with his debating tactic, but this would've been more effective:

Stuart for Kindl, Janik or Meech is hardly an upgrade.

Professional sports isn't a pillow fight. Do your job or enjoy the free bus ride out of town. It's that simple. Edit: forgot to include the world "sports". lol

To be honest, the only explanation is that his job evaluation isn't performance based.

This explanation seems as good as any. Maybe we need a year where the Wings play like s*** and get a top 10 draft pick. Hell, let's just throw the towel in and shoot for the moon. The top 3 picks this year will all be real good.

It must feel chilly down there right now.

This. The only way I can describe his play tonight is: Brutal.

Leino was a free agent pick up from Europe. And we got another player and a 5th round pick for him? Sweet. Win-win. That's a 5th round pick for absolutely nothing. Time to change my signature.

Wow. His poor mother and father. My best wishes go out to the Burke family.

lol he's been injury prone since the AHL.

Agreed. The look on his face in that picture is best described as "you gonna get raped"

The funny thing is he actually played an excellent game against the Ducks. 5 of 6 of the Wings d-men were -1 or -2.

I think it'd be great if he came cheap. It all depends on where the Wings stand at the deadline. If the playoffs look slim they might as well sell a few guys who'll be going anyway-- Williams and Lebda, for example. If we're a playoff team pick Kozlov up.

I do that too sometimes. I agree-- not a good idea.

lol

That's a ton to give up for a rental. Now if they re-sign him... then I agree with you 100%.

Don't be so sensitive.

I'm thinking he had a good talk with Holland in the press box.

He's not exactly the bubbly happy go lucky type. Rivalred is bitter and cynical if anything.

I agree on Bergfors being underrated. He's put up very good rookie numbers for the situation he's in. But then again he was the centre-piece of this trade, not Oduya as some people seem to think.
