Fair Justice

While having him (downey) on the team is nice when he is fighting, he really didn't stop anything... Lids is still out with a sprained MCL and Ian is still around to deliever another breath taking hit...

I love fights, they are good on the eyes (at least for me) Having him or anyone else like him on the team will not stop an injury from happening they will only be an after the fact "punishment"

I am glad he did it, but Downey won't stop people from hurting our guys normally they already would do that anyways.

But i love fights so yay!

Deterrent is the word Zion is looking for.

I wish it really did deter the injuries instead of just as payback against those which more than likely they are more than ready for.

This is a good move for the playoff run. We need somebody who can play physical. Now trade Kopecky, ect for a D-man or Fedorov....Try to get Hossa.

I freaking LOVE Downey. I seriously want this guy locked up as a Wing for a long, long time.

I had no idea that he called Flip out to change with him so he can get out on the ice and go at Ian again. HAHA if that's not great I don't know what is. They were talking about it all morning on WDFN/WXYT today. It was great! I can just see Aaron demanding Flip to switch up with him. No wonder why he was out there with Hank. I was so confused, but now I know!

Got any quotes from that

Ask and you shall recieve!

Per Detroit News.

The issue was Downey jumping over the boards to replace Valtteri Filppula and going after Laperriere again moments after the Wings won the opening faceoff of the third period.

"He wasn't out there, he just got out there," Babcock said. "I heard (Downey) banging on the boards and calling Fil over. That's just the way it goes. Sometimes 'team' things happen."

Downey is cool. I hope they re-sign him to an extension. It's nice that the Wings have a fighter again.

I think he needs a theme song when he gets in a fight. How about "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth. When I hear that song I think of Downey. I don't have a link to the song. Maybe some else can can post it from youtube.
