haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 This quote was taken from the Colorado game earlier this season when Lidstrom got cheap shotted by Laperriere and Downey came after Lappy: "It's great to see," Zetterberg said. "I think all of us got a little extra energy when he did that and it was a great fight. It changed the momentum back to our side. It doesn't happen that often, but now we've had four fights this year (Drake has the other three). It's good, it belongs in the game. The fans like it and we like it, too." I'm glad someone remembers the players talking about that. The Downey love here got a little out of hand last season, but that was probably because we've been so desperate for any enforcer. Still, I'm amazed now that we've won a Cup so many people are back to the "let our powerplay be our enforce" mentality. It was only a couple of seasons ago we had to sit and watch players cheapshot and injure the Wings, and no one did a thing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not me I said in another thread that Downey is the perfect enforcer for this team!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 well, I think the perfect enforcer would be Bob Probert circa 1988, but Downey is better than no one. Probert in this day and age would be amazing. Cristobal Huet, Manny Legace, Pascal Leclaire and Dan Ellis would have to watch out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I argued that exact same point in another thread and the mods closed it down. I still want to see Downey AND McCarty playin, so they can share the workload. Drake helped out last year. Who is gonna help now?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
