[redwingfan19 293]

that goal was no ones fault but leino with a weak turnover, oh well he will be benched for the rest of the game now

[brett 1,029]

you know ovie is off when f***in lebda stops him

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Ericsson and Lebda are like Ben and J-Lo out there.

No chemistry whatsoever.

Does anyone have chemistry with Lebda? Hell, Lebda doesn't have chemistry with Lebda.

[8 Legged RedWing 367]

i swear... no ot please

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Every team has it's whippin' boy.

Whipping boy? He sucks, plain and simple. He turned the puck over and didnt pressure Green allowing him to make an easy pass to Gordon who was just jumping off the bench.

[Marty Barry 230]

Jose!

[jmad 18]

when's the last time Flip scored?

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

These guys can just never, ever, ever get that ONE goal they need to put a game away. It drives me nuts.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

Lilja did.

Then again, Lilja is the kind of man who has chemistry with everyone.

[Datsyerberger 279]

Ugh, I hate playing against contract year Theodore.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

when's the last time Flip scored?

SCF, game 2.

[Shaman 713]

Lilja did.

Then again, Lilja is the kind of man who has chemistry with everyone.

Lilja would be a dream to have back with big E as his partner.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Lilja did.

Then again, Lilja is the kind of man who has chemistry with everyone.

Too bad he can't seem to get rid of the headaches.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

when's the last time Flip scored?

8 games ago against Anaheim.

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

Ericsson and Lebda are like Ben and J-Lo out there.

No chemistry whatsoever.

Yes, but in all fairness to Ericsson, who could possibly mesh with an AHLer like Lebda?

[brett 1,029]

i thought leino was in only if we go to a shootout not to actually play mins

[russianswede919293 95]

I have supported him, but this game has me losing it, Leino has done nothing right in a game where the team is playing very well.

He is easily being knocked off the puck, he falls like the water of the niagara river every time he is touched and he is weak in the corner.

He had a weak turn over when forced off the puck and then did not pressure Green at all.

Leino, I am losing faith...

[Branton87 77]

Why is Leino playing? I wonder what kind of crack Babcock was smoking when he made that decision. Haha

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Lilja would be a dream to have back with big E as his partner.

yeah. I don't know how well they'd actually work together, but on paper it looks pretty awesome. That's as big and physical blueline as the Wings have had in a while.

[Marty Barry 230]

So what is it that our coaching and management (who'm I 've never doubted), see in him. Why does he stay on the roster?

took you this long?

[russianswede919293 95]

Lilja did.

Then again, Lilja is the kind of man who has chemistry with everyone.

This is slightly inappropriate given his history...but if you get the reference...

That's because he forces all to have chemistry with him.

There was some quote about babcock regarding Leino where talks about patience with players. I think they're just trying to be patient and hope he develops at this level.

[commadore183 103]

31-14 Wings over the Caps, SOG-wise. As usual, the score doesn't reflect that.

1-1 after the 2nd Period. Hope the Wings can, at least, get a point out of this. Got to get every point available if they want to make the playoffs.

[russianswede919293 95]

took you this long?

Sadly yes it did.

I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt...

Now I am just giving him the doubt...

I hope he can turn it around but he looks lost out there.
