2/11 GDT: Sharks 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

[Firehawk 305]

You guys shouldn't be so tough on Krupp.... I mean Ericsson.

After all, he's just a rookie.

I miss Fischer.

[Carman 387]

There is a difference of making a couple mistakes in the beginning of the season, and then keep making them almost 3/4 the way in.

I doubt you'll see many Ericsson supporters make excuses for him now.

Yeah he f***ed up but why is that pairing still together? After all the s***ty games and minuses, how could the coaching staff look at that pair and think, "Yeah it's still good."?

[gcom007 1,465]

Why do I feel like the Red Wings are trying to make me hate them?

[GMRwings1983 8,804]

I miss Fischer.

So do I.

He was the one big D-man that worked out for us.

Kuznetsov, Krupp, Golubovsky, Hatcher all didn't. Hope Ericsson doesnt' join that group.

How does Ericsson play so well last year and this year so awful? I don't understand it.

[Guest mindfly]

Why cant KEN HOLLAND understand that Janik is better defensively than ericsson, swift places for them and then remove lebda and add lilja

Bottom pair

Janik-Lilja

[Guest Lidstromboli]

E with rafalski now

[Jedi 1,865]

Big E paired with Raf now.

Hmmm...

[Carman 387]

By the way, why is every blaming Babcock for Ericsson not playing his position properly? He's an NHL player, he's a big boy he shouldn't need excuses. We have a lot of injuries, the pairings aren't going to be perfect.

Now he has Ericsson/Rafalski. You'll probably start blaming Babcock for that now too. He just doesn't have many options.

[titanium2 867]

Ugh... WHY CAN'T THEY EVER WIN A FACEOFF?!?!?!!? BAAHHH!!!!!

[SliderJeff 11]

Takeaways from period 1:

Joe Thornton is a dirty *** douchebag

The Wings appear to have come to play tonight

Big E continues to astound in his inability to play positional D

Nice to see Franzen score

Scott Nichol is a ***** and I'd like to see him and Thornton run through the glass

Darren Helm makes me smile night after night

Jimmy Howard looked pretty good

Let's hope that we turn up the pressure and make the Fishies fold like origami in the second.

[Lazerbeam 13]

Who here would trade Ericsson for K.Quincy right now? I would!

[syntax 359]

I miss Fischer.

I miss Vladdy.

[Guest mindfly]

GET #52 OFF THE ICE NOW

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Man, no luck there

[Carman 387]

Franzen is playing the way everyone on this team should be.

Nabokov is solid tonight.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

I hate Nabakov, and think it's sad the Mule looks like our best player.

[puckbags 863]

I'm at the point where we could put a bunch of plumbers on defence. I don't care if they can't make a pass for 5 feet. As long as they can cover people and get the damn puck out!

[Guest Lidstromboli]

stop sucking, defense

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Howies playing fine, but my god. Ericsson cant play anymore? Like what happened? Dont give me he's a rookie, he looks like a Div2 hockey player out there.

[syntax 359]

Nice save Jimmy.

Stuart now paired with Lids.

Sharks look way better than us this period. The way this game is going that means we should have the lead by the periods end though.

[Lazerbeam 13]

My God! look how many high % scoring chances the Sharks get EVERYTIME Ericsson is on the ice!

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

Lilja>>>>Ericsson He couldn't get better soon enough thank god his career isn't in jeopardy anymore. I hope for a Lilja Tollefsson pairing or maybe Janik. f*** these 2 dips***s Ericsson and Lebda!!
