How could they plan for ericsson to rest 2 games and have a date/game set for him to return to? I don't get it.. play one player until he f***s up then replace him til the guy who replaced him f***s up etc

Ericsson or Lebda....Both are pretty brutal but a 6th D isnt suppose to be great... but lebda can have that excellent speed through the neutral zone while ericsson is just slow... but to be honest, what does ericsson have that lebda doesnt? ericsson doesnt use his size so that argument isnt good....

Potential.

Ericsson is still a rookie and is going to keep developing. We already know what Lebda brings.

Ericsson should play 25mins in the minors but he have to go through waivers i think and that wouldnt work.. gah... he needs to get back confidence and his game overall.

Every time this debate comes up I end up thinking Ericsson needs to be with the Griffins, but wait! He would have to go through waivers. <_<

When I read the title I assumed that Ericsson would be replacing Lilja!

But I guess he can replace Lebda for a game to see if he can get his game together. But I would much rather wait for Ericsson to play against the Wild as compared to the Flames.

I almost feel like the year is a wash for Big E... I think he lost his confidence early, and just went downhill from there. It's hard for him to make ground now, but I feel like if he gets to spend the year with Lils as his partner (next season) he could improve mightily. I just wonder if his confidence is shot for this season.

This topic is shocking to me. Can't believe people on this board are picking Lebda over Erickson. That said, I'll admit I haven't been able to watch much Wings hockey on TV this year, so the only image I have of Erickson is from last year, when I was fairly impressed. Is he pushing too much on Offense, is his positioning off, just can't visualize how he could be worse then Lebda!

Good news on Bert, but why Ericsson back for Lebda? He's been good.

Good God, I can't believe I just said that.

But it's true and you're right. I've had the same reaction the last few games. This is NOT the time to bring Ericsson back. But it's great news about Big Bert. Now, if he, Cleary and Homer get their beehinds in front of any and all future goalies...and we continue to crash the net, methinks our chances look even better than ever. :D

We've only watched E play with Lebda not Lilja. Maybe with Lilja E will look just as good or better then Lebda has.

I tihnk the not allowing doche bags round the net factor is partially why E is in against the flames. And I also think he handles the physicallity of a team like Calgary better then Lebda does.

having watched most of this years games, i think the lebda over ericsson opinion is valid right now. ericsson has had a tough year for sure. as others have said it could very well just be a confidence issue. additionally, lebda has played better the last couple weeks which has his stock higher than any other time this year i think.

The Big Epocalypse is in for Lebda? Babcock are you mad?!!!!!!!!! Especially it being against the Flames. Can't he wait a little while longer til we play a s*** team?

This will work fine, I think. After all, Lebda only looks better because Lilja is there to cover up his screw ups. The same will go for Ericsson. I think he'll benefit hugely from not only coming back from a break but playing with Lilja as well. God I'm glad Lilja is back.
