9/25 Pre-season GDT: Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Good stuff Flipper!

[Esquire 324]

LOL @ #52

[puckloo39 5,686]

Turco sure likes to play that puck. Odd to see him in a Hawks uniform.

Odder still to see him beating the Wings (lite). In his ugly, ugly red pads.

Ozzie looks good out there!

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Ericson was terrible last night, and once again tonight... I would hope at this state he isn't going to make the team.

[Guest Crymson]

LOL @ #52

He's really playing himself off the roster. In his defense in this case, though, that was a weak call.

bull s*** call. preseason refs too?

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Serioously Ericsson, go away.

If it wasn't for his size, he would've been ditched by now.

No wonder he was pick 291.

Kindl will win his spot this year, no doubt.

Ericsson just flat out sucks. He honestly looks like those kids in pee wee hockey that are afraid to have to puck on their stick so as soon as they get it they just do something stupid.

[Vladifan 680]

I like the way our kids are playing. They're obviously unorganized and not always playing like a team, but they're choosing to stay loose. It's like, "OK, that didn't work so well, so what the hell, let's try this". They really don't seem to be in awe of the Hawks. And it ain't like the Hawks are playing all that smoothly either. Chances are they won't win this puppy but it's been fun to watch. SO far.

[LidsFan 68]

Ericsson doesn't deserve to play in the big club this season, give his spot to janik, there would be no need to panic if that was the case.

Ericsson scares me every time he is on the ice. He just doesn't seem to have the Hockey sense it takes to be a defenseman.

I am all for Janik to be our 6th defenseman, he is solid and responsible.

I have nothing against Ericsson but I am very worried about how he will perform this season.

[Guest Heaten]

Not sure why people are pissed at Ericsson for that phantom call... should be taking your anger out on the refs. Also, Ericsson is playing PK and up against Hossa and Toews 5-on-5. Give the guy some slack.

[brett 1,029]

lol i was just coming on here to talk s*** about ericsson.

i really havent seen a good play from him yet, i seen him over skate the puck f*** up a multiple passes and turn oversss, if he used his size i might like him but right now i like kindl and smith more then him.

Janik hasn't been THAT good. And he's not playing against Hawks #1 line either.

How has Osgood looked tonight

[redwingfan19 293]

How has Osgood looked tonight

looking like the osgood of old

[VanDer 58]

How has Osgood looked tonight

Quite impressive

[puckloo39 5,686]

How has Osgood looked tonight

good, esp. considering his team mates tonight are kids, pretty much. He's been there when needed.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

How has Osgood looked tonight

Pretty good. First goal was stoppable, but the second was off a 4 on 2. He has made some quality saves but has also looked like he can't find his balance, either.

Much better than what we saw 6 months ago.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

This is good to hear. DOesn't Chicago have most of their guns in the lineup? I watched for all of 5 seconds and saw both Kane and Hossa.

[puckloo39 5,686]

augh... we need a goal. No sense in letting Turco get used to winning against us.

[redwingfan19 293]

so close owens

[LidsFan 68]

Janik hasn't been THAT good. And he's not playing against Hawks #1 line either.

I would still take him over Ericsson, because he thinks defense first and offense second.It's not that I have a dislike for Ericsson but it just doesn't seem that defense is his calling. I think that he would be better as a forward because he seems to think offense first and defense second.
