9/22 Exhibition GDT: Red Wings 4 at Flyers 3 (SO)

I was at the game, from what I saw:

Lidstrom is still a beast, wouldn't be surprised if he wins the Norris again.

Filpula has dramatically stepped his game up.

Pearce was a God during the shootout.

Ericsson does not deserve a roster spot.

You guys just officially got the Ericsson-loathing blood flowing again. I am so flabbergasted by his contract, especially after his horrendous play against San Jose. If he doesn't have a 180 degree turn around, we officially have one of the highest paid, most useless 7th defenseman in the league. Chris Chelios would probably bring similar skills to the table and we could pay him 600k.

There's my first Ericsson rant for the season...
