This is why we NEED to get an Enforcer at the deadline. IF anything the hit should have fired us up.

God, enough with this ******* enforcer bulls***. Professional athletes should not need the athletic equivalent of Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse to get fired up to play. If they do, we have bigger problems than we thought.

TERRIBLE period by the Wings. What the hell is it going to take for Babcock to GIVE PAVS A LINEMATE?>!?!? IT is really making me furious! Our best forward is unable to do anything, game in and game out, on a freakin line with Cleary, but yet Babcock STILL uses that line. By the end of this game, Pavs better have a good linemate because I am sick of it. This team will go NOWHERE unless Pavs is able to get going and that is only going to happen with a good linemate.

Tell that to every GM in the league over the last 40 years who's dressed an enforcer, including your boy Kenny Holland, who's dressed Downey and May in the past.

My boy? I wasn't aware we were related, or otherwise personally acquainted. I'll have to get on him for not giving me season tickets.

Doesn't help your case when Holmstrom has been abused in front of the net his entire career, enforcer in the lineup or not.

Hooray for a worthless argument about enforcers...AGAIN. Even when the team goes after Stewart for the hit.

Awful, awful period.

Garbage PP, and our two leaders, Datsyuk and Zetterberg, might as well have been replaced by Helm and Emmerton on that PP.

And lastly, Jonathan Ericsson could quite possibly be the worst player in the NHL.

Hell, this was way worse than when Laperriere hit Lidstrom, yet Downey stepped in there and beat his ass. That sparked the team and helped us get out of our losing streak.

This was a cheap ass hit if I ever saw one, and so far I saw nothing from the Wings to fire them up. It's early in the game and there hasn't been much 5 on 5 since the hit, so I'll hold off until I see how our tougher players respond the rest of the way.

Who says it's worthless? You and a few other select posters?

Just stating facts there.

Hard to beat someone's ass when they aren't going to be on the ice for the rest of the game.

Don't play stupid. You know every discussion about "sparking the team" and "enforcers" and "beating people up" and "powerplay is our enforcer" and "talentless goon" and "every GM in the league" ends up the same way. The fact it always becomes a big pro/anti-enforcer circle jerk is what makes it worthless.

Ericsson needs to stop taking penalties.

I couldn't see the penalty because my stream froze, but I'm guessing it was when he knocked that guy on his ass?

He does need to cut down on penalties, but there I'm kind of okay with it. He needs to make guys pay around the net, and honestly Homer gets hits as bad or worse every game and it doesn't get called.

What's wrong with using Jackman as an example?

Please no.

This I can agree with. It is, however, getting old seeing him in the box more than on the ice.

Based on that definition, every argument on LGW about anything is stupid, since there's always going to be disagreements and no consensus.

Hence the term, "argument".

i was just coming on here to say the same thing. it kills me too cause i really like Cleary but clearly he should be on a third line and excel there.

pavs, cleary, and holmstrom is the worst pp set up i have ever seen.

also really shows how much you miss kronwall on the pp when he left the game. stuart and kindl were brutal attempting to bring the puck up.

overall the first 10 minutes was good, the pp was horrendous.

3rd and 4th lines look good. lotsa energy there.

Uh huh... that's because HE HAD A CHANCE TO. Stewart is no longer on the ice. Perhaps you'd like someone to go looking for him in the dressing room.

Oh, right. I forgot that EVERY TEAM wins every game in which one of their players is the victim of a dirty hit.
