I think Detroit's going to lose this one by some absurd score. Like 6-0 or something.

Detroit's strategy of never shooting the puck will surely pay off.

You know, we talk a lot about Kyle Quincey, but I'd like to submit an alternative proposition:

Jonathan Ericsson sucks and is the worst defenseman on this team, no question.

Smith should come in for Ericsson next game. Playing a slow moron on the first pairing vs. Tampa is insane.

Also Ericsson is a Bad Defenseman


Not Quincey Bad but Real Bad

You're forgetting that E plays on the first line, though, making him the worse defenseman.

The BABCOCK FACTOR, if you will.

Glendening's line is about the only good thing happening right now.

We didn't get swept in this series so I am satisfied.

Secondary Goal: Don't get shut out

I'd like to see Nyquist or Tatar get A SINGLE POINT between them because they cannot seem to do anything in the playoffs.

Sit Quincey and Ericsson.

Call up Ouellet and play Smith.

If the Wings lose this one by 2 or fewer goals I'm gonna be mad cause the refs basically gifted the Bolts two.

no worries there then cuz Detroit ain't scoring today

I am worried that Babcock is going to start Howard in game 3. That is not a good move.

I don't think this happens unless Mrazek completely loses his poo poo in the 3rd. Babcock credited Mrazek for Game 1, and Detroit will still fly out of Tampa with the series tied regardless of how poorly they're going to lose today (6-0).

If Detroit bombs Game 3, we definitely see Howard.


edit:

if Babcock starts Howard next game because of this, then he can gently caress off to Toronto or wherever else and I'll get an avatar of Kyle Quincey and his piercing, sad eyes.

Agreed.

Is it possible that Ericsson has never won a battle? I can't remember him ever winning a footrace or a fight for the puck.
