Lidstrom is actually a little annoyed tonight. Had some early words for Armstrong for shooting a puck late after a whistle on net. Then drove him into the goalie later, and took a penalty. (Of course I didn't think it was well deservered):)

Wings up 4-2 with a pair of goals by Hudler. Mursak and Kindl continue to impress with goals of their own. Kessel with a nice PP snipe and Bozak with goals for the Leafs.

Jeff Finger is awesome! I think this is the first time I've watched him play 10 minutes through the first two...:rolleyes:

I really think we are gonna reap the benefits of him playing so many minutes in all kinds of situations in Russia. He looks pretty sharp. Babcock already called out both his linemates by saying "Huds looks good, the other two need to get going..."

I know this is just preseason and all, but I wonder if Holland would consider trading Ericsson. Kindl is not going to get the necessary ice time on the big club, and it seems he's outgrown Grand Rapids.

Ericsson's value probably isn't going to get much higher unless he suddenly becomes a safe dependable defenseman in all three zones, and he's still big, young, and Swedish (a very popular trio right now).

I know, I'm jumping the gun... it's sometimes agonizing watching Detroit prospects get "eased" into the lineup.

I think there are a lot of folks slowly feeling this. Me included. I remember the talk of E taking over for Lidstrom in the future, but he should have shown way more flashes by now to fill those skates.

Babcock and Holland are really tipping their hands this preseason. It has been no secret that Kindl and Miller are playing their way onto the team right now.
