Yawn.

Babcock is splitting up Datsyuk and Zetterberg in Anaheim to get a better on-ice matchup. Together on the road, they will see a healthy dose of Pahlsson, Niedermeyer (R), and Moen - perhaps the best defensive "shutdown" line in all of hockey (just ask the sedin twins or Gaborik and Dimetria). Watch for the Red Wing's to re-pair the two Euro's on Sunday when they get the last change...

This has been an interesting series to say the least. I agree that Bertuzzi is a jerk for what he did to Moore. I've heard him say that he shouldn't have to pay for that mistake for the rest of his life. On the contrary, he should carry that burden with him as long as he plays. Accountability! If I could have been at that ice rink on Tuesday, I would have found a way down to that Duck bench and beat the crap out of Pronger myself. He is such a whiner. If the guy would actually pay attention it would cost him less! I don't mind a good solid legal check but elbows up come on man. Don't pretend you didn't know what you were doing. It's too obvious by your own admission that you can't stand Detroit and would rather take a Red Wing player out of the game then play a legal game of hockey. And to think I was so concerned for his safety when he got hit in the chest with a puck. Of course I am a good fan and don't want to see any player hurt, much less a career ended all because someone couldn't control his bad sportsmanship.

as a wings fan i think bertuzzi ****

Oh come on..........How many other times has someone done something like that in sports....not the first time............as a wing nut I think he's just rusty......2 and a half years off would make us all a bit rusty.....................but....indeed we do need to split the stars up, oh we did, 5-0, then we did, kinda, and 5-3................I think what we really need, is Hudler back there for one more go at it.............Maybe let Ozzie play one.........

bertuzzi is a good player, he plays the same way pronger does just at another position, and the hit on moore, if moore would have turned and fought u wouldn't have said crap about it, but watch the tape bertuzzi steps on moores stick, and falls into him it was nothing deliberate about falling on top of him... and hank and datsyuk thats just something that needed to be done to keep threats on the ice when the pahlson line isn't out there.... and ozzie should not play one i disagree with him and hasek still being on the red wings....
