Too bad Uncle Todd wasn't here tonight to stand up to Emelin. What a scum bag player.
The one night Ott isn't in the lineup too. I'm surprised that E or Abby didn't step in.

E probably didn't because we were already down one defender and we played last night. Abdelkader I don't know, probably should have (though that just means taking Emelin off for five
). I'm sure they'll remember it next time we meet.

I'll be surprised if he isn't out months. Looked horrible.
Shame too because I thought he was playing his best game so far.

Nothing was suspension worthy or even penalty worthy sadly. Didn't like the plays though.
It's amazing what he did in that game while avoiding obvious or conventional penalties. For example, he saw Bertuzzi was in a vulnerable spot and he took advantage of it. So obvious. But not penalty worthy. Maybe Emelin was having a bad day or something but he was out for blood.
It's pretty obvious that BOTH hits were dirty shots.
What has happened to the big bragging about "We're standing up for each other", that was inspired by Ott's addition to the Wings?
Once you throw that down you better back it up.
Instead we allow dirty hits on AA, Bert and Smith to go unanswered.
It will only get worse if you're a patsy.
Gordie knew what to do.
Where have Ott and Abby gone, even on the cheap shot to Larkin too.
If Ott the "sandpaper" addition isn't doing that what the hell is he doing?
(I know Ott was out this game but I'm talking back to AA's knee shot).
it was bertuzzis fault for going towards the boards the way he did
either take a hit and get yourself up against the boards or wait
it was dumb on his part, its too bad but it was his fault
Guess the officials were not familiar with the catch-all "Rule 75". That knee on Larkin showed intent, but the call was discretionary.
Bertuzzi approached the boards wrong that is his fault and his alone
it was shoulder on shoulder
now one can maybe argue emelin should not have hit him because it was a vulnerable spot but it wasnt illegal or dirty, bertuzzi should not have tried to lean back into him being that he was 3 ft from the boards, he should have gone up against the boards to absorb the hit
when you try and stop/brace and lean back into the player that far off the boards your dead

You're right that he could have prevented the injury or made it less traumatic but there's also no denying that Emelin recognized that he was vulnerable and tried to hurt him. That's what's upsetting. The guy is obviously trying to hurt people. Now I would never advocate trying to hurt people but the way to fix this is to run price. End Montreal's season and make sure Emelin and the entire Montreal coaching staff understands that it's his fault.

I wont advocate going after Price he done nothing, that said someone is going to hurt Emelin! and it is all his fault.

Like I said I wouldn't ever actually advocate doing it. That's not how the game should be played, and if you play that way then you're no better than him. But honestly Emelin has been doing this for a while and he's not going to stop unless there are real consequences for his actions. A slap on the wrist from the NHL won't do it.

Habs fan coming in peace.
Was definitely a 2 min for boarding at least i think. Could have been a 5 and i would not have complained too much. Was a very dangerous hit.
Usually Emelin is clearer that he was yesterday though. I don't know why but he looked meaner than usual yesterday.
Yea, Emelin looked like he a chip on his shoulder all game. Not sure if something happened in the Habs/Canes game and he just took it out on Detroit, or maybe carryover from our last game a couple weeks ago, which IIRC ended with a scrum.
As for the Bertuzzi hit, I don't think it was penalty worthy. Was it a dangerous push by Emelin? yes, but Bertuzzi didn't give himself any favours leaning back the way he did. Not with the puck right there. You know you're getting hit.
I'm more pissed that no Wings player did anything to Emelin than I am over the hit itself.
If its a questionable hit, not illegal but unnecessary than I advocate two things
-you deliver a clean and hard open ice hit
-you fight him and yuo dont stop until separated by the refs. nothing sent more of a message about the DRW then Mccarty on lemieux, no the wins, not the pretty goals or nice passes
so either deliver a clean hit or drop the gloves right away and pound him
Watching all of those plays at live speed I'd be hard pressed to call a penalty on any of them.
Doesn't make Emelin any less of a piece of **** though. He was clearly throwing a knee into Larkin and taking advantage of Bert's ackward situation

You dirty dog!
Someone, some day will hurt him, but it's a good bet that person won't be a Red Wing player. Frustrating that no one did anything to the guy considering the type of player he is and the likelihood that he was trying to injure our players.
