With as well as Ritola has been playing and as sporadic as Abdelkader and Leino's play has been I think this sends a bad message... half-ass it and we'll reward you... work your butt off and we won't. GENIOUS!

I guess the good news is that Helm and Ericsson are supposed to be back tonight (fingers crossed).

Well, if Leino plays for the Wings like he has been down here for the last while, he'll get his ass handed to him. Hope he comes back in one piece!

I like Abby but given his game lately I agree with malts4me...I don't think this is the right message. This tells me as a player that there is a pecking order that is not influenced by how I am playing but rather based on a predetermined right of passage....very disheartening i would think.

I agree, Mattias has been really solid, as well as steady this season, so its a real shame its not based on your play, but how much they like you. Mattias has been a real joy to watch this year; made doing his scrapbook for the booster club really enjoyable.  He's a really great hockey player, and I think he'll get his chance soon if keeps playing the way he's been playing all year. If nothing else, it would be cool to see him considered for a Black Ace spot at the end of the year with Detroit. |

Personally I thought Ritola deserved a call up before Abby. Ritola has had a really solid season, has shown he can score and he's one of the best defensive forwards on the team. I just think considering where he has come from in terms of work ethic he should have got the nod.

IMNSHO I think the powers that be know what they are doing. They do have Lord Stanley's Cup. Lieno made an amazing goal and Abby played a very solid game!
