Lebda Sick
...and not in that "oh, that was a sick move" or anything. Via the Detroit News:
"He's sick. He came in today and he had a fever so obviously real precautious, try and look after that."--Head Coach, Mike Babcock
Head throbbing, Brett? Feeling nautious? Now you know how we've been feeling when you're out on the ice. Now, I would never wish an illness on any of my Detroit Red Wings, but the inconsistent (heavily favoring the "bad" end of the spectrum) play of Leba has me more than a little worried each time I see him take a shift.
The pairing of Lebda with Ericsson baffles me. Niether one of these defenseman seem to have the know-how or ability to cover for one another, which is terrible considering they both love to jump up into the play. Putting Ericsson with Lidstrom and Lebda/Meech with Stuart seems to make the most since. Kronwall and Rafalski make a nice pair as well. But putting two, young, offensive-minded D-man together has been the recipe for disaster. The pairing of #22 and #52 are a combined -9 so far this year.
