Just when I thought Perry was the Ducks' Lady Byng nominee, Niedermayer drops it all to a sad new level, by
A) throwing a sucker elbow,
B), fighting Datsyuk like a spot-picking moron,
and
C) stopping mid fight to adjust his visor.

Another spineless golfing Duck.

Fore!

gutless. Nice cheap shot there scotty. been sucking off Pronger too much lately. thats as low class as it gets, but after all, we are talking about the Ducks here. with an average IQ of 34 throughout the team and fan base.

I don't know if anyone is ever ready for an elbow of that magnitude. I was surprised to see these two go at each other, but it was the top players for both teams on the ice at the end of this game. I think for that reason we didn't see 3rd man in and other misconducts. Niedermayer with the win, if you want to call it that.

datsyk got his ass handed to him by a norris trophy winner,maybe he thought he was fighting lidstrom in practice.

Funny how the ducks always goon it up when the wings have their top players on the ice, bunch of cheap MOFO's, u know if Big Ericsson would have been out there, he would have destroyed Katy perry once again. But typical ducks fighting the superstars and not the grinders.

Datsyuk is a douchebag.

I guess he thought that thing in his hand was a purse and then figured out it was a glove.

Go Ducks!

Well, Scott should be embarassed, first because he EVER won a Norris Trophy, second, because he STOLE the Conn Smythe from Giguerre when they won the cup, and third, because he went after the smallest, least-likely-to-fight-back player on the ice. He is a weeny wimp who has been over-rated for too long. He made his chicken-ass brother look good on this stupid escapade, and why he wasn't suspended?.... Colin Campbell is so completely brain-dead (see Scott Walker incident).

I see Neidermayer took the time to adjust his VISOR after unloading a few more on Datsyuk. Yes, he didn't have time to take the lid off but once you have the guy in a prone position like having hold of the back of his jersey and holding him down and your wearing a visor, you don't keep throwing punches. You hold up. ....just waiting for all the nay sayers ..."it's the heat of the battle" For that, I give it a draw in a crap fight. Otherwise I would have given it to Neidermayer. And Perry...What a punk. At least Getzlaf didn't drop em with Hossa, who he would have distroyed. You could tell he wanted to ...but held off because he knew it.

wow.. never thought I'd see Neids fight.. in a playoff game.. and kick some ass... that elbow was pretty nice, too... although I doubt he meant to hit him in the head or even knew Datsyuk was there, really.

Kinda sounds familiar, don't it Wings fans?

Dude, the Ducks had a bunch of their skilled best players on the ice too. It's not their fault the Wings are a bunch of euro *******.

Great ending to the game!

Cheap elbow to the face and a few shot to the shoulder by Niedermayer. Datsyuk did nothing, but aside from the elbow it was crap.
