Things aren't going well anywhere around the Red Wings organization right now. The Wings started 3-0 and have gone 1-5-1 since then. The Griffins have started 1-6, suffering an embarrassing loss to the Toronto Marlies last night, dropping that decision 6-1.
But that's not the ugliest thing from last night. With 1:15 left to go in the game, tensions boiled over between the Griffins and the Marlies, which ended in Tyler Bertuzzi throwing a number a gloved punches at Kasperi Kapanen before slew-footing and bodyslamming the unwilling participant. Here's the play, from Jeffl Veillette at TheLeafsNation

I would highly recommend reading Jeffler's take on the situation, including an explanation as to why that referee seems pretty disinterested in stopping Bertuzzi:
The lone official spends his time doing a lot of pointing and yelling.
