Versus Penguins 5, Red Wings 1 Final Official Game Recap Tonight's Stream Forthcoming Game Preview: Salei, Modano to make Red Wings debuts Tonight's Officials Unknown Pre-season Detroit 0-0-0 Pittsburgh 0-0-0 Last DET-PIT Meeting: 3/22, PIT 1 at DET 3 Recap DET None PIT None Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Hudler-Modano-Cleary Ritola-Helm-Eaves Miller-Abdelkader-Downey Stuart-Kindl Ericsson-Salei Meech-Lashoff Projected PIT Lines Sterling-Crosby-Dupuis Tangradi-Comrie-Malkin Wallace-Letestu-Kennedy Craig-Vitale-Boulerice Orpik-Michalek Letang-Strait Potter-Hutchinson DET Chris Osgood 0-0-0 PIT Marc-Andre Fleury 0-0-0 DET Kris Draper (groin) out PIT Jordan Staal out Next Game 9/24, Blackhawks at Red Wings; 7:00 PM I will be introducing (hopefully) a new GDT format by the start of the regular season. For now during the pre-season, I'm still going with last year's format.

Yeah not a bad pic. I kind of prefer this one.

Probably because there is more than one pre season game and Downy wont play in all of them. He's gotta get a feel for the team and a chance to maybe make the team as well.

This is the problem with the new generation, no respect for adults. Yes Draper and Maltby are falling fast, but what you fail to realize is the thing that makes this team what it is, is loyalty to veteran players, you take care of them as long as you can and they take care of you, it's why we don't have contract hold outs, it's why our players defer salary. I have several jerseys with retired or aging players, I also have several with new players or prime players. The point is, to say Maltby is in the twilight of his career, and that he won't be around much longer if at all is one thing, to laugh at a person for suggesting they wear his jersey, and saying "he needs" to retire is something entirely different. Have some respect for the players that helped mold the Red Wings into what they are today, because Draper and Maltby were both a big part of that.

My God you're a machine...

Brind'Amour look a bit like sly on this one.... nooooooo of course he has only been eating his breakfast and trained hard

I don't think there are very many players who can make Pasha look bad.

If this makes any sense, if it was just a 2v2 I'd pick the real twins, their chemistry is almost creepy. That said, if I was building a team I'd pick Datsyuk/Zetterburg as they are better overall players.

I kinda hope Matt Cooke is playing but it's a double edged sword. If he's out there then a lot of the Wings' good players are at risk. But I kind of want him to play because Downey is going to play and I want Downs to run him out of the game. Not gonna lie.

Hahaha this forum kills me sometimes. Arguing about a #6 defenceman? C'mon guys. Newf buddy, dont worry, Salei will be fine. Who cares who's better, Salei's a Red Wing, that's all that counts.

hahaha - good riddance Stat line for tonight's game against Ottawa: Player G A PTS +/- TOI Lebda 0 0 0 -2 20:23 Enjoy watching that all season Toronto...

So THAT explains Ovie.

One of my favorites:

I'm so glad my nicknames of vFlip and iFlip have stuck. My single contribution to this site haha

Love it! Who is that, anyway???

Succinct, but to the point. I had hoped he'd come back and be able to play for the Wings, but it appears that's not to be. In any event, I wish him well in his future endeavors and I hope that maybe he'll find his way back to the Winged Wheel. If not, it's been a slice.

vFlip/iFlip LOL. iFlip. Thats funny. It was a real treat to see our talent vs our talent. This is the first red/white game that I've seen. It was awesome to see Lidstrom poke check the puck off of Franzens stick. The best part is our prospects look very solid! There are a ton of up and comming talent. I can't wait to see Tatar in the NHL.

What would this entail?

Ericsson you suck

I need names with numbers... :S

I really want to see Ozzie have a good season. Hell, he just needs seven more wins to pass Grant Fuhr for #9 on the all-time wins list. Eleven if he wants to pass Glenn Hall for #8.

Red Wings are going to win!

Here's my video of the Wings' Three Stooges/Abbott & Costello. It took forever to download to PhotoBucket. It's great to hear the crowd's reaction to their antics. Thanks, boys, for a great show!

Get a Homer. Lifelong Wing and underrepresented guy who's been huge for us.

Eh Zetterberg jerseys are a dime a dozen. Even though those other guys will be retired in 5 years, they will still all be memorable iconic Red Wings figures for a long time to come. I like the idea of getting a jersey of one of our more unsung heroes.
