Tonight's Stream-Opposition GDT Official Game Preview Last ANA-DET Matchup Next Game vs.

the 7.5 million dollar goal

If I hear another moron say that the NHL put the Leafs in this game to make sure they fill they stadium I'm gonna flip. If Michiganders can fill the stadium for a college hockey game, no one gives a damn who the Wings are playing, just the fact that the Wings are there will make it full.

I'll be at this one.

Since late January the wings have actually doubled their fighting majors from October to January. Theyve had like 5 fights in their last 5 games or something like that. As well, Ericcson wanted Eager bad tonight but Eager had nothing to do with it. I have to think Babcock said something to them about sticking up for each other and toughening up down the stretch to get ready for playoffs. Commie cementing himself as what looks to be the more regular 6th defenseman has helped as well. Just seems like whenever the wings look flat and a fight starts, the wings get their legs under them. Abdelkader sparked them tonight and they didnt look back after. If they have eachothers backs like this all the time I would be very happy. Keep it up

Heading down to the Joe for this one. LGW!

He's clearly clutch. Let's trade for him.

Video or it didn't happen.

Put the bong down kid. you dont think ilitch cares about detroit? please. having 115,000 at this game will be better for the atmospheres as opposed to the 30k at comerica, half of those wont be able to see s***. you have any clue how many teams dont play in the city where their name is? Pistons and Lions (silverdome), coyotes play in glendale, not phoenix. the list goes on. and ill bet the house youll be watching on jan 1st.

Here's an interesting stat. This year the Wings are 9-1-1 in games where there is a fighting major. I wonder if it fires the boys up when one of their teamates drops the mitts regardless of they win or lose.

5th in TOI for forwards with over 16 minutes a game. Plays on the PK and the PP and isn't afraid to go anywhere on the ice. 6th on the team with 11 goals. 8th on the team with 27 points and is a +12. He was on pace for about his usual 40 points. People may be unhappy with his play, but anytime you lose a guy who plays 16 minutes a night in all situations and get you 40 points, it's a significant loss. Hopefully he gets the knee drained and comes back healthy.

Sorry about the title, but I thought it might make it easier to find this thread down the line. I was reading about the Big House Winter classic again, when I read that it might be hard to impossible to get tickets for the thing if you are not a season ticket holder. This seems absurd to me due to the size of the stadium, but I know tickets will be hard to get so... I thought our community could be used to help us all out. Enter Operation Dumbo Drop. I say we use this thread to post updates of when tickets will go on sale. We can try to help each other get in line for the precious tickets and make sure that Wings fans are the first to get the few their are to get. I say we find out the maximum amount of tickets we can buy as well and try to buy the maximum and come here to sell the tickets back at FACE VALUE! Let's not get greedy trying to make money off of each other. Sell them at 10x the price to a Leafs fan, but try and make the priority to get people from here on. In short, we should try to get as many of the die hard fans in for this once in a lifetime event. Also try and get us in to all of the other events at Comerica as well. What say you?

Pretty much it. As long as mistakes like that aren't the norm and the player is giving the effort, I'm rarely going to go nuts on a guy for making a mistake or brainfart. Happen to pretty much everybody. Miller is not overly physical and will never be a 30-goal scorer but he busts his rear end pretty much every play which is his most important quality for this team. Good to see him get rewarded on the stat sheet some lately.

It's the same team that wasn't good enough the last 2 years, with a few tweaks. Howard is a championship calibre goalie now, we could use a few big forwards and then I say the skys the limit. Also staying healthy will be key, but if Holland stands pat regardless of 1st overall or not I think it'll be a mistake. Especially with all the cap space we have.

The tix should be open to ALL hockey fans. Just block off the exact same amount for Wings fans and Leafs fans, then the rest are open to all. 36,000 for Wings all in one part of the Stadium, 36,000 for Leafs in a different part of the Stadium and 38,000 for general NHL fans who want to attend. When you order, you are asked which team or neither? Then you are given the choice of certain sections for that team only. That way we have a side with Wings fans and side with Leafs fans, then the ends are filled with random fans. (certainly of which can be Wings and Leafs fans.) Imagine the view from the blimp with all Red on one side of the field and all Blue on the other?

So....what you are saying is that Leafs fans are more well-to-do than Red Wings fans? Just because there will be a mark-up doesn't mean Leafs fans are the only ones who can afford it...I would say 99.999999999% of Wings fans do not live in the City and as a matter of fact, a ton of them live in Oakland County which is one of the wealthiest counties in the Nation....

So here's a good question. Who is going to man up and throw the octopus at the Winter Classic?

The should have just left the name Versus because now there's so much confusion as to which NBC channel we need to watch.

I'm guessing it's partly that, but I think it's also that Lidstrom constantly has his head up, so he's really hard to get a good hit on. It's seriously ridiculous how little he looks down at the puck. Next game just watch Lids. He's almost never looking down, whether he's skating up ice with the puck, making a pass, or taking a shot. I'm not sure he even knows what his skates look like.

Rinaldo is going to be running around causing s*** no matter what, I ******* love that kid. Huge hitter, fights anyone.

I dunno man but I hope they drop the gloves against the Ducks Friday cause I will be in attendance.

they didn't deserve to win the series. those are just excuses.
