Pre-season Game 2: New York Rangers (0-1-1) at Detroit Red Wings (1-0-0) Here are the Red Wings lines for tonight's game: FORWARDS Bertuzzi-Abdelkader-Cleary Leino-Filppula-Williams Ryno-Emmerton-Maltby Ritola-McGrath-Mursak DEFENSE Kronwall-Janik Lebda-Stuart Meech-Kindl GOALIES Osgood McCollum Joe Louis Arena 7:30 PM ET TV: MSG (HD) Notes: - Zetterberg was originally slotted to center the top line tonight, but the Wings will opt to rest him due to a minor groin issue. No word on when he will make his pre-season debut.

This guy knows what's up. Well said.

VICTORY!!! 2-0-0

Lebda > Meech

Bad defense leads to easy goal. 4-3

ABBY!!! Leino and Willy pick up another point each.

WILLY!!! THIS IS OUR HOUSE!

I'm a little late to the party, but... FLIP!!! LEBDA!!! Keep it going, boys.

I don't think Willy has looked bad by any means.

How does Abdelkader look out there tonight?

We seem to be getting our chances, but nothing yet.

Great trade for both teams. If it weren't for the Red Wings, I'd be a Toronto fan (hometown pride), so this excites me.

Is there a stream available that doesn't require downloading any programs?

Time to kick it up a notch, boys.

How do Bertuzzi, Leino, and Williams look thus far?

In Babcock we trust.

Great news. With the exception of maybe Larsson, Kindl, and perhaps a couple more, Tatar is the one prospect in our system I am the most excited about. He continually impressed my brother and I during the World Juniors, so needless to say, I was ecstatic when we drafted him.

I was hoping to see Tatar in the lineup tonight, but I'm looking forward to seeing what this roster can do. With any luck, the Leino-Flip-Willy line will continue their strong play and do some serious damage. If anyone is interested, here are the Rangers projected lines for tonight: Chris Higgins - Chris Drury - Ryan Callahan Donald Brashear - Brian Boyle - Aaron Voros Sean Avery - Paul Crowder- P.A. Parenteau Evgeny Grachev - Artem Anisimov - Enver Lisin Wade Redden - Michal Rozsival Ilkka Heikkinen - Corey Potter Alexei Semenov - Bobby Sanguinetti Henrik Lundqvist Matt Zaba

Just as Drake said, there's no need to risk aggravating the injury more in a meaningless pre-season game, so I'm glad to hear Zetts will be sitting tonight. Besides, it's nice to get a look at some of the young guys this time of year. With that said, I'm hoping the Leino-Flip-Willy line can do some serious damage.

Get real. We've played one game, we scored three goals, one of our players fought, and we beat Pronger. Thus far, what more can you ask for?

Amen. That's a respectable statement by Williams.

For the first time in a while, the Leafs will be a very difficult team to play against this year.

Wait, Okposo was taken off the ice in a stretcher?

Good riddance. Never been a fan of the Niedermayers.

Too lazy to read the whole thread. Would anyone who caught the game care to give me a quick rundown on how everyone looked? I'm glad we won, but I'd like to know how our players played individually.
