Follow the top moments of this last day of festivities at the Joe http://mihockeynow.com/2017/04/the-final-game-at-joe-louis-arena/ Tonight marks Z's 1000th game

Wings won their last game against the Stars with Vrana scoring 4 goals and the rest of the Wings tacking on 3 more for a full touchdown with extra point. Tonight is the last of a four game stretch against the Stars and the Wings look to even it up.

Well, running a bit late. Just sat down to enjoy the game and I see we're already down 2-0 late in the 1st period. Wings ... amiright? And now we're down 3-0. Defense looking horrible to non-existent.

Wings lead 2-0 early in the 3rd. Who'da thunk it?

Rasmussen on the Taxi Squad, seems like Svechnikov still in, will post lines when available. I'm reading Brome, Rasmussen are up and Nielsen are down, 4th line of Brome - Rasmussen - Svechnikov? LGW!!

Let's make it 3 in a row, hoping to see more from Svechnikov tonight. LGW!

Lines seem to be the same as last game, will update if that changes. LGW!

My normal sources for lines haven't been updated since Tuesday, so i'll post up closer to game time. Now they are saying they have "no idea" how long Bertuzzi will remain out and is currently week to week. He had a shaky start to the season and this is a lot more down time, I expect when he returns he will need a handful to shake off the rust, maybe the top line can be reunited and the scoring will be better than 0 to 2 goals per game. I'll be here and watching, haven't missed a game this season but it's not getting much easier to sit through. In it for the long haul though, LGW! Also I noticed I have the option to "feature topic" and I have no idea what it's going to do so i'm going to pin and feature this bad boy. UPDATE lines a bit shuffled tonight Fabbri - Larkin - Mantha Ryan - Namestnikov - Zadina Erne - Glendening - Helm Brome - Filppula - Gagner DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Djoos - Nemeth Bernier/Greiss (unconfirmed)

Larkin - Mantha - Helm Ryan - Fabbri - Zadina Filppula - Namestnikov - Gagner Brome - Glendening - Erne DeKeyser - Hronek Staal - Merrill Nemeth - Djoos Bernier (unconfirmed)

Seems like the same lines as last night, let's come out better than 7-2 to say the least. RIP Sergei Tchekmarev LGW!

Zadina - Larkin - Mantha Ryan - Fabbri - Brome Filppula - Glendening - Gagner Helm - Nielsen - Erne Merrill - Hronek Staal - Stetcher Nemeth - Djoos Greiss Biega recalled from the taxi squad, not sure which defensemen is out but these are how the lines are currently posted up as of today so far, Helm is a game time decision but sounding like he's in. SCORE ON THE PP BUMS LGW!

Projected lines for tonight, Dekeyser cleared waivers, Bertuzzi not expected back until at least Wednesday and has not resumed practicing. Zadina - Larkin - Brome Ryan - Fabbri - Mantha Filppula - Namestnikov - Gagner Nielsen - Glendening - Erne Merrill - Hronek Staal - Stetcher Nemeth - Djoos Greiss LETS GO WINGS!

taken directly from http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2017/03/red_wings_lineup_vs_avalanche_2.html The Avs are worse than us on paper... how will we be on the ice? Turtle Soup anyone? LGRW!!!! The Red Wings' Jimmy Howard has appeared in one game since spraining his MCL Dec. 20 at Tampa Bay. (Mike Mulholland | MLive.com) Print Email By Ansar Khan | akhan1@mlive.com Follow on Twitter on March 15, 2017 at 12:37 PM, updated March 15, 2017 at 2:44 PM DENVER -- Jimmy Howard will try to win his second game in as many starts since returning from a knee injury when the Detroit Red Wings visit the Colorado Avalanche tonight at Pepsi Center (9:30, Fox Sports Detroit). Howard made 24 saves in a 4-2 victory Friday over the Chicago Blackhawks, his first appearance since Dec. 20, when he suffered a sprained right MCL during the first period at Tampa Bay.Howard has a 1.96 goals-against average and .934 save percentage, numbers that would lead the NHL if he had enough appearances to qualify. He has played in 18 games. Anthony Mantha will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past two games. He'll start on a line with Frans Nielsen and Darren Helm. The Avalanche (19-46-3, 41 points) have by far the worst record in the NHL. They are 19 points behind Arizona, which has the second-worst record. The Red Wings (26-30-11, 63 points) are just one point ahead of New Jersey, which is last in the Eastern Conference. Here are the Red Wings' anticipated lines: Tomas Tatar-Henrik Zetterberrg-Gustav Nyquist Anthony Mantha-Frans Nielsen-Darren Helm Andreas Athanasiou- Dylan Larkin- Justin Abdelkader Drew Miller- Riley Sheahan- Luke Glendening On defense: Danny DeKeyser-Nick Jensen Niklas Kronwall-Mike Green Xavier Ouellet-Robbie Russo In goal: Jimmy Howard (starting) Petr Mrazek

Fight!

Game has already started, but still.

Didn't wanna steal Dabura's thunder but it's getting later in the afternoon and hadn't seen anything posted yet. We're back, let's see how the end of the season unfolds. HYPE!!

Might add something later on at work, first GDT of our LGW season. 3-1-0 start to the season, Mantha is white hot, that line looks pretty dominant. I'm liking what i've seen from Hronek so far also. Let's get another win, and finally open up the season here on LGW! Let's have a good turnout tonight. I'm ready.
