Offsides 21 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 My only prediction is this: *WHEN* we win, I think that Cleary or Dom will be the best person in the ice and will thus take the coveted spot for Game 3 in my sig. Though I will keep an open mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junk 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Calgary is too tough at home. This series goes back to Detroit tied at 2. 4-2 for the Flames tonight is my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gameover 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Z we need you tonite. Let's get'er done. LET'S GO WINGS!!!! Do some of you Wings fans predict that they'll win every game Just like the Flamer fans? Unreal. All this talk about who brought their A game and who is playing better. WHen you have two teams trying to impose their will on the other something has to give... I think the wings will lose this game -- and have to come home and regroup. And I have no idea about who will score. Calgary will come here with momentum. However, I do know they have been a crappy road team this year and will have to prove something. I think this series is headed for 7 games.... Look it up -- but I think every team that has scored first in the playoff this year has won the game...? How nutty is that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aflac9262 211 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Off topic, but if anybody didn't hear Don Cherry on Jim Rome but wanted to hear what he said about Datsyuk and the Wings in general, here's a clip: http://aflac9262.googlepages.com/DonCherryOnJimRome.mp3 I couldn't believe Cherry threw that cheap shot in there though at the beginning. He can talk all he wants about the Wings style of play, but where are his precious Toronto Maple Leafs? What's going on in their series? Oh yeah that's right, they are *cough* golfing!

From what i've seen in the first 3 gmaes is just awful. He is one of the worst players on the ice for both teams.

Offsides 21 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 What!? That makes no sense. I want Hudler to play, but Hudler for Calder is really confusing... And for the person who asked. Why would we predict for the Wings to lose? It's a prediction...not real life. Why would we randomly think that the Flames, who haven't even risen to their top game yet, would beat us...surely you jest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glasgowcelticwing 18 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 There'a no way that Calder gets benched and Lang and Sammy keeps sucking as bad as they have. surely Ken Kal has got the wrong info, if not i'll be extreamly . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowtown_Wingnut 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 From TSN's Ice Chips Head Coach Mike Babcock may switch up his lines for Game 4 of the Wings series with the Flames. Todd Bertuzzi may replace Mikael Samuelsson on a line with Robert Lang and Kyle Calder in an attempt to jump start the offence. Samuelsson would likely be shifted to the fourth line with Valtteri Filppula and Johan Franzen or scratched in favor of Jiri Hudler. - Detroit News Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwing711 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Huge game, Calgary hasn't brought it's "A" game yet in the series, hoping we see it here in game 4. Flames 4 (Iginla, Huselius, Langkow, Primeau) Red Wings 2 (Zetterberg, Lidstrom) Really hope Bertuzzi plays again, he and Lang remind me of the Wings in the 2004 playoff series. Lazy and uninspired. The C of Red will be fired up again tonight! GO FLAMES GO!!! I usually don't make game predictions, but I'm feeling inspired today. Wings net 2 in the first, Calgary zero, taking the crowd out of the equation. The Lang/Calder line was given a wake up call by Babs after the last game and they net a couple more before the end of the game. 4-2 Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covenant 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I hope Calder is playing tonight, and its Sammy sitting and Huddler is in The Calder thing I heard as well, I think it was slightly out of context. He was merely saying that the entire line was doing nothing, including everyone's darling around here, Mr. Calder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do play well together. They trust each other with the puck and pass well to each other. They both like to shoot and they are probably Detroit's #2 offensive duo behind the Dats-Zata combo.
