Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 woooooooooooooo. I missed the GDT's glad they are back! Im glad Danny is probably playing on the top line, but Ellis shouldnt be playing, he's useless. Im predicting 4-1 win for us. Dannyx2, Z and Drake. And if things get chippy, Drake will fight Torres!

Defenseman13 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) i will be watching the game on center ice.. (the greatest creation of all mankind) and I am hoping for a wings victory only cause they are not VS. the ducks... Center Ice is in fact the greatest. The office now has the extra TV in it, and another $5 a month gets me another cable box. That means 2 different games at the same time, not including the 2 games I can record through the DVR. There's nothing like having the potential for 10 hours of hockey a day depending on the schedule, trying to work, and keeping a girlfriend. Unfortunately I need to work to pay the electric and cable bills. Oh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. oh and if anyone's interested, we went to the King's home opener (I live in L.A.) and made a little camera video. They had quite a party, including speeches and appearances by Luc Robitaille, Marcel Dionne, McSorley, Deadmarsh and so on. They tanked it to the Blues, and it was really ugly hockey to watch. http://www.teamblueline.com/kingsopener.wmv Relating to the thread, I see the Wings style taking advantage of the Oilers, but beware... they have some guns still up front. They did a number on the Sharks, although we played a bit weak and did manage to squeeze a point out of it in a shootout.

Wings&Beer 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I dont have a good feeling about this one. The loss to the hawks has got me thinking "when it rains it pours" ie, rolling over into the edmonton game. ANYWAY, ill still give it to the Wings 4- Oil- 3 I want to see a few more of those rockets from the blue line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishconnection 36 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 The return of the Aflac GDT just tops off the fact that HOCKEY SEASON IS REALLY HERE! The off-season really felt WAY too long this time around. Fantastic Job, as always Aflac! No predictions on score, but dont underestimate the Oil. Hopefully Babs layed into the guys after dropping last game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob the Badger 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 It's great to have these threads back. Ahhh, life makes sense again. I'm going to predict a 4-3 Wings victory in a down to the minute nail biter. Wings win it in the closing moments when Homer gets an ugly goal in front of the net. No pizzazz, just hard work and grit. Go Wings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izzy24 44 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 If the Wings don't win this game, and in convincing fashion, I think they should cease operations for this season (and maybe next). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I hope Filppula get's the start on the first line. Ditto! I've watched both Oilers games and I think they have a way better team this season. Gagner & Cogliano seem like the real deals and Pitkanen-Souray is a great PP-tandem. That being said I think the Wings will obviously win tonight,shall we say 4-2?
