Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2007 VS Detroit Red Wings (23-6-3) - Washington Capitals (13-18-2) 7:00 PM EST Joe Louis Arena, Detroit MI Click HERE for the NHL.com Preview Last game video: Capitals-Lightning and Detroit-Florida Team Leaders WAS Goals Alex Ovechkin 23 Assists Michael Nylander 20 Points Alex Ovechkin 38 Plus/Minus Alex Ovechkin 7 PP Goals Alex Ovechkin 10 Wins Olaf Kolzig 10 GAA Brent Johnson 2.78 Save PCT Brent Johnson .902 DET Goals Henrik Zetterberg 23 Assists Pavel Datsyuk 25 Points Henrik Zetterberg 45 Plus/Minus Nicklas Lidstrom 17 PP Goals Henrik Zetterberg 9 Wins Chris Osgood 15 GAA Chris Osgood 1.76 Save PCT Chris Osgood .929 Background The Capitals have won five of their past seven and are 7-4-1 since replacing coach and former Wing Glen Hanlon with Bruce Boudreau. Swedish phenom Nicklas Backstrom ranks third on the team and third among NHL rookies with 21 points. The snowstorm didn't have any effect on preparations for the Wings, who had a regularly scheduled day off Sunday. Tomas Holmstrom (knee) said Saturday he was optimistic he'd play against the Capitals. While Holmstrom could be ready soon, Kris Draper (knee) could return later in the week. Kirk Maltby (back) continues to be out indefinitely. Former Wings prospect Tomas Fleischmann is finding a home in Washington. The Wings traded the young center, along with draft picks, for Robert Lang in 2004. He has five goals and five assists in 30 games Tomas Holmstrom said after the morning skate today that he'd be in tonight when the Red Wings host Washington. Holmstrom has missed two games because of a sore knee.Kris Draper, out since Nov. 27 with a sprained knee, had another good practice, and could go tonight if needed. But since the Wings have points in nine straight games, there's no hurry, so Mike Babcock said Draper would be back Wednesday or Thursday. That should still allow him to get into two games before the Christmas break. It does not look like Kirk Maltby, out since Nov. 27 with a sore back, will return before the break. He hasn't skated since a brief experiment Dec. 3, so is still at least a week away. Other stats: Valteri Filpulla has scored 2 goals on penalty shots in the past 3 games. The last game vs Florida featured the first -ever Red Wings game in which they received 2 penalty shots! Flip was successful while Pavel was unable to bury the puck in the 5-2 victory for the Wings.LET'S GO RED WINGS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like your thinking-hope you're right about everything. If Dom did something totally crazy to get everybody going that would be so awesome. I'm still loving he's bowling the other players moment. I think he's trying to combing the 2 sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terri27 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Ohhh and another ref casualty. Hank colliding with a Captial and the ref had nowhere to go. Brashear vs Downey perhaps? Im mildly concerned Downey is going to get pummelled. Don't be, I think Downey can hold his own tonight-should the occassion call for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 I'm so glad you're here, putting smiles on my face see there's one. Hopefully Dom won't let any in-and if he does may it be blatantly obvious that it's not his fault. So people can't complain. nothing will stop that around here, Terri. Dom was all over that early chance. Go, Dom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Brashear vs Downey perhaps? Im mildly concerned Downey is going to get pummelled. I was thinking about that. I'd rather he go for Erksine, less chance of getting pummeled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
