Hopefully there's not too much lag from the travel and back-to-back games tomorrow night.

Sidenote: Aflac, are you off work for the week, hence the GDT's? Regardless, its great to see them once again.

nick didnt even get 20 minutes of ice tonight so he should be rested very well. look for a good wings team again in a 4-1 victory

No, I was able to get those nutty hours switched around to something I prefer. I really didn't like them.

Thats the nicest game day post I have ever seen, well done. anywho, GO AVS GO!

[irishtemper14+25 11]

well its good to see back aflac...wings win 5-2

[Zeta Power 40 1]

lets go wings, bring tonight effort tomorrow at the pepsi center

Wings 3 Avs 1

[Guest DetroitIan]

I expect us to play pretty well despite it being a second half of a back-to-back.

Red Wings 3(Flipper, Cleary, Datsyuk)

Avalanche 1(Wolski)

[Hiei 192]

Hasek is not about to be outdone by Oz.

Lilja will rip Parker's beard right off his face

Wings 4 (D, Rafs, THE CAPTAIN, Draper)

Scab-alanche 1 (Smyth, who will run over Dom and true to the Anti-Homer sentiment, not get a penalty)

Aflac, you MUST teach one of us how to do the GDT like you do......It was Horrible......the carnage......the MISPLACED STATS and No Pretty Pictures while you were gone.....oh the humanity!!!

[Reds4Life 51]

3:1 Wings

Datsyuk

Filpulla

Franzen

[Lady in REd 0]

Eh, sorry I'm so new to this forum but I suppose we are making predictions...

I'll say Wings : 3-2

Datsyuk, Cleary, Val

And we'll say Wolski, Smyth

And as a newcomer I really like how this topic is set up, it's very nicely done.

[Cicada 4]

i gotta think this will be tight, but i still see a wings win...

4-3 - Dats, Rex, Flip, Bear

Stasny (2), and Wolski for the dive

Well lets see

Holmstrom, Zetterberg and Maltby are out, Hasek is getting the start and the Wings played last night in St.Louis, and visiting the team with the best home record in the league. All signs lead to an Avs win. But I'm not going to expect an Avs win because Detroit always seems to compete no matter the circumstances.

Good point, the Avs have been gaining a lot of wins lately but may be hindered due to those questionable injuries. Nonetheless I have a feeling this is going to be a great game to watch.

Oh and thanks Cicada!

Avs have had an advantage in the playoffs, and the Wings have always had an advantage in the regular season so I have to Pick Wings as much as it pains me.

Wings 4-3 (SO),

P.S. I don't expect Parker to play tonight, as our call up Cody Mcleod has been playing some nice physical hockey, so I'd expect him in the line up instead.

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Too bad Homer is out. We could se who the real Crease Champ is. I think we all know the answer

Wings 4 (Dats, Flip, Kopper, Stein)

Avs 1 (who cares)

[Opie 308]

I don't usually predict, but it is the hated Av's (I know, I know 10 years ago, I still hate them anyway!)!

4-0 Wings

Huds, Dats (+1a), Lids (pp +2a), Cleary

Ralf, Sammy, Flip, Franzen all get assists as well

Lilja gets owned by Parker after Parker takes a cheap shot at Huds and Huds jumps up to punch him in the chest!!

Budaj gives up 4 in the first 30 min and gets pulled!

This is kind of fun I am typing s*** that will probably never in a million years happen, but hey it could!!

[auxlepli 17]

I agree with others who said this will be a close game. It will probably go into OT and maybe even a SO.

[thedisappearer 291]

5-1, Wings

Datsyk (2), Flip, Lidstrom, Draper

[Nero 20]

Not central? No problem.

Heres to a good game!

[Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA]

5-4 wings. ( I hope)

Wings

Pavel (1)

Franzen(1)

Cleary(2)

Draper(1)

Avs

Smyth(2)

Statsny(1)

Brunette(1)

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Colorado has a really good core of impressive youngsters.

I'm still worried as hell about Z, but it looks like Dats is doing his whole "take up the team on his shoulders" thing he did when Z's back was hurt last season.

I'm thinking the Wings will win tonight but it will NOT be an easy game. Look for the Aves to hit hard and quick to take an early lead but the Wings to look into the mirror and find what they need to win.

Huddles will play great tonight. Bank on it.

[USAFWingedWheel 4]

avs still suck, but it will be a close one.....wings on top 3-1

[Nev 1,085]

I'm feeling nervous about this game - back to back, on the road, half decent opponent, banged up team, Hasek in goal.......then again I felt nervous about the game in Minnesota and look what happened there
