[Viperar 16]

ahhh man, cant wait for this one, hopefully i will be able to watch, no prediticions, just hope everyone stays healthy, and we win

[T-Ruff 47]

Been anticipating this game for a while.... love the Sens.... should be great

[wingslogo19 281]

This one is on cbc for the folks who are in Canada... Wings will win this one, and hopefully Z will be ok to play tonight

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Pumped for this one...wish Downey was playing though.

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Wings 5 (Dats, Cleary, Lids, Kronner, Homer)

Sens 3 (Killer, Alfie, Redden)

From Red Wings corner:

Zetterberg has the flu

Henrik Zetterberg did not participate in Saturday's morning skate and might miss tonight's game in Ottawa. He's a game-time decision.

"It's my understanding he's playing tonight," said Detroit coach Mike Babcock. "If not ... we've played without him before. What are you going to do?"

Without Z, here's how the Red Wings practiced ...

Filppula-Datsyuk-Holmstrom

Hudler-Franzen-Samuelsson

Cleary-Draper-Maltby

Drake-Kopecky-Downey

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Kronwall-Lilja

Lebda-Chelios

Hasek (starts)

Osgood

Ellis (healthy scratch)

Ellis might play on the fourth line with Downey scratched. That's yet to be determined. Both will be scratched if Zetterberg plays.

Nothing fancy. I'm no aflac. I'll just toss in this little gem of an article to start this off:

Ross McKeon: Wings-Sens best schedule has to offer

Nice article. Too bad he brought up the WCF again, aka a nail for my heart. Also he's getting ahead of himself. Who's to say these two teams will be conference champions?

Anyway this game should be on national TV, but Versus only shows games on Mondays and Tuesdays. It should also be receiving the kind of press and coverage the November Colts - Patriots game got. SI mentioned it as a pick of the week, but the previous SI also mentioned the Winter Classic, but yet no post-game coverage appears in this week's issue.

Anyway that's my rant.

GO WINGS!

[Z and D for the C 712]

Man I'm excited for this one. I really hope Z is in.

Very stoked for this one. I'll be working, but in the lounge and you better believe it going to be on the TV. Undisputed #1 team in the league!!! Detroit Red Wings.

[RusDRW 155]

I'm really looking forwards to this game. "Battle of the best" isn't it? Hope we'll win.

have no fear, if Z cant play then im sure pav,bear, flip, and the rest of the gang will step up again. its going to be a real nail bitter though,hopefully they're out of they're funk from last couple games.

[Datsyukian Geek 2]

I expect a lot of scoring in this one...I'll say 7-4 Wings, with or without Z

Drake will strike again, you just wait and see, hahaha!

[Echolalia 2,961]

Wings 4-3

Spezza, Mezaros, Redden

Homer, Cleary, Filpulla, Kronwall

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

I'm SO excited for this game!

Wings win it 4-1 (Cleary, Datsyuk, 2 by Drapes)

GO WINGS!!!!!!

[Flip-check 6]

This will be pretty much the closest thing to playoff hockey we'll get until April.

Is it 7o'clock yet?

[dicksmack 33]

Win or lose, Wings are the best team in the league.

Here's to hoping we win! Cheers! :beerbuddy:

[Grittzkey 1]

Drake will strike again, you just wait and see, hahaha!

I told this story on the last GDT, but i feel like telling it again

When drake was on his Lil Breakaway deal last night when he scored. i turned back to my friend while we were sitting down and i was like "its drake touching the puck whats the odds of him even hitting the goalie" *not my exact wrods, but something along the line" but the second i said my last word.. everyone stood up and started cheering and i turn around and sure enough Drake scored. i felt dumb. but tell me, when dont i say something dumb?
