Uncle Danny 155 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 This recent slump may be a good thing. Without bothering to look up stats, it's always seemed to me that the Wings hit a slump come January, then catch fire again. If we're slumping now, a full 30 days later than usual, that can only mean good things in the playoffs, right? Right? Bueller? As for people calling for secondary scoring to step up tonight, how about our primary scoring (#5 aside) steps back up? The looked horrible yesterday! Prediction: Wings 2, Ducks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 IT actually has not been said anywhere that Ozzy is in net. I would bet that Dom may get teh start becasue the wings will likely play the ducks sometime in the playoffs, so Babs would likely rather have Dom in there to prepare him for playoffs... since its a big game and stuff.... I hope Dom is in net... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Ok, full effort and a physical play, Wings win 4-2 (Draper, Downey, Zetterbergx2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I liked the physical effort yesterday, hope to see a little more of that today. The Wings finally have a game that means something. We've lost two in a row, playing the team that is likely our biggest rival right now, time to kick some ass. Part of me wishes Probert would come out of retirement for one game, and destroy Chris Pronger. I want blood....alas, I am Red Wings fan, the only blood spilled is our own.

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Well, seeing as things can't get much worse around here (Cleary out, losses to the worst team and the biggest rival), I'll predict the worst thing I can think of in hopes that it will not happen. Ducks 6 (Selanne x3, Pronger, Bertuzzi, Getzlaf) Wings 0 Lidstrom injured with shot to face from Sammy (how it happens I don't know, but somehow it's from the point and Lids is on the blueline). Downey fights and gets KO'ed and is out for the season. Dats and Hank crash into each other again and end up with broken ribs. And Sammy becomes first line center. Now, prove me wrong Wings and kick the ******* s*** out of them to prove a point to the fans of both teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I nono... Babs may want to play Dom back to back especially a big game like Anaheim where Dom would do better then Ozzy... And Babs tends to favor Dom... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Cheli will score since it's a big day for him. Drake will score because I've had his name running through my mind in a Nyquil-induced haze. Downey will score because nice people around here feel the spirit. Pronger will score just to bother me. Wings-3; Ducks-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I would bet that Dom starts tonight, and only because Ozzie is almost unbeatable in Nashville, and that just happens to be where the Wings will be on Tuesday!! I really hope Dom Plays between the pipes tonight!! Usually after he has a bad game or lets in a bad goal, he plays better the next game!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
