Shutemdown 23 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 I'll say another Wings win, 5-2. No more close games. D will tighten up. Zetterberg (2g), Hossa, Samuelsson, Cleary gets the empty net. The only reason we'll win is because VladiBELIEVE16 wore her RED game-day thong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
96warrior 11 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 From MLIVE: Grind Line reunited for tonight's game by Ansar Khan Monday October 27, 2008, 3:05 PM Update from the morning skate at the Staples Center in Los Angeles: Johan Franzen's knee injury has led to the reunion of The Grind Line, as coach Mike Babcock plans to use Kris Draper with Kirk Maltby and Darren McCarty, a unit that was first formed during the 1996-97 season and last played together for one shift on March 28 vs. St. Louis, when the trio started the game. "Grinding. I expect them to be good,'' Babcock said. "We need four lines competing and working hard and being energized and making a contribution. The way you play and the minutes and the wear and tear on the opposition is important.'' Dan Cleary fills Franzen's spot on the line with Henrik Zetterberg and Mikael Samuelsson. Cleary also will provide the net-front presence on the second power-play unit, with Zetterberg and Jiri Hudler up front. The Wings still have not recalled Ville Leino from Grand Rapids, as they want to see how Franzen's knee reacts in the next day or two. "We better figure out how long he's going to be out before we put him on long-term (injured reserve, which would cost him 10 games,'' Babcock said. "Near the end (of his time out), if you want to go retroactive, that's different. If Mule's ready after five, why wouldn't we have him? So right now (the roster) is what it is.'' Somebody asked Tomas Holmstrom if he had spoken to Franzen. "I called him, but he never answers his phone,'' Holmstrom said. "He doesn't even know his own number.'' Chris Osgood, as you would expect, will start in goal tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 I really don't like the look of the 3rd and 4th lines with Franzen out, but the Wings win 2 touchdowns to a field goal regardless. Am I really going to do this every game this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 I'd love to see a blowout, just to get some more confidence, but these games never go how we predict, so it'll probably be 3-2, whoever wins. It'd be really nice to have a Wing (Hossa!) get a hatrick, or Datsyuk to score one of his amazing superhuman goals. We haven't seen one of those in a while and it'd be nice to see it again. Oh, and an Ozzie shutout would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cirov19 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 Big game... I'm starting to get used to these online streams - and I'm actually beginning to enjoy them too. Wings will bring this one home. Big game for the goaltender and that is as far as I will go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savaking72 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 Really excited about tonight's game. Our #1 line, Hossa-Dats-Hommer, seems good for 2 goals a game so far. At the beginning of the season I wasn't liking Hossa to much. Boy, has he ever been getting comfortable with Datsyuk! After watching them play Atlanta and the Hawks...Hossa's freak'n awesome! I'll never forget that shootout goal against the Hawks...priceless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
