wow, highest goal scorer on EDM with 5, is there offense just spread evenly or have they not been scoring much? i havent really been paying attention to them, what are their strong points/threats?? i knew last year they were killer on the shoot out.

anyways im gonna go with 4-2 wings (hossa, franzen, maltby, holmstrom)

get the home crowd reeling wings!!

So I've really been giving this game a lot of thought, and I truly believe the final score will be 14-3 in favor of our Detroit Red Wings.

I concur.

I agree with this prediction. I'd also like to add that the Oilers three goals will come from 5 on 3 powerplays.

[I Red Wings I 40]

Conklin started his career in Edmonton, I think he's going to play a good game. 3-0 Detroit.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

It would be just fantastic if we completely dominated and won without giving the other team a chance. I am tired of one goal decisions.

[Zion 93]

Babs is a genius. Of course Conklin is starting in consecutive games!

[Doggy 130]

I hope JDD plays. I haven't gotten to see him yet.

[Guest Four]

5-2 Detroit.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I hope JDD plays. I haven't gotten to see him yet.

Are you talking about Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers?

[puckloo39 5,686]

Looking forward to this one, even though I will be late to join the fun. Go, Conks!!

The Oilers have scored 17 less goals than the Red Wings have with one more game played, so if our defense can play stable hockey tonight, Detroit should have no problem picking up a victory, assuming we're firing on all cylinders.

In the spirit of predictions, I'll say Hockeytown takes this one 6-2 on goals from Zetterberg x2, Hossa, Franzen, Rafalski, and Draper. Kronwall will also pick up three assists, two of which will come on Zetterberg's goals.

im feeling 6-2, but McCarty gets 1 and Stuart has 3 assists (or i can hope for my fantasy team).

[CrossoverThrash 0]

i htink Z will have another awesome game, hopefully franzen can tip a few in as well

Lebda with the hat trick.

[Guest mindfly]

don't like these midwest/westcoast games... sooooo late won't be able to watch it but best of luck to the wings, hope they can tighten up the D once and for all

This is a game on east coast time...

[Guest mindfly]

Crap, my bad.. i thought this was the away game

They seem to playing at 7:30 more often than 7:00 at the joe.. wonder why?

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

The score shall be 4-2.

GO WINGS! GO CONKS!

[Slave 31]

8-3 wings, Z and D both get a trick, Hossa with 1 and flip with 1, franzen has 2 assists and homer gets 2 goals disallowed. Datsyuk also gets a 5 min major for dropping the gloves with hemsky, when scortini or peuleut or whoever edmonton has as an enforcer comes in Zetterberg jumps the boards and beat him into submission getting a 1 game suspension, coming back just in time to knock iginla out on saturday

Most Red Wings home games are at 7:30

[Guest mindfly]

Most Red Wings home games are at 7:30

if i remember correctly i watched every home game last season 1am CET (7pm EST) ... why that extra 30-40mins

[GSBrooks13 204]

I read somewhere that the Oilers are starting Rolly tonight so hopefully the Wings can take advantage of their 3rd tier goalie lol.. Anyways.. my prediction would be something like this..

Red Wings 6 - Hossa x 3, Lidstrom, Franzen, Kopecky

Oilers 1 - Hemsky

yeah mindfly, alot of our homegames lastyear where on at 7ET because most of them were National Televised Broadcasts here in the US and Canada (TSN). For the most part the Wings come on at 730ET if there at home. If they play on the east coast there are times when the game begins at 7et. Hope that helps you!!
