thanks for the GDT!

It's the All Star Game preview, Wings VS Habs.

Wings win by two goals.

[The Mule 0]

Is it confirmed that Ozzie will be in net tonight? He was great in Vancouver, but I've felt very confident with Conk Block between the pipes, so I was hoping he would get the calll again.

As for the game, this will be a fun one to watch. In usual fashion, I'll predict the Wings take this one by a score of 4-2, with goals from Hossa, Zetterberg, Franzen, and Drapes.

Not to mention, TSN is hands down my favorite sports network, so I'm amped they're showing this one.

[GSBrooks13 204]

Should be a decent game.. Wings shouldnt be happy with the outcome against Vancouver so lets hope they bring the heat at home..

Prediction..

Wings - 5 (Hossa, Draper, Hudler, Z, Lidstrom)

Canadiens - 2 (Koivu, Markov)

Nice GDT. I'm predicting a win by more than just one goal.

Go Wings!

[seeinred 1,488]

f*** it.

14-3.

[miller76 463]

I cant wait for this game. I was checking the habs forum today, and their gdt was up earlier in the day. Most posters on there are bracing for an ass whooping. So lets give their fans what they expect.

Hossa x3

[Doc Holiday 0]

Game. Blouses.

Hossa and Franzen must score. All humanity depends on it.

I tried to look up saying "Let's kick their asses!" in French but I wasn't too confident in the weird looking phrases the Internet kept giving me. So...

Really stoked for this one

1) Two Original-6 teams

2) Two pre-season Stanley Cup favourites

3) I'm guessing there will be a lot of Habs fans at the game so it should make for a great atmosphere

4) Its the live game this week in the UK, so I get to watch it all with a decent picture

3-2 Wings. Lilja continues his hot-streak with the GWG.

[Guest Shoreline]

Wings win 3-2.

Winning goal scored by O'Byrne

Wings win 3-2.

Winning goal scored by O'Byrne

Harsh.

I see he didn't see a second of ice-time after he scored that goal. Poor move by the coach or was he just protecting him from the fans?

Anyway I'm pumped for this game, can't wait! Always a good game against Montreal.

[Nick137 0]

4-2 Wings.

Hossa, Meech, Datsyuk (PPG) & Zetterberg (ENG)

I hope it's a fun game to watch! I love original 6 matchups! Hopefully the refs just let 'em play the friggin game! Kinda like they did in Vancouver...minus the call in OT. I coulda done without that one! lol

[I Red Wings I 40]

5-2 Detroit

[FinRedWing 172]

Lang scores his usual 2+1 against us,but he can't be found after the 2nd,as he had to go to Cheli's Chili to grab a little snack.

4-3 WINGS

Wings win 3-2.

Winning goal scored by O'Byrne

Yeah,there's no stopping him. He's on a hot streak.

nice gdt!

and completely off topic; is that a warrior goalie stick? I didnt know they made them. A quick search of my favorite hockey suppliers turned up nothing.

[HOCKEY MATTERS 167]

f*** it.

14-3.

Your persistence is heroic!

[Esquire 324]

Wings 3 (Hossa, Franzen, Helm)

Canadiens 1

Just read in another thread that McCarty was sent down today and Helm was called up.

[Shaman 713]

5-2 wings

Hatty by Z!!

[Guest mindfly]

I actually think canadiens will win it, probably by one goal or in OT or SO... but of course i hope the wings can surprise and win it.

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

GO WINGS!

They win it 5-1. (Hossa, Draper, Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Franzen)

GO OZZIE OR CONKS! LOL

Yup; I haven't seen them for sale, but I've also seen Marty Biron and Kipper use them too.

Funny quote from the Habs forum -"Only one team can come out the West. The Detroit Red Wings no longer have a top level goalie so this team will have a hard time making it to the finals two years in a row."
