lets see a full 60 minute game...

Auugghh, I need to get the Center Ice Package, while NHL on the Fly has been good to me, I've really been dying to watch to some Red Wings games.

Let's hope for a victory while I'm constantly checking the score from my phone.

Go Wings!

Watch the games online. It's not a half bad experience, though obviously nothing compared to in person or on television.

check ATDHE.net. Free streams of all NHL games and they're pretty good quality.

[TheOwl 77]

http://atdhe.net/ is the best for higher quality streams. But sometimes their slow/lag.

Justintv.com is the best for lower quality streams, but theirs a chat window, and it usually doesn't lag.

For the Justintv one just click on sports at the side, then hockey, and you can usually find a red wings game. If not, click on any of the games, and check out the other channels below the video window. At least one will say Detroit vs ____.

[Guest mindfly]

Wings should win this one easily, but Ellis will play his best game of the season per usual against the wings and wings ain't motivated or "excited" as babcock says, to play at nashville the day after christmas, i think it could be a disappointing loss, i dont care much just as long as they win back to back against blackhawks

Hey I was just checking out ATDHE.net and I noticed I could get all the sports to come up and at least show the video box but the NHL ones cant be displayed. Is this common? or do they become available closer to game time?

Also.. Zetterberg should start scoring soon....................................

Per MLive -

Update from Friday's practice in Nashville: The Red Wings will use the same lineup they've had the last few games, as Chris Chelios and Derek Meech are healthy scratches. Coach Mike Babcock said he hadn't decided if Chris Osgood will start in goal Saturday in Colorado or whether Ty Conklin would start on consecutive nights.

Osgood, after a two-day break, practiced for the second time, his fourth time on the ice after straining his groin on Dec. 15. He said he would be ready to play Saturday if called upon.

"I feel pretty good,'' Osgood said. "The rest did me good, I feel sharp out there. Every little nick I had before is gone.''

I'd second that

I'd second that

Z's line has really not been clicking. There's been some good plays on individual efforts, but I don't remember a whole lot of tic-tac-toe playmaking.

or even tic-tac for that matter.

And hey, Cheli as another healthy scratch.

Hopefully I'll be eating my words in the playoffs, but right now re-signing Chelios has been the waste of a roster spot I thought it would be.

Imagine how he feels....

Preds try to goon it up early but get owned by the wings. 5 - 2

[Hocketownwest 11]

Although I hope not I get the feeling the Wings will not put forth a full 60 and lose yet again to another 08 finals rival.

Here's hoping this will be a reverse jinx.

[RWK23 0]

Imagine how he feels....

He didn't have a problem with it last season throughout the tailend of the playoffs. He knew what he was getting into when he re-signed.

Hard drive in the HD DVR took a dump yesterday right at the end of the Celtics Lakers game. Nice. DirecTV is coming out with a new HD DVR tomorrow. Will have to watch the game upstairs on the old 32" standard TV. Santa didn't bring me a flat screen for the game room! GO WINGS!!
