I hope the Wings remember how s***ty they played last time they played the sharks in San Jose: horrible. With that in mind, the Wings come out looking to take over first place in the west.

Bit different to work though, I'll be on a plane to Melbourne. Hoping the Wings can build on their impressive victory the other night. Franzen to score the GWG, Filppula to net a goal also as it's been far too long between drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 4-1 Sharks. Always predict a loss. Then if the Wings lose, you're right so you're happy, but if they win, you're happy because they won, and you forget you were wrong. Works every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivalred 630 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 This game is huge and will set the bar for the rest of the season. The boys need to come put flying and pressing hard. We are going to have to be physical this game and crash the net. Cross crease passes and going up high is key! No snow is keeping me from going out and watching this game with fellow LGW Members. Hardcore here! Lets. Go. Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) D-day is here, time to show up and play solid 60minutes... go big or go home, fo shizzle ma nizzle. I'll go with that other fella's prediction, predict a sharks win and it's win-win situation. If wings win ,perfect, means they basically played a perfect game, if they don't win well then you picked the right winner and can feel good about yourself... a little bit atleast 5-2 Sharks Edited January 17, 2009 by mindfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
