Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) VS Preview- Stars at Red Wings Recap- Stars 4, Red Wings 2 Dallas: 21-18-7, 9-12-3 Road Record, 49 pts; 4th in Pacific Division, 11th Overall in Western Conference Last Game: Defeated ATL 2-0 Recap Detroit: 31-9-7, 16-3-2 Home Record, 69 pts; 1st in Central Division, 2nd Overall in Western Conference Last Game: Lost to CBJ 3-2 (OT) Recap Last DAL-DET meeting: 1/12, DET 4 at DAL 5 (OT) Recap Goals DAL Loui Eriksson: 22 DET Marian Hossa: 23 Assists DAL Mike Ribeiro: 30 DET Pavel Datsyuk: 37 Plus/Minus DAL Stephane Robidas: +12 DET Pavel Datsyuk: +21 ---- DAL Matt Niskanen: -12 DET Kris Draper: -11 PIM DAL Krys Barch: 82 DET Andreas Lilja: 36 Forthcoming Per MLive - Defenseman Brad Stuart might be placed on long-term injured reserve because Holland said he could miss two weeks or more with his rib injury. That would enable the team to recall a couple of players from AHL affiliate Grand Rapids. "That might be something we do so we can have a look at (Jonathan) Ericsson, (Darren) Helm, (Ville) Leino, that group of guys,'' coach Mike Babcock said. "If we're going to use them at playoff time we need to get a look at them to see if they're NHL playoff-ready.'' They might opt to bring up enforcer Aaron Downey. DAL Marty Turco 20-16-7, 3.00 GAA, .888 SV %, 2 SO DET Chris Osgood 15-3-6, 3.21 GAA, .883 SV %, 0 SO DAL Landon Wilson (ribs) out, Sergei Zubov (hip) out, Brendan Morrow (torn ACL) out DET Henrik Zetterberg (back spasms) will not play as precautionary measure, Brad Stuart (ribs) out, Darren McCarty (groin) out Edited January 30, 2009 by Hockeytown0001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Oooh I like that quote. Bring up Leino, let's see what he can do. But this one ends 14 - 3. The Wings just don't lose 4 in row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icesurfer 75 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 I believe Ericsson has an injury so I hope we finally see Leino since Z is out. Do we really need an enforcer against Dallas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Is Ozzie really playing again? I guess it would be smart to save Conklin for the Caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 According to MLive, it's Ozzie due to his record against the Stars. Gotcha, makes sense. Let's hope he comes up playing big against Turco. Is this the 3rd or 4th time we have played the stars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 the last game against the blue jackets was a bit disappointing, hopefully the Wings can come out and take it to a stars team that are sticking around the playoff hunt and have a real chance if they string some wins together. id expect to see them come out hard against the Wings. nonetheless, hopefully Turco continues to struggle between the ears when it comes to playing against the Wings. hmmm wonder who gets called up for the game?

Louisville 112 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Nice GDT, keep those up. I wish we could keep the Cleary - Filppula - Samuelsson line together. Last game they busted their asses out there and I'm surprised none of them registered a point. My only prediction as that one of those guys has a big game.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 So excited! I actually get to see this one! Have to drive 2 hours, but what the heck, free dinner at Mom and Dad's, and Center Ice to boot! I hope they call up Leino. As much as I love the other guys mentioned, I'd like to see what he's got. Wings win (when have I ever said anything else?) 4-2 Homer, Hossa, Hudler, Hflip Barch, Niskanen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted January 29, 2009 My only prediction for tonight is that Downey won't be much use, mainly because Ott is a coward and won't fight, and Downey isn't good for much other than that. As always when I make a prediction against the Wings or a Wings player, I hope I eat crow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
