Mike 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 mickey said during the Dallas game that leino was in today right? He has to play now no matter what, with Zetterberg and Homer being out. Hudler might not play either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Too bad the game is on Saturday before noon (here). With all the crap I have to do today, no game for me. The game is in Washington, and it's cold and it's at noon. There may be more hockey players in attendance than there are fans. That might be a good thing. Hope the Wings are awake today, and good luck, Conks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Finally an early game! Will be a difficult game this one without Z and Homer.. but I'll go with a 4-3 Wings win. Datsyuk, Hossa, Sammy and Leino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilmrt 636 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Hey great, another weekend without a nationwide broadcast of any game Sorry folks, but Versus sucks in this respect, bigtime. How about a stream link for us out-of-market folks? Also, this should be a nice opportunity for Captain Nick to get the Wings' defense in order. FINALLY. GO CONKS!
