seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 Lilja is going to blow Carcillo's face up on the 1st shift. He'll then tell him that to spare any further pain, he's got to score on himself 14 times. He feels he has no other choice, and the Wings walk out of there with a 14 to 3 win.

Wings still win, 14-3... with Kirk Maltby netting 10 empty net goals. maybe Maltby will find a way to beat Lemieux's record of 5 different ways to score a goal in one game. Maybe in game he will dress as a goalie and score a goal that way too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 I will be there tonight, so let's hope that the six goal charm is in effect again for us. And Pasha, I'd be very tickled if you'd throw in a goal or two for me...three would be nice, but I won't be greedy... Oh hell, yes I will...go for the hattie, baby!

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 Really excited to see Helm play. Despite the fact he's only 21 and hasn't played that many games for the Wings he's already one of my favourite players. I just love the way he plays the game, everytime he's out on the ice he's making something happen. Go get 'em Helm! Hopefully the Wings can get a solid victory here, unlike the one against the Blues. I say we win 5-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

digitaljohn88 4 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 depends on who the goalie is...if its Ozzie you can be sure 3 goals will be given up. If it is Conklin who knows whats going to happen! cause Conklin didn't let in 5 against this exact team Let's hope for a good defensive performance with solid goaltending whether it's Osgood, Conklin, or Patrick Roy in our net.

96warrior 11 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 Ville Leino scratched tonight for Red Wings by Ansar Khan Wednesday February 04, 2009, 11:19 AM Update from Wednesday's morning skate: Ville Leino is the odd-man out tonight for the Wings, as Darren Helm, recalled from Grand Rapids Tuesday, will be inserted into the lineup against Phoenix. "He's been so good, a goal and an assist, a plus-2,so I scratched him today,'' coach Mike Babcock said. "That didn't really make any sense, but he'll be back in the next game (Saturday vs. Edmonton). "He's been really good, (has) good puck skills, good determination on the puck. As he gets used to the league, he'll get quicker, but he's an NHL player, he's going to be a point-producer.'' Babcock said Helm will be "warming up'' on a line with Jiri Hudler and Mikael Samuelsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) After perusing LGW, Kronwall and Kopecky are hurt and angry. Kronwall gets a hat trick; Kopecky gets the GHHT. Wings win 5-0. (Kron x 3, Kopy, Draper with the ENG) Oh, make that 8-0. Pasha realizes Pat is there and gets a hattie for her too. EDIT: I just woke up, so if my counting and math is off, let me slide, ok? It was a late night last night. Edited February 4, 2009 by 55fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 What the...? Man, I was really looking forward to seeing a line of Leino-Z-Hossa. I thought, "Finally, Babs pairs Z with someone who be a substitute Datsyuk." And Z actually declared that he was looking forward to playing with him. But no. Whatever. Doesn't make any sense from my end. I guess he really wants to get Kopy some confidence. Either that or he's showcasing him for a trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
