Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Always a big game for me when the Wings play the Oil. I am hoping for a thrashing. If the 'Hawks and Sabres can score 9 and 10 goals on these losers, we should kill them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Looking forward to see how Helm fits in. Nice to have the luxury of these players being brought up due to the long term injuries now. Remember that the cap does not apply in the playoffs. Good time to bring up the youth. To bad Erickson is out with a wrist injury, hope to see him soon.

w1ng3dLV 3 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Glad that Helm and Leino are back in the lineup. I'm sure if it wasn't for his wrist, Ericsson would've been called up as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Wings win. Probably not very pretty, but a win's a win. I think at this point.....it's better than nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peleshob 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 I'd like to see a convincing win. Something along the lines of a 6-1 slapping. Z gets at least three points. Glad that Helm and Leino are back in the lineup. I'm sure if it wasn't for his wrist, Ericsson would've been called up as well. "Babcock indicated that defenseman Jonathan Ericsson, who's been battling a wrist injury, will be recalled soon from AHL affiliate Grand Rapids." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
