Cern 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I'm hoping that the Wings remember their third-period collapse last time they played the Penguins and go out there looking to get their honor back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedisappearer 291 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 ZOMG CROSBY IS THE BEST EVA!!!!! I hear there may be players like Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Hossa, Malkin, and I hear they have some ability. CROSBY IS GOD!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Does anyone know who is starting in goal? Wings-Oils write up see last sentence: Babcock said he hadn't made up his mind whether to start Conklin or Chris Osgood in Pittsburgh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOwl 77 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I kind of want Ozzy to play, just so he can prove he can't be a starting NHL goalie anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 If the Wings are going to win this game, Malkin MUST be kept to the outside. Conklin needs to start Datsyuk / Hossa / Zetterberg have to step up and razzle dazzle them Keep Crosby away from the refs during the TV timeouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ComradeWasabi 109 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I would love it if Osgood was refocused and could pull off a shutout here following the comments Babs has made and the media's focus on that. 4-0 Wings, Ozzy in goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Wings take this one 14 to 3. Malkin takes a slapshot to the trachea, and is pronounced by the team doctors. No worries though, as Crosby says to the crowd, "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die," and raises him from the dead. The Pens still lose though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzersyukstromberg 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Wings win this one, by a score of 5-3. Zetterberg nets 2, Hossa 1, Datsyuk 1 and Filppula finally scores again. Ozzy gets the start and lets in his trade mark 3 goals but, once again, the Wings find a way to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I think the trouncing of the Oilers today boosted the Wings' confidence. We'll win no matter who's in net, and Hossa will exact vengence on his old team. Wings - 4 (Hossa, Datsyuk, Draper, Kronwall) Pens - 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
