Hopefully Howard impresses. Good thing is, he also has some pressure to perform so we'll see if it helps his game any.

I expect the defense wants to make the game easy for Jimmy, so they should be on their heads as well.

So Leino is the latest to be shafted by Kopecky, good stuff. I hoe Boogaard bumps into him so he gets absolutely smashed. Man oh man.

But with the way Jimmy played last season, I think we're gonna get a big win tonight. Cleary and Zetterberg always play great versus Minnesota, so I expect the top line to make some magic tonight.

Maltby is in for Leino tonight; Babcock says he wants to get a rotation going on the 4th line for the time being.

Why oh WHY can't they put Leino AND Maltby AND Drapes on the fourth line? It worked well before so what the hey??!! Yeah, I know it might be taken as a demotion for Leino, but it would probably make that line a force again.

But do they call? HELL no!

Really hope Jimmy can get a win tonight, seems like he always plays a good game yet our team finds a way to lose whenever he's in net.

I hope Filppula scores a goal tonight just to piss off the LGW members. I would hope for him to score a hat trick, but I think that would be catastrophic to the forum for many years to come.

I will be one of the first to whoop, yeehaa and holler if he scores. Yeah, you won't hear me but you may feel the vibrations.

You're joking, right? On the first part and in bold, I hope..

4-3 Wings, Helm with his first regular season goal.

I'm thinking 3-2 Wings because of the Wild's stupid, boring defensive play. I'd love to be wrong about how Howard plays. Fine with me if he gets a shutout ahready.

This is an interesting night as both Sharks and Bruins are playing too. Trashers-Sharks game is still 0-0 after two periods. Bruins-Panthers game starts at 7:00 pm.

NHL.com preview says that Conklin will propably start even though it was made known couple of days ago that Howard would start this game. Not the first fact they've gotten wrong.

Howards record with Detroit is 1-4 I think, it's a B2B game, in Minnesota, and they're out of the picture by 2 points. Well hopefully Detroit plays great, I don't think it's an easy win as everyone implies, might get a little sloppy. Go Wings!

Other than wins-losses Howard's numbers are good. I don't think I've even seen him play before so I'm looking forward to it.

It seems now, that Red Wings won't surpass Sharks tonight. They're leading 3-1.

Mikko Koivu misses the game due to a police interview for being associated with someone who is associated with someone who is associated with someone who may have committed a crime.

Not going to be an easy game. Mild score first and play a conservative game after that.

Wings manage a Pasha Magic goal, and then in the final minute, the Wings are attempting to change and the puck flies towards the bench, hits Kopy, bounces off of his stick, hits Flip in the butt, and Lilja recovers it and flies in for the GWG.
