Mike 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I hope that Jimmy has a good game. I want him to succeed in the NHL. Wings defense continues to play strong and the offense continues to fire on all cylinders, especially on the power play. 3-1 Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 I'm thinking it will be Maltby or Kopecky...Drapes is needed for faceoffs. Tonight is the night Pasha will get career point #500. I hope the guys save the puck for him. He came close last night, but tonight is definitely the night. GO WINGS!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
