I hope Hossa will be back soon, while the wings can win without him, Id rather see them win with him

Predictions, Conklin with a great game, Leino continues to show what great scouts we have, and Z picks up 2 points.

[seeinred 1,488]

Let's go with 14 to 3.

And THIS time, Tootoo gets injured. Severely.

[Salviaman 104]

Wings will win.

Red Wings: 5

(Goals by Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Leino, Franzen, Zetterberg)

Predators: 2

(Goals by Weber, Dumont)

[Electrophile 3,554]

Wings win, Hank with the hat trick.

Hey, it has to happen eventually.

[EuroTwin 240]

Wings win 6-2.

Draper Shorthanded Hattrick.

Lilja with 6 assists.

Tootoo tries to take a run at Pavel, who slips out of the way just as Tootoo rams himself into the boards, face first. Pavel then scores a goal.

[AtomicPunk 296]

Sorry, didnt read the bit at the very top. It's late and I am sleepy. Wings win 3-1. Dats has 2 and Nick gets one.

Back to back games stink.

Wings will win seven to three.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Wonder if Lebda's about to get Wally Pipp'ed? Meech looked really good last night.

Big win tonight, boyz! Tootoo is a noo-noo!! Shut 'em down, and send them packing.

Picking up Leino didn't have much to do with Red Wings' scouts. He was the MVP of one of the best leagues in Europe and still undrafted. Many teams were after him.

Few thoughts from the enemy here on game day.

1. the picture above me is from a charity event, so I wouldn't put much stock in it

2. Martin Erat strained his groin but will probably play, so look for him to be limited

3. Rinne is still playing out of his mind.

4. We may call someone up today if it happens that Erat can't go, look for Cal O'Reilly.

5. Being just 1 point out of 8th and it a Saturday night, look for a VERY loud arena.

6. Can't give you our lines today, they've been shuffled like mad lately with Bonk out and then maybe Erat, and Koistenen logged time at forward also.

7. Poile came out and said we are now buying and looking for a forward. Names dropped were Jokinen, Smyth, and Antropov in today's paper.

My 12-year old daughter just loves "Mr. No Neck" and I have no idea why, lol. I like him too. Seems like a very nice coach when I've seen him interviewed.

[Hiei 192]

Ryan Smyth would be a good pickup for Nashville. Gives them some secondary scoring and playmaking behind Dumont and Arnott.

Wings 6

Preds 2

Rinne gets yanked after 5 goals on 25 shots.

Conklin stops 29.

[Vladifan 680]

Tootoo's full of poopoo and our Conks can take on Bonk.

Arnott simply cannot since he's mainly just a wonk.

The Wings will whup their butts and whap them right upside their heads

And the Preds will overdose on meds and probably wet their beds.

[Guest Shoreline]

I have nothing cute or fancy to say, so I'll just say f*** the Predators and Let's Go Wings!

Two things:

Bonk's out, so that won't work.

No Red Wing on your team can whap anyone upside the head. You're a very artsy team. As we call it on the Preds board....its *** hockey, brought to you by the team with *** uniforms!

Neener neener back atchya.

So Bonk's out. Who the hell else was I gonna try to rhyme with Conks? Huh? OK, so I didn't know. And yes, I'm gonna have to live with that the rest of my life.

"***"? ... Aha! That must be it! Our guys fly so fast up and down the ice that your boyz can't seem to catch 'em. Wow. Never looked at it that way. Thanks for the warped but valuable perspective.

"*** uniforms"? Helleuuu?! Better red than wearing a color that matches something I've already eaten. :puke:

Meanwhile, I really do enjoy your visits. For a Preds' fan you seem quite classy.

[Vladifan 680]

Yeah, and thanks to both of you now I have to go look up "Haiku". Again.

....Like I didn't have better things to do today....hrrrrrrrrmmmphhhh.....

Nice work, the both of ya's.

There is so much FAIL in this post, I can not begin to address it all.

Hahahaha. Your uniforms are silver, yellow, and blue. Get real.

Also, "artsy" hockey is better than a first-round exit every year.

[ComradeWasabi 109]

*** uniforms?

Get real, dude
