I Red Wings I 40 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Wow, look at those injuries the Blues have sustained. One of the hottest teams of late, Detroit can not go into Scottrade Center and expect anything to come by easy. Hossa is in the lineup, hopefully he can get this team rolling.

Wingsallwin 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Blues have been hot lately so the Wings have to careful on this road game. Still, good to see our injured pieces are coming back and have been except for Lilja. Just want to see some defenses pair changes: Lidstrom-Kronwall, Rafalski-Stuart, Ericsson-Chellios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroTwin 240 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Hossa has seven goals and Kopy has three. Pavel gets assists on all of them even though none of them play on the same line. It happens anyway. Also, please win. And play all three periods. There are three periods, guys, remember? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 The Blues are only 2 points out of the playoff picture right now. They are going to come out hard and not let up. The Wings need a full 60 minute effort this time, no sitting back. I hope Osgood has an amazing game and that the defense shows up so that he can have that amazing game.

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 I want to and will believe that Oz is going to have a great game. IF everyone else decides to show up. And I also fervently hope that somebody takes out hotshot-after-the-whistle Jackman. I mean, of course, if he starts something. After the whistle... which he will.

Cajanek_Spielmacher 47 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Detroit with 4 straight wins against the Blues but that ends this afternoon. Blues win 4-2 with an empty net goal by McClement. The Blues finish 8th and set up a revenge match against S.J. I remember who knocked out our only Presidents Trophy team and as much as I despise Detroit, we have beaten you in several playoff series. I want Tako or calamari for dinner and shark bites for Easter! "LET'S GO BLUES!" Edited March 14, 2009 by Cajanek_Spielmacher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 for the return of Hossa and the return of Homer to his rightful place on Datsyuk's wing! Wings - 4 (Hudler, Sammy, Ericsson, Datsyuk) Blues - 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winged_Wheeler 3 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Babcock is such an idiot...split up Datsyuk and Zetterberg? Cleary a second liner? Filppula on the third line? What a joke... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak19 303 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Babcock is such an idiot...split up Datsyuk and Zetterberg? Cleary a second liner? Filppula on the third line? What a joke... Agreed, yes babs the problem last game was having Dats and Zata together......... wtf? Hossa plays better on a line when he can be the one doing everything. Oh ya lets keep Stuart and Kronwall together, hey this was part of the problem last game. Now lets see here, babcock changes the line that was good and keeps together the d-pairing that was a huge problem last game, yep that makes sense. Im starting to question his coaching. Rafalski needs to play with Stuart, Kronwall with Ericsson and Lidstrom with Ledba, yes Lebda with Lidstrom! Wings better win this game because its the blues and we own them.
