Wings win, Hank with the hat trick.

It'll have to happen sooner or later.

[I Red Wings I 40]

Detroit wins 4-1

[SDavis35 140]

If the Wings find a way to win; they become the first team to clinch a playoff spot.

[EuroTwin 240]

I'm feeling a hattrick for my dear Koko!

And another 60 minute effort and we'll be golden.

[Shaman 713]

Same prediction as yesterday

Hank with the hatty

Hossa with 1

Pavs with 1 and a fight

5-2 wings

[Wingsallwin 0]

This is a payback time. There is hell no understandable acception if the Wings lose again against this team by a big score or even a lose. The Red Wings have to show their best work here while the Blue Jackets are hard working team, harder when they play against us.

Either Conklin or Osgood should come up big and the Wings defenses have to take Nash and Vermette successfully. They are big cautions against the Wings.

Too bad Filp is out because he has been hot lately but the Wings got back Hossa and hope ZDH line is put together and the Wings should come up big to play very hard and no sloppy game anymore.

This is a revenge against the Blue Jackets. No joke game anymore. Come up big Red Wings.

Go Detroit Red Wings, I believe in you. Make a revenge against the Blue Jackets.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

Wings gotta win this one for me. The BJ fans are getting waaaaayyy too big of a head these days.

[Doc Holiday 0]

Hockeytown, I have a question: Are you normally the person who makes GDTs?

[40 Red Wings 13 1]

I'm feeling a hattrick for my dear Koko!

And another 60 minute effort and we'll be golden.

hahaha Koko, i love his new nickname i say 4-2 Wings

Zata x2, Dats, and Hoss

Go Wings!

PLUS: ANYONE GOING TO THE WINGS-FLYERS GAME??

[Electrophile 3,554]

s***, I just looked at the time the game starts.....hopefully I'll be able to catch most of it. I have to drive out to Raleigh to pick my sister up from the airport.

Watch, while I'm gone Hank will get his hat trick and I'll have missed it.

[Duck Guy 86]

Finally i get to wacth a game ... 6-2 wings victory..

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Hockeytown, I have a question: Are you normally the person who makes GDTs?

This season for the most part

[elriqo28 2]

I was supposed to go to this game...then was informed I could take no time off in March. I almost quit that day.

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

Excellent, Koko is catching on haha! Time to exact revenge!

Wings - 5 (Hudler, Datsyuk, Hossa, Homer, Lidstrom)

BJs - 1

[Taosuntzu 0]

One more point and the Red Wings become the first team to clinch a play-off spot of the 2008-2009 season.

All of you naysayers put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I'm listening! Let's hear the - "Our goaltenders suck, our defense is weak, our players aren't physical enough." whining. It takes all of those things and more to get an (x) in front of your games played statistic. Especially post salary cap era with more than 10 games left.

[#18 the _Hoss_ 2]

Since it worked yesterday.....

We can definitely win WITH Hossa.

= Bad combination

[55fan 5,133]

Hey! I've been using Koko (and Kokopuffs) since last season! Am I contagious?

I should get to see this one with my own eyes! I'm taking off for Mom's after church and getting there before game time. Can't wait!

Nash scores in the first 5 minutes. The GDT gets edgy. Predictions of doom and gloom come from the usual suspects. Hank scores 2 in the first. LGW starts thinking Arby's. Random people from both teams score in the 2nd and 3rd, but everyone is still thinking Arby's, except the usual suspects who are convinced that not only will they never get Arby's, they will never even see a cow. With the Wings up 9-7 in the waning moments of the game, Pavel goes down for the ENG, but passes it to Hank at the last second.

Choose your own ending.

Wow! Mindfly is predicting a loss...

Wow! Mindfly is predicting a loss...

No i'm just saying it doesn't look good considering all those facts.

[Doggy 130]

No i'm just saying it doesn't look good considering all those facts.

It's alright. You can always come back and edit the post to be more accurate after the game is over.

[Red Crazy 201]

Note to Red Wings- you may want to cover Rick Nash this game. Thank you.

p.s play defence, help Ozzie , and play for 60min and we should be fine.

[dat's sick 1,002]

A Wings hungry for revenge wins 14-3. Z, Dats, Hossa and Meech all pick up hat-tricks, with Lids getting the remaining 2.

For the BJ's, Nash has 2 goals and Williams 1.

Steve Mason somehow lets in 9 goals on the first 5 shots, and announces his retirement from hockey in the 1st intermission.
