EuroTwin 240 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Think they will have their Black Beards on??? I would DIE LAUGHING the whole game if they all wore those during the game. OR, OR if the coaching staff wore the beards AND those crazy cowboy hats they had on during the Winter Classic. Wings win 18-1, Pavel getting 10 points to reach 101. Hank gets six goals but it doesn't count as a hattrick as the ref waves off four because Homer was sitting on the bench. The people of Michigan go hungry for Arbys again. Kokopuffs gets 18 assists. Conklin plays the whole game half asleep, scaring the crap out of everyone on the boards. There is a meltdown when we give the Blues a pity goal, even though we're still 17 goals ahead of them.

reedlarson 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I agree, I'm tired of being longer-basted with Arbys. Anyways, this should be a nice game. Hank, Sammy, Malts and Kronwall with the goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I think blues win this one, it's a must win for them since they lost to chicago, red wings aint in desperation mode, they wanna cruise for the rest of the season and avoid hits... 4-3 blues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aflac9262 211 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 This is going to be a tough game. You have a real desperate team fighting for a playoff spot, and then you have a complacent team who has been playing like there's not much to worry about. Hopefully the Wings can win and at least try to stay alive for the #1 seed, but the importance if that is even up for debate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really care who wins, just no effing injuries! and a billion Fights! Give me a reason to skip going to Windsor to see the Whalers tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Waste money? I'd KILL to see the Wings for 22 bucks a ticket. You guys are spoiled as far as hockey tix are concerned, Canucks tickets are daylight robbery. You missed my point... paying to see a lackluster meaningless game is a waste of money. and the $22 seats are the only reason I bought these tickets. The normal price without this package is $54... Now see there is also another item that comes into play. after i bought these tickets, The Spitfires announced Game 1 versus the Whalers would also be tonight in Windsor. Personally i think there is a lot more action to be had going to that game where both teams actually care at this stage of the game. Thats the reason I say a waste. because if the same ol' wings of the past few games show up... is it really fun to watch in person? I don't need a win to be happy... i just require some sort of action and a little bit of effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enforcer#24 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 St. Louis will give everything they can to beat us and to get a PO spot. Good for us that this is not much though...

Krystal 41 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I have a funeral in a couple of hours - so I'm gonna need the boys to come out swingin' tonight and light the lamp for me. Unfortunately, I might not even get to SEE the game... since I'll be at league. I'll have access to catching it on FSN-Midwest (blech..) but I doubt the alley will change the channel off of basketball. But if my brother is working, I might get a pity change in there. Or I might bring my laptop... hell, it's been what, 4 days since we played last? I need my damn hockey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creedie 2 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I was at the Blues/Hawks game last night and it was hard to sit there and watch - I ended up leaving after the second. The blues didn't have a shot on goal for over 20 min - 3 shots in the first and 4 in the second - they even went shotless on a four min powerplay! Chicago was not much better, but managed to get the puck in the net. I thought it would be a great game considering their position, but I guess they failed to get the memo that they need to win! IF SL puts forth the effort they did last night this one should be a lock. Looking forward to watching the wings put in a full team effort and walking away with the win!

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 Another lackluster effort by the Wings allows St. Louis to remain in the playoff hunt by gaining a valuable 2 points. OR After deciding that losing really sucks, the Wings decide to play inspired hockey and deprive the Blues of a much needed win. I can't decide how it'll go, but I'll be glued to the tv.
