4/6 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Sabres 1

[chrisdetroit 189]

I don't think I can trust Osgood in back-to-back games.

The offense will have to put on a show tonight for the wings to win.

Excuse me, but you are at the wrong thread. This is the GDT. The Osgood bashing threads are over there - threads number 1-1786. You can't miss them they are right next to the team defense bashing threads numbers 1787-3462.

stay healthy and we win... regardless of the scoreboard

these final games can't end soon enough.

I understand your worried about Health of the players and injuries and such.

BUT- The guys need to win a few games in a row to get some momentum going into the playoffs, Don't you think?

The Scoreboard MUST show a Wings win....Bigger the better.....

I'm not saying Win at all costs and injure your self.. But Momentum is a Need going into the playoffs.. Just my Opinion

Even though i thought detroit looked pretty good yesterday this is the most important game of the season for buffalo and they will be so freakin' desperate and miller usually plays awesome against detroit.... flip a coin, there's the winner.

I've watched the Sabres all year (I live in Rochester) and when the pressure is on, the Sabres wilt I'd say about 4 out of 5 times. Occasionally they give a good performance in a pressure situation, or when adversity strikes, but for the most part this team has poor veteran leadership. If the Sabres were a bit further out of the playoffs, I think they'd play loose and win. As it is, since they can technically win the rest of their games and hope some other teams go .500, they will not bring a full effort.

This will be my first Wings game I see in person in quite a few years so I'm pumped!

[HanKarin40 7]

Yeah, it would be nice to put together a string of wins as the regular season winds down. It would give the boys a little swagger and confidence going into the post season. Just not too much confidence, cause we all know how that usually ends.

Hoping for a solid performance from the WHOLE team! Think this will be a close one.

Wings win it 4-3

The Wings beat the Hawks last year on April 6th.

I'm glad this isn't a playoff game. On this date: ten games played, ten losses.

[Guest Shoreline]

I'm sure glad this isn't a preseason game. On this date the Wings have never recorded a preseason win.

Ozzy's last back-to-back:

Mar 15 @ COB W 4-0 1.000%

Mar 14 @ STL W 5-2 .938%

Have a little faith!

...and here's to free arby's...i dont care who does it.

Yes GDT, I believe it was a mistake for Babcock to play a tired Osgood today as opposed to a rested Conklin.

But I suppose to each his own?

Cheers Chris.

I laughed.

This post FTW!!

Wings pull out a close one 3 - 2. Or 4 - 2 with an empty net.

[Zion 93]

Wings 6 - Slugs 3

Let's go Wings!!! Squash those slugs and eliminate them from the playoff race! I DO NOT want to see those ugly jerseys anymore this season!! Knock them out!

Wings will wear the white jerseys (because my wife and I are wearing ours) and the Sabres wear their blue 3rd jerseys (retro).

Wings win 21-1 (Franzen lets one in).

Umm, no, Miller sucks against us:

Ryan Miller is 1-4 vs Detroit with a 3.99 goals against and .887 save percentage.

That being said:

5-2 wings, with Pavel with 2 goals and 3 assists, NO ARBY'S but 100 points for Pavel!!

[chelios4eva 0]

Chelios WILL score

Wings win 3-1

Zetts, Hossa and Chelios, Pavs gets 2 assists

[Guest E_S_A_D]

I wonder what the ratings for tv will be for this one considering MSU Basketball game at 9 pm/ 3rd period, and Tiger's opening day at 7.

Tired Osgood? He faced 23 shots. That's not exactly "wear-out" numbers.

Wings win, Hank with the hat trick yada yada yada.

Let's continue with that "winning" thing we did yesterday.

[Guest mindfly]

okay usually wasn't the right word but he faced 40+ shots and let 2-3 goals the last two games against them what i can recall, thats great.

Sigh. I knew when I saw mindfly was the last poster I'd be in for a dash of pro-Wings optimism.

[Zion 93]

Listening to WGR550 right now, and it's all doom-and-gloom about tonight's game. I think they're hoping for the jinx and that the Red Wings come out flat and the Sabres get lucky.

[Zion 93]

Leaving shortly... SEE YOU THERE!!!!

[Winged_Wheeler 3]

Wings win 4-0.

Franzen, Hossa, Filppula, Zetterberg.

I am willing to be that at some point during tonight's game, Conklin will replace Osgood.
