Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 What are you top five most anticipated games of the season? 1. Pens at Wings (Mar 22): its the last time that the Pens and Wings match up for the season, so hopefully bad blood will be around from the previous game. This game is also about 10 games away from the end of the season, so it may be crucial to where each of us end up playoff-wise 2. Pens at Flyers (oct 8): The Flyers look like the Ducks in terms of goonery, and under Burke, they might be able to go far into the playoffs with that style of play. It'll be fun to see how they stack up to the Champs, and whether the decide to play to their fullest physical potential. This year, I'm a Flyers' fan. 3. Blackhawks at Detroit (oct 8): First game between the two teams that everyone seems to think will be representing the Western Conference in this year's postseason. It'll also be fun to verse Hossa and Kopecky. 4. Flyers at Boston (Jan 1): Winter Classic! Hopefully some fisticuffs, also. 5. Flames at Wings (Mar 9): I didn't know whether to be more excited to verse the Flames, Ducks, or Sharks, but it seems like the Ducks and Sharks, while still competitive, are on their way down, and the Flames improved in the offseason, imo. I think they're going to be the surprise team from the WC this year, but I could also very well be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedFX 48 Report post Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) 1. Sun. 1/30: @ Pittsburgh-First shot at revenge, at their den no less. Based on date and time, this looks like an NBC game 2. 11/23, 12/12, 3/27: @ Nashville- #1, the only time I get to see the Wings in person, #2 Living in Nashville, bragging rights are always on the line as a result of these 3. 10/8: vs. Chicago- Last year's WCF really did bring this rivalry back to full intensity. Come to think of it, Did Chicago make any big moves this offseason? 4. 3/22: vs. Pittsburgh- Mr. Crosby, meet the Detroit faithful 5. 11/3: vs. Boston- always liked the Bs for some reason. Original 6 matchup...Also could be looking at the class of the East Outside of the Wings, the Winter Classic is always a must see. Plus, the Pittsburgh/Washington matchups have really developed into some of the best games you'll see all year. Edited July 16, 2009 by RedFX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get back to Detroit for this game!! I'm also very much looking forward to the Islander's home opener. Since moving to New York I've made it to at least one Islanders game each year. ...and I've got a good chance of getting some great seats for Tavares' first home game on the Isle through a hook-up. Never been to a season opener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oct 3rd against the Blues 3-5 : everything else I think it'd be awesome if some of the fans wrote a song to sing/chant for the Wings. Think it'll happen? If so then you better get to work!
