May is in? Nice.

Go Wings!

[Carman 387]

8-1 victory with Holmstrom scoring on his own net via frustration.

[hooon 1,089]

I like May in the lineup, but I hope they keep maltby in over eaves. Right now he is our team leader in offense, and until he proves otherwise, let him play.

GO WINGS!

[FinWing 26]

haha, since when is Kopecky good enough to talk like that?

Time to kick his and everyone else's ass right back to Chicago.

[Guest gofish]

haha, since when is Kopecky good enough to talk like that?

Since he was such a dominant force in the 3-5 games he actually wore the winged-wheel last year. lol

[Mors 201]

This game is crucial after embarrassing performances against the Blues, especially for special teams and Osgood.

[purebooyah 1]

"It'll be fun, and more fun when we beat them," Kopecky told the Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday.

He also said....

“It would be great if we win,'' Kopecky said. "They are always a hard team to beat. All the teams are always measuring (themselves against) the Detroit Red Wings. When you beat them, it’s a great feeling.’’

What is he talking about. He hasn't even played against Red Wings yet.

[hak 21]

I hope the wings responds well to the two early losses. I will keep an extra eye on May and Osgood this game!

4-2 wings.

[sputman 1,268]

streamy stream?

I have a stinging feeling that even if the Blackhawks do manage to beat us tonight, the pylon known as Tomas Kopecky will have played no part in said victory. Good riddance.

[b-random 0]

What is he talking about. He hasn't even played against Red Wings yet.

Haha, what a dummy. I think it's obvious that he's a bit sour about the wings not trying to resign him. I can't really blame him, wings management has actually been quoted in saying "he's replaceable".

I'm gonna be at the game and I'm gonna help make sure Patrick Kane knows how big of a tool we (I) think he is.

My satellite's reception to NHL Network has been gimped the last few weeks so hopefully Center Ice can chip in. No person comes out til Friday, and I wanna see the Wings stick it to Hossa and big mouth Kopecky.

[stevieisthebest 80]

Going to BWW for the game tonight.... with some blackhawk "freinds..." wings win 4-2

GO WINGS

[deetroit dario 27]

if there aren't any 20-cent signs tonight, i'm leaving you all for the coyotes.

(not really...but i am feeling some yote-love after last night)

Hossa's hurt.

Question to my local friends, I'm going to the game tonight and this is the first time I've had a chance to go to a home opener. Does anyone have an idea what time all of the team introductions and festivities start? Or in short, do I need to show up earlier than a normal regular season game? I normally get there about 30 min early. Thanks in advance.

[robat 13]

Billy Mays knows what's up.

didn't know you were on here.

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Wings 4 (Z, Cleary, Franz, Raffy)

Hawks 1 (who cares)

[The Mule 0]

didn't know you were on here.

What's up, dude? Long time no talk.

[Rivalred 630]

If the boys do not turn over the puck, make smart passes, and keep out of the box they will have a good chance at winning.

[germanwing 154]

1st win tonight!

Wings 3

Hawks 2

[OsGOD 3]

Hossa's hurt.

warmups usually go about 30-45mins before the drop of the puck... doors open about 1 hour before game time... i would say get there 1-1/2 hours early to make sure you miss nothing.

its pretty nice outside anyways.

[Vladifan 680]

I think that it is a shame to sit Maltby, when he's had a good start to the season and had a good post-season. If this is his last year (looks likely, and it's definitely a contract year), give him all the chances you can for him to play his heart out - that is, until he does something (or fails to do something) and therefore merits benching.

I totally and unalterably (yeah, THAT much) agree with you and hooon (later post in this thread) on keeping Maltby in the game. It makes no sense whatsoever to take him out at this point since he has been a major offensive player for the Wings. Can't even figure out why Babcock is even contemplating taking him out. There will always be time for Eaves later.
