Been waiting for this game!

Go Kesler

Wings....don't suck!

[ilmickeyli 40]

The wings will suck.. We've been told to expect less, so instead of hoping for the best, I'm now expecting it (less).

Anything else, well, that would be a suprise

[FinRedWing 172]

Didn't Kenny say they were looking to win 3 games in this road trip?

Well let's start sweeping Western Canada then. Go Wings!

lmao... now that the spirit!

I concur another over a shutout loss is fine by me! at least we can say... "hey they got one!"

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

Please don't let you-know-who score a goal on us.

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

The start of this thread is as uplifting as sitting down at one's desk on a Monday morning.

Continue the SOG outburst from last game, flood the net and *stay there*.......the goals will come. A little more urgency in our own zone and smarter passes leaving it. 60 minutes!

[FinWing 26]

These Western Canada trips are always tough, hopefully the guys will be pissed off and show what they're made of.

Try not to block Sammy's shots with your legs, arms or face. We don't need anymore injuries!

PLAY 60 MINUTES!! WIN!!!

Wings lose per usual, they might get a lead but then blow it in 3rd and lose in OT/SO or they will hammer Luongo with shots but don't have any offense what so ever so nucks win 3-1 or something.

Hmm.. Luongo's been hot the last couple of games. Don't like how the Wings constantly run into hot goaltenders.

Going with a 3-2 Win. Sammy with 2 goals, Zetterberg scores them all for the Wings.

Zetterberg... hat-trick? when did that happend last time? He's done in the goal-scoring department atleast this season, he is lucky if he gets 20goals this season.

you jinxing bastard, I was trying not to use the h-word. it's your fault if he doesn't get them goals.

Where do you come up with this garbage? Based on what is he lucky if he gets 20 goals this season?

The guy hasn't scored less than 31 the past 4 seasons and all of a sudden because you're Debbie-Downer he's gonna be lucky to net 20? Stop being the melodramatic member you constantly like to come off as. It's one thing if there's substance behind your claim. This one, there isn't.

[Guest mindfly]

He has too much defensive responsibilities this year so his offense will be a letdown, like it was last season, but of course even worse now with all the departures of good players and some injurys to good players.

He's always been one of the most defensively responsible players on the Wings....that hasn't changed simply because some players have left. He's playing alongside Datsyuk (atm) who he has always been known to have chemistry second to none with...and logic as well as history shows those two will break out at some point. Perhaps the his numbers may drop a shade due to the team not being as strong as years past, but making a claim that he'll be lucky to score just about half of what he normally does is absolutely ridiculous and almost comes off as flame-baiting.

It's like going on Pittsburgh's forums and telling them Crosby will be lucky if he gets 35 assists this year.

[Guest mindfly]

Oh well we'll see at the end of the year how many he scored.. i'm prepared to eat crow if you are too? I say 23goals.

[dat's sick 1,002]

I'll bet an off-season ban that he's gonna score more than 25.

[Guest mindfly]

I'll bet an off-season ban that he's gonna score more than 25.

More than just 25? why don't you be more honest and say 35-40 as you seem to predict hat-tricks and multi point games every other game...
