I cant wait for this game, if the wings can get a good win streak going, it'll start to get the bad taste of the season's start out of everyone's mouth i believe.

They already have a lot of confidence from the last couple of games, so hopefully a win over the Sharks will keep that going. It should be interesting to see if defensively we will be up to the task of shutting down Heatley-Thornton & Co.

[HOCKEY MATTERS 167]

Wings are going up against a good, producing offense tonite. I hope the D is up to the task. Didn't see the projected lines.... how is Mays' eye?

[ltgator333 3]

HUGE game.. oh I cannot wait! And I'm stuck home for the day so that'll make it even worse..

LETS GO WINGS!

Still injured, won't be playing tonight

[Buppy 1,720]

Not to nitpick...but Datsyuk now leads the team with 10 assists.

This should be a real test for the Wings, assuming San Jose isn't too worn out.

Got it in there now, forgot to check the updated stats

[kylee 727]

possibly going to this one; another looking to sell/get rid of two tickets?

should be a good indicator as to how the Wings are playing against a comparable top-tier team in terms of current play and overall talent.

[kylee 727]

that is one weird arrangement of a top six for sure...

[RedWingsRox 614]

Welcome back Todd! Miss you behind the bench but if we can't win the Cup, then I root for you and your team to.

It'll be a tough game tonight, will be hard but is possible if we play a full game. No predictions either.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Really looking forward to both this game and the one against Toronto saturday. This is obviously the bigger test for the Wings, but both of them should be fun games.

Sharks are playing good, they have like 6 straight wins I believe? Nabby is playing good, Marleu is on fire... shutting these guys down is a whole different thing than shutting down the decimated and struggling Bruins. If Raffi, Kronner and Ericsson are back it will indeed help. Hopefully Big E shows that our defense playing so good without him was a coincidence, and I want to see Ozzie put together another solid game.

Z had an awesome game last meeting against the Sharks, he was great against the Bruins, and he usually steps up for these big games.

2 goals by him, 1 from Datsyuk and 1 from Bertuzzi for a 4-2 win.

We will hold you to that

[13dangledangle 968]

Not that he has "earned it" yet but I think leino should be moved up so he's with Z and clears. Willy should go back with maltby and Abbs. I think Leino and Z could get someting going together, and Z needs a partner again cause his game works best when he has someone he meshs with...just a thought
