[Aussie_Wing 354]

Live into Australia you beauty!

Hoping for some Datsyuk magic and a nice showing by Eaves with hopefully a point.

[VM1138 1,921]

Central matchup, must win for the Wings. It's kind of sad we're getting "must win" games in November.

Pretty evenly matched on paper, but they have the typical "hot young goalie" so we'll see. I have faith!

[zata20 4]

I'll be at the game! They better fricken win. The Predators always play them tough in Nashville. I hate their damn fans too!!

[Carman 387]

Oh man Nashville has no injuries? Wow their whole team must be enforcers I guess.

Oh goodie, playing in Nashville....we'll get to hear all their juvenile chants. Hopefully none of the Preds players do something stupid and injure another Wings

[ilmickeyli 40]

[55fan 5,133]

Please win, Wings.

Wings 1: Homer

Preds 1: Arnott

Shootout: Homer in the 12th round.

Final score: Wings 2, Preds 1

[Guest ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

not too mention those irritating whistles or whatever they play...

anywho ill be watching this but ill be also be watching the start of the pitt/florida game as i am curious as to what floridas 3rd jersey will look like...

but i have this gut feeling we will win tonight

go wings!

[Carman 387]

May better be in tonight. I don't want Tootoo free roaming tonight.

[redwingfan19 293]

wtf why scratch may?!

because babcock wants the other team to know that they will not be held accountable for cheapshotting. Not saying may would prevent it but the preds won't have to think twice about there actions if a dirty play is made and wont have to answer the bell

[Echolalia 2,961]

wtf why scratch may?!

Because he's itchy.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

May better be in tonight. I don't want Tootoo free roaming tonight.

There haven't been any updates in the starting lines, usually reported from the Red Wings practice article on MLive.com. I agree though, May needs to be in tonight.

[FinRedWing 172]

Ugh,a Central team. Must win then. Most likely will be"loving" the Tootoo whistles again.

4-3 Wings.

Live into Australia you beauty!

Hoping for some Datsyuk magic and a nice showing by Eaves with hopefully a point.

Enjoy the game,Aussie!

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Come on boys! Win this one for me!

[uk_redwing 495]

May is IN tonight folks. Dont worry. Maltby is a healthy scratch (per MLive)

And as for someone saying Nashville has no injuries...they have one of the top enforcers on their team in Wade Belak. Make of it what you will. (Dont reply to this statement I wont read it and dont want to derail the thread)

[skyphoenix 153]

Not a big deal but the Defense pairings are

Lidstrom - Ericsson

Lebda - Rafalski

Meech - Stuart

Nashville is on a big win-streak right now and they are 9-2 in their last 11 games. Hopefully the Wings come out with a couple early goals to command the game and don't let up.

[drumnj 459]

So aparently McCarty is going to be a color analyst on Versus tonight. Links:

[russianswede919293 95]

Three things:

#1 Maltby is the healthy scrath tonight so the last line will be Miller-Abdelkader-May

#2 Congrats to D-Mac on his first day on the new job

#3 GO WINGS WIN TOniGHT

[skyphoenix 153]

This ******* sucks. I'm not going to get to watch the game because the bowling alley I work at has DirecTV. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on ESPN Scorecenter on my phone.

Man, the way Stuart has been playing I hate to see him on the bottom pairing. I'd rather see him w/ Lidstrom to be honest.

[uk_redwing 495]

Those defensive pairings are making me CRINGE.
