[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Love the game day threads

[Echolalia 2,961]

Is it confirmed that Howard will be playing or is that an assumption?

Love the game day threads

Thanks

Let's start the countdown to when Hawk fans arrive, proclaiming that the Central crown was officially transferred over on Sunday night.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Is it confirmed that Howard will be playing or is that an assumption?

Has been confirmed per MLive.

[blankrap 9]

Is it confirmed that Howard will be playing or is that an assumption?

Mlive says:

Babcock said he hadn't decided who Ritola will play with. He skated with Valtteri Filppula on Tuesday, but Filppula won't return until Saturday against Columbus, as long he is cleared, as expected, by doctors on Wednesday.

Jimmy Howard will start in goal.

Hockeytown... give it a good twenty minutes

[Echolalia 2,961]

Has been confirmed per MLive.

Oddly enough I feel relieved to hear this news. I'm hoping Jimmy is ready for the real test, and that the boys are playing for pride tonight.

Good GDT as always

[Vladiator 116]

This is seriously a statement game against the Hawks. Even with close to half of the starting lineup out, I really think that the Wings can take this game in the Joe.

GO WINGS!!!!!

Im excited to see Hossa get shut down !

[Cern 0]

I'll be honest, I don't think we're gonna win this one. Our second line is Leino-Abdelkader-Miller ffs.

[FinWing 26]

"Last Game: Defeated CHI 3-0". I wish! Payback time!

[Feldmarschall 9]

I just hope it's not a snoozefest like the last game was. I was struggling to stay awake from the boredom. 3-0 was actually flattering. It was a 1-0 game, and a tedious one at that. Kinda like watching Minnesota-New Jersey in their respective defensive pinnacles.

[Guest mindfly]

This will be as ugly as the last one

3-1 blackhawks.

[FinWing 26]

May-Ritola-Maltby? Wouldn't it make more sense to play Ritola with Eaves who can do something with the puck too?

[dat's sick 1,002]

Steal a point here and I'm happy. Hawks played a tough game last night so hopefully they're a bit tired this time around.

At this point Ritola is here to do nothing but fill an empty spot. Babs is not expecting him to put up points. All we need is for him to go out there and make sure Chicago doesnt score when he is on the ice. This is the reason we did not call up Williams.

[shoe 165]

Heres to hoping the sharks wore them out not pissed em off, good chance to try and get those 2 points back tonight.
