[acidroach420 25]

Brad May scores tonight.

This

I remember last game when him and eaves were in front of the net on that tip in goal I was like MAYDAY!! because it looked like he got his stick on it but eaves got it lol

I really hope may can get at least a goal this year and a team like the islanders and caolina could be his chance.

Go Wings!

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Ville Leino will return to the lineup for the Detroit Red Wings tonight against the New York Islanders, replacing Brad May. That's the only change for Detroit, which will start the game with the same lines and defense pairings it's been using lately:

Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Zetterberg

Cleary-Filppula-Miller

Draper-Helm-Eaves

Leino-Abdelkader-Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Meech-Stuart

Lebda-Janik

Howard (starting)

Osgood

The Islanders (19-19-8) are in last place in the Atlantic Division, but are 6-2-1 in their last nine games.

"They've been real good in this last while,'' Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "Their fourth line, with (Josh) Bailey and (Rob) Schremp has really scored for them. Their specialty teams seem to be rolling. (Dwayne) Roloson has given them solid goaltending. I just like what they're doing. They got a youthful group that can skate. The whole team looks like it's a first-round pick. They got some skill and they're going to be a test for us.''

Kyle Okposo has a goal in each of the last three games. John Tavares has 16 goals and 29 points, tied for the rookie scoring lead with Matt Duchene of Colorado.

"(Tavares) is a gifted, gifted scorer with an elite mind for the game,'' Babcock said.

garbage..... at least put leino on the second line if he is going to play, he is useless on the 4th line

[FinRedWing 172]

Please win it for my birthday or I'll be offended.

Technically it's played on my Birthday,since it's starts here past midnight on the 13th.. But you can have this one,buddy!

It doesn't mean they're directly subbing Leino in for May on the fourth line, it just means to say that Ville will be rejoining the team for tonight's game at the expense of May. The Islanders are hardly a tough team, so I daresay we'll see Leino on one of the top three lines tonight.

[Wingnut in WA 86]

Cmon boys we win and we slip into the 8th seed!!!!!!!

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

That was just 8 games, bra.

So nearly 10% of the season shouldn't matter, but then we also shouldn't be able to take away 10% from his goal total to balance things out?

That seems fair.

/sarcasm

[Russian Houdini 8]

Tonight's the night for an offensive explosion.

Someone gets a hat trick and I get some fries.

Indeed!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha

Will be watching this game online.. cannot wait. LETS GO WINGS!

The Islanders are so soft they make Detroit look like Philly. If Leino doesnt show any willingness to battle for the puck tonight, he has no chance in the NHL.

I thought you were from Sweden, not California

"bra" is Hawaii, "dude" is Cali. Get it right!

already proved that against the kings who are softer than the islanders...

[F2B&G 15]

With the nice roadtrip so far (other than the Anahack loss and lack of team effort against LA), this could be a 'trap' game for the Wings. They need to stick to their gameplan and Howard needs to keep up the good work. If they can play a sound road game, they should be alright. I'm not expecting a blowout unless Roloson has an off night, but 3-1 or 4-1 win should be in the cards.

Win it for Nik Kronwall's birthday!

All Swedes score at least one goal in honour of their countryman.

All Fins score at least one goal in honour of their fans' birthdays.

How about a 55 goal salute and destroy these guys 55 - 0 ?

No need to wear out their shooting arms; they do have to play Carolina and we don't want them weary.

5-0 wins in our next 11 games will do fine. Then we have Homer's birthday coming up...

[GSBrooks13 204]

Well.. Lets hope the Wings come out and play like they want to move into 8th place. Lets hope the habit of playing down to the opponents level doesnt come up tonight.

My Prediction:

Wings 5 - Lidstrom, Bertuzzi, Leino, Zetterberg, Helm

Islanders 2 - Moulson, Tavares

Lets Go Wings!

[Guest mindfly]

Wings not the most banged up team, 2nd most mangames lost... is oilers or hurricanes the most?

Wings at 212 and counting....

anyone watching right now.. whats wrong with murph?

he's gotta be drunk

[Namingway 146]

I remember sometime last year when we were around the top of the NHL if not the top, the Isles were in last place and beat us. I think we even got shut out if memory serves me right. The Wings don't play the Isles too often so it'd be nice to grab a W and also that 8th place spot

Red Wings 4 (Datsyuk, Helm, Bertuzzi, Leino)

Isles 1

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!
