[Z and D for the C 712]

The caps are playing good right now but if we play 60 minutes we should have this game.

And I'll go on a limb and say Filppula will score a goal!

[Guest scottj]

can't wait... i get too excited for wings games. now i have to wait 19 hours

wings 5 caps 2

ovechkin will have 100 shots on goal and osgood's gonna make a sweet comeback n stop every one... the two goals for the caps are given to them by the linesmen cause they thought they saw the puck go in and even though toronto can see that it clearly didn't they'll call it inconclusive evidence

[VM1138 1,921]

Pretty pumped, games are starting to feel like playoff games. Second half hockey is my favorite time of the year behind playoff hockey.

I just hope to God we win.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Must win. Honestly, with the Flames getting smashed tonight we can move into a tie for 6th if we win, from 9th to 6th is huge. Go Wings!!!

[Z and D for the C 712]

Well, we'd still only be in the 8th spot because we'd have less wins, but a win would still be nice.

[The Mule 0]

Win, and we're tied for 6th!

LET'S GO WINGS!!!!!! :octo:

[mackel 679]

Predicting a 6-2 loss... 5 on osgood in a period and a half and 1 on Jimmy after he comes in. Helm and Eves for Detroit.

Good to know there is no Osgood hatred on the forums...

[ben_usmc 253]

Good to know there is no Osgood hatred on the forums...

just because he has an opinion of how someone has been playing doesn't mean he are a hater

[InKennyWeTrust 126]

It's Ozzah time!

4-1, Z^2, Bert, and Ozzie scoes his 2nd career goal when Lebda surprises everyone when he finishes a check, causing Theodore to pass out from shock.

[Spongewingredpants 75]

if i was forced to put money on a team tonight, i am afraid it would be the Caps. however, I would love to lose this money

Haha, that's awesome and I completely agree, the number 8 freight train will be on the loose and hopefully we can slow him down a bit because he's impossible to stop !

[acidroach420 25]

I'm excited to see how the goalies answer to Washington's first line.

3-2 wings in OT

[dat's sick 1,002]

We kinda got robbed out of 2 points this weekend and this is one of those games where we need to get those points back. Washington is playing good but I feel if we play like we did against the Hawks we will win.

5-3 Wings.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

I'd be very surprised to not see Ozzie get the start. Jimmy needs a rest.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

osgood played well against the caps last time

[Guest mindfly]

How do you know osgood will play?

[55fan 5,133]

Please win, Wings.

And don't get hurt.

[kylee 727]

you mean osgood is playing?! im shocked.

ill sayyy id like to see Ovie net two, osgood slams the door and holds it together for the W

[Guest mindfly]

If they play like against the sharks and like the OT from the chiago game they will win comfortably if not they will probably lose, caps are that good at home.

[kylee 727]

wow calgary got "flamed" yesterday....9-1 !

Wings win and theyre in a playoff spot correct?

[FinWing 26]

Yes. They will be tied with the Flames but Wings have the tie-breaker in their favor due to fewer games played. Go Wings!

[Guest mindfly]

Hasn't gone too well in the games where they had the chance to climb into a playoff

[Paul MacLean's Mustache 44]

I just hope this isn't like last week's Long Island Massacre. I'll be at the game tonight -- the tickets cost me more than my tickets for game 1 of the past year's cup final
