Thanks again for putting all this together. It just wouldn't be the same without your GDT's.

I know it's not Turco's pic, but are those Turco's stats? Or is it way past my bedtime?! Actually, I wish he was playing for the Wild. We'd probably have a better chance of beating them!

AHA! Fixed!

we wish, eh?

Dearest Wings... please win.

[PrairieDawg 52]

This game is very winnable, lets see the offense light them up.

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Dats w/ a goal.

Detroit win needed.

I rock.

[skyphoenix 153]

Mlive said that Leino is still in and May is scratched.

[InKennyWeTrust 126]

It's Jimmah time!

4-1, Z^2, Bert, and Jimmy Howard with his 1st career goal when Leino, unsure of whether he's scratched or not, keeps jumping on and off the ice from the bench, making everyone scratch their heads.

[RedStormRising 7]

As always, I will be in attendance. I'm just hoping Jimmy has a better outing than the last time I saw him play in the X. Yikes that was ugly... Not a fun game to be at by any means.

Awww really? I was hoping for a May/Boogaard showdown... oh well

Wings 4-2!

Wings are gonna win this one. Datsyuk is playing more offensive (world-class) now that Zetterberg Cleary and Flip are back and playing great. Starting to get the Wings swagger back. Howard is playin great, nothin like good competition. Babcock is brilliant, get the goalies workin their asses off to get the job because he knew his team wasn't going to be about offense for a while. It takes their mind off the injuries and focus on their game. Osgood needs to shut his mouth and work on his game. Howard is responding with great play, Ozzie is responding with not learning that he needs to earn his spot.

Franzen isn't human so he will be back relatively soon, and better than ever. Watch out, this team is going to dominate, win the cup.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Jimmy got his rest and is ready to hand it to the Wild. Watch Josh Harding turn into a Vezina Trophy candidate against us. Our top line has to score and our PP has to get it going again. The top line has had chances galore and just has to start burying those chances. Things are picking up again in Hockeytown.

[dat's sick 1,002]

We really have to win this one. I feel like I say that about every game nowadays but it's true.

Pav and Hank will finally get the monkey off their back in this game and get the scoring going.

6-1 Wings, Pav and Hank with 2 each, Miller and Lids with 1.

[seeinred 1,488]

Due to the season-long offensive woes, I must lower my prediction for this game to 7 to 1.5.

Let's go Wings!

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

Please just win.

[uk_redwing 495]

Leino will save the day.

[Guest mindfly]

will they really dress boogaard if wings dont carry a fighter?

[e_prime 1,936]

Wings 3 -1 (Bert, Lids, Hank)

...and both L.A. and Calgary lose with the same scores.

[ManLuv4Clears 7]

Leino will save the day.

Babs realized Meech has tied him for a team leading -9 and figured he needs to get some more PT to take over the top spot again.

[cusimano_brothers 1,655]

Is the "Leino Showcase" leading up to a possible trade?

[syntax 359]

With LA, Phoenix and especially Calgary starting to soften up....

IT'S TIME TO GET SOME POINTS!!

LGW!!

[Guest R2D2]

Having Leino in the line-up over May makes me laugh. This will be quite interesting to see Clutterbuck, Scott, and Booggard dominate our players. Scary in fact.

[Echolalia 2,961]

The Kings have their hands full with the Sabres tonight.

To be fair, none of those are cheapshotting players. Just huge hitters. Thats why Leino is in tonight. So they have someone to hit.

The Wild are starting their backup with a sub-.500 record? f***, we're screwed.
