[thedisappearer 291]

Please ******* win. Thanks.

[Jericho613 74]

Lets go Wings, gets some revenge from June and lets start climbing the standings with a long win streak.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Crosby and Malkin better get Kronwalled.

[luvmnger 125]

gotta wake up early for this one....10:30 am my time

go wings!

sidney needs to get kronwall-ed

4-3 win.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

12:30?

gonna have to drag my ass out of bed to watch this

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

I'll be working during this one, so I'll have to watch it with no sound. But since it's on NBC I think no sound is the better option. Just please get the W.

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

12:30?

gonna have to drag my ass out of bed to watch this

haha! you too? Luckily I'll get up early enough to go to breakfast and be back in time. whew!

[Taylorov 37]

Wings better bring the rukus and play their best game of the season or I will be super pissed.

Puck Fittsburgh!

[Yzerman19 334]

So sad it is always lebda scratched..... I wish Ericsson would be more often. Overall, Lebda is less of a problem than big E.

[FunkedUp 29]

If the wings can't get up for this one, then all faith is lost. I expect an emotional game. The last game against them will haunt me forever...

[VM1138 1,921]

For God's sake if there's a non-playoff series clinching, non-playoff position clinching game that I want the Wings to win, it's this.

For all the crap the Wings have had to deal with this year from the hockey gods, please cut them a break today!

[RedWingsRox 614]

With Howard in goal ... we always have a chance of winning.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Bad night for the Wings standings wise.

[Echolalia 2,961]

Don't look now, but for the first time this year we're versing a team with more injuries than us.

[Theophany 110]

Here's to me being drunk by 10 AM tomorrow morning (games starts at 9:30 my time) to deal with all of the game 7 flashbacks and Crosby-thon that NBC will force on us.

We had better ******* get some revenge, but knowing what the NBC coverage is like, I'll be too drunk to remember whether we won or not.

[Dano33 41]

Even though it's a 12:30 start for me, It'll still be early because of the Aussie final at 3:30 am.

The Wings will score 1 more goal than the Penguins.

Oh for sure man, NBC (Nothing But Crosby) is going to glorify that. Pierre will be Crosbys lovedoll again. I'm hoping someone gets Kronwalled a la Havlat.

[Nev 1,085]

1230 start (1730 my time) = Pure win

Playing the Pittsburgh Crosbys on NBC? = Epic fail. The Crosby wankathon, usually unbearable even when Pittsburgh aren't even playing, is going to reach new heights (or should that be lows?)

One last thing, 2 points >>>>>>>>>>>> revenge/rivalry

[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

Ahh I cannot wait for the game!

Wings gotta come out flying. Full 60 minutes no sitting back. Such an important game. Remember that blowout I was talking about for the last game? Well I actually meant it to be against the Pens.

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!!!!

GO HOWIE!!!!

[titanium2 867]

I feel like I'd rather not watch. Why does this game have to only be on NBC? Why can't they have an FSN feed too?

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

DELETE THAT F#CKING RECAP VIDEO!!!

Other than that.

Wings 3 (Lids, Z, Cleary)

Pens 2 (who the hell cares, just not Crosby, Malkin, Orpik, Kennedy, or Talbot)

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

I'm gonna get sick seeing more pictures of Crosby holding the Cup then actually playing tommorow morning. If there was ever a nice game to get going on a roll, it'd be this one. s***ty we dont have Homer, but hopefully the boys come out to play. And take dirty ******* runs at Crosby and Malkin all night, and Bertuzzi and May say "hello" to their old buddy Cooke.

[titanium2 867]

Bertuzzi and May say "hello" to their old buddy Cooke.

I just had a hopefully wrong psychic and paranoid flash that Cooke will injure a Red Wing tomorrow. Everybody on LGW was enraged.

[Firehawk 305]

I'm not too confident about this one. I'd love to say we are going to go in there with malice in our hearts and wipe the floor with them, but I am just not that confident. If we play like we did last game, we'll get smoked.

Here's hoping!
