[Z and D for the C 712]

I vote that we remove Malty from the injury report, just for the novelty of having no injuries listed.

[RedWingedKitten 9]

Grand GDT as always.

It'll be nice to watch a game in

it's been a while.

Prediction - Luongo cries. (due to the offensive beatdown the Wings are about to deliver)

[esteef 2,679]

Two words....Helm Hattrick!

esteef

[hokeychik22 17]

i was just going to say maltby is only injury.. WOW!! hope it stays that way..

also hope raffi scored a few goals this time on luongo (or like the canada fans cheer lou.. loser..)

[Miss Wing Queen 154]

I'll be there in the third row by the penalty box (hopefully our guys won't have to use it too much). Now that we know his weaknesses, let's take it to Lou. Here's to Raffi getting a goal, and maybe Lils, but let's definitely have more magic by #13 like we saw Monday night. Let's get a win tonight and start to get on a roll . . . GO WINGS!!!

[Pavel Hossyukstrom 2]

Must beat the Canf***themselves!!

[skyphoenix 153]

I'm going to try and get a student rush ticket to the game. Hopefully it works out!

[Firehawk 305]

Finally we stay in the playoff picture for a night. If we can win tonight, we can start putting a small gap between 8th and 9th. Come on guys, win this one. Get a nice little streak going here. Score 5 goals, allow 2 or less! COME ON GUYS! GET IT DONE!

[55fan 5,133]

Wings lead 13-1 going into the 3rd period just so I can see a Sammy hat trick without worrying about losing. Then Sammy realizes I'm at work and can't see the game, so he doesn't bother scoring any more to impress me.

Wings win 13-4, thus avoiding unpleasantness with accusations of copyright violations from the 14-3 people.

Go Wings!

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

My little sister who has basically no interest in hockey or the Red Wings is going to the game tonight. Needless to say I'm quite the jealous older brother right about now. I've only seen our boys twice this year. Which is way below my usual season average. Luckily there is still plenty of time left to get some tickets. And if we make the playoffs, I will definitely get playoff tickets.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! isnt that a 2 goal lead??? NO WAY MAN.....

[dat's sick 1,002]

I would very much like it if the Red Wings from Detroit could collect 2 points tonight by producing a victory against the Canucks of Vancouver.

[Wings17 1]

LET'S go RED WINGS... LET'S go RED WINGS... LET'S go RED WINGS

[RedWingsRox 614]

I'm from Vancouver and I really want the Wings to silence this town. Luongo was adequate in the Olympics but he wasn't the god that people make him out to be. Babcock, now that you know his weakness ... shouldn't be that hard to pelt him with as many pucks as you can and show them why you're the coach.

[softshoes 83]

Good luck, time to start our move.

Shoot em high boys. The weight of that gold around Loungo's neck is forcing him low in the net.

[hillbillywingsfan 792]

can we get 3 in a row!?!?!

LET'S GO WINGS!!!!

[InKennyWeTrust 126]

Who is this Luongo character? Never heard of him... His stats make him look like a s***tier version of that Jimmy Howard guy, and from what I've heard, he's pretty damn good.

[Guest mindfly]

Is this not on FSN-D?

[Z and D for the C 712]

It's on FSN+, I believe.

[Matt 1,048]

I'll be taking my oldest daughter (4 years) Ella to her first Red Wings game tonight -- can't wait! I'll be down in Section 113, Row 4.

I'll have the rambunctious little blond. I've got a "bingo-bango! it's my 1st red wings game!" sign I'm going to try to take with us.

I'm giddy about taking her tonight, it's gonna be great. She's been bugging me all week (last night: "how many days until the hockey game? ONE?!?! REALLY?!?! AWESOME!") about it.

[Electrophile 3,554]

I hope she has fun, Matt.

I also hope there are no foul-mouthed drunks sitting around you either.

[wingnut22 81]

I'll be at the game tonight looking forward to it!

[Matt 1,048]

I also hope there are no foul-mouthed drunks sitting around you either.

Ha! I didn't even think of that. Never had to until now. I know the "Orange Hat Guy" is right nearby.

Heck, I've got to worry about my own mouth!
