It will be embarassing if they lose this one, wings already lost the previous two meetings.... just saying.

[VM1138 1,921]

This game scares the hell out of me. It SHOULD be a simple win, but the way this season has gone nothing can be taken for granted. They could either win, or take their feet off the gas pedal and blow it, thus costing them their one game advantage on Nashville and Calgary and breaking their mojo.

Please, please, please, please, please win. Please.

[newfy 695]

I've been gone the whole week until now to Cancun for Spring break, its gonna be nice to get to finally watch a game. It seems they've been playnig well lately maybe someone here cuold update me on how theyve been playing?

Anyways Edmonton is a team they NEED 2 points from, get it done boys.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

hope they don't treat this game as a gimme and blow it

[jeff48109 474]

we've actually lost both previous games against them...

[Konnan511 1,736]

hope they don't treat this game as a gimme and blow it

In all honesty, I'm getting that feeling. I think we'll win, but I feel they'll be the cardiac kids tonight.

"Rookie goaltender Devan Dubnyk is expected to start Friday, and he'll be looking for his first NHL win. Dubnyk is 0-8-2 in 13 appearances, including 10 starts, with a 4.16 goals-against average and .868 save percentage."

If this is a nutshell detroit game he will have the game of his life, stand on his head make 45saves for his first career win and also first shutout in the same game..

That would be Detroit form.

I hope tonight his teammates are gathered around him, patting him on the back, and saying, "Hey, the Red Wings are tough. Don't let this get you down. You'll do better next time."

[wingfan1991 221]

will be a tough one to win as always for wings. they better be ready and bury these guys right away. wings always seem to play their worst games against the bottom feeders.

[Slave 31]

going to the game tonight maybe i should bring a laser light to shine in the Dubnyks eyes

[Williams29fan 6]

Go Wings!

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Crazy Canadian teams and their 9:30 starts....sigh.

I rock!

Go Wings!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

I know we're playing well lately and Edmonton is playing like crap, but I just have a really bad feeling about this game.

Something about it just feels wrong. Almost like a game we could look back on later and regret.

I hope I'm wrong and we come out and blow them out in the first period.

[superstarsingh 23]

They will dismantle the Oilers tonight . How about...7-2?

[HanKarin40 7]

Let's Go Wings!!! Make it 4 in a row! These games that should be an easy win always make me super nervous! I hope they show up to play tonight and not take Edmonton too lightly!

[Matt 1,048]

Trap game!

[HockeyTownHouligan 57]

I don't wanna say that this will be easy or anything buuut you guys remember the win against the bottom feeding Wild they crushed em 5-1 they just gotta play with some heart tonight and they'll be fine.

[Motown4013 350]

Go Wings Go, this game can be one but we shouldn't underestimate any team now.

Agreed- Its way to easy to look at this game as a practice for upcoming Vancouver or the Pens! Lets go boys
