They just gotta win, comfortably, NO EXCUSES.

[ilmickeyli]

I dont want to see Jeff Deslauriers beat us again.. lolz.. GO WINGS!

[kylee]

let's not botch this one guys?

1. The Oilers streak ends tonight, no questions asked.
2. Can someone tell me why Draper was elevated to the 3rd over Helm?

Hell, I would have much rather seen a full shift of the 3rd and 4th lines. This is a perfect chance to see how some different combos work. Personally I would have tried:

Miller - Helm - Eaves
Meech - Draper - Williams

Or at a minimum gone with Helm as the 3rd centre

Miller - Helm - Williams
Meech - Draper - Eaves

Tonight is career game number 600 for Pasha. He's 5 goals away from 200 for his career...11 assists from 400...16 points from 600 career points. He is currently number 9 on the All Time Red Wings scoring list...49 points behind Brendan Shanahan at #8.

Congrats, Pasha!

I'll be at the game tonight.

As will I

Pav can easily hit 200 this year. I didn't even realize he had that many.

It is also Hank's 500th game tonight.

Expect great things from the Eurotwins tonight!

[newfy]

I really don't wanna lose to Edmonton again. If a team as bad as Edmonton wrecks our streak I'll be so pissed.

4-1 wings

OK, so do any of us see any problem with him getting those five goals tonight? I think not. I mean, why delay the inevitable?

Have fun, Pat!

[RedWingedKitten]

Yeah that's true. Dats might as well get it over with.

If we lose to the Oilers again I am going to ... laugh.

[Krayzie_Bone]

I feel dumb saying this but I really think Osgood should get the start and Howard could maybe use some rest. Seems like the Wings always get off to a slow start and or don't play that well against Oilers. Ugh I dont know.

[HOCKEY MATTERS]

Wings must beat the Oil tonight. Gotta stay with J-Ho....he's red hot! I have complete faith that if J-Ho falters in the playoffs, Ozzie will stand on his head from the get-go. Wings must beat the Oil tonight. 2 points Jimmeh!!

[KrazyGangsta]

I really think Ozzie needs to start at least 2 games in the remaining games for Howard to rest before playoffs and Osgood to get his rust out.

[ltgator333]

I am not really bothered by Howard starting again in this game, provided it's Jimmy as usual and the team in front of him realizes this is two points on a platter PROVIDED they do what they need to do- start on time and finish what they start.

Hopefully all goes well and the Wings continue to climb the statistical ladders.

[Pucks]

These are the type of games that seem to give the Wings the most trouble. Hopefully we can run them over tonight instead of getting in a hole.

I was wondering that too and the only thing I could come up with was that he didn't want to split up Helm and Eaves, but I like your idea of shifting the 3rd and 4th lines and playing them with Miller.

[funguy21]

My prediction tonight is a landslide Red Wings. 4-0 Goals by Zetterberg, Filpula, Datsyuk, and Miller. Another shutout Howard.

[bdavis]

On the nhl.com preview page, it's not showing Dan Cleary as being out this game. Dunno, maybe they just didn't update their site or something.
