A real live gameday thread. We've made it through the offseason desert!

[Zion]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S DROP THAT PUCKING PUCK!!!!!

HOCKEYTOWN, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S WIN AT THE JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD, HOCKEY IS FINALLY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VanDer]

FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting too long

Hat-trick for Ericcson tonight. Thats right you heard it here first

[achildr1]

Looking at they're lineup, I'm thinking this should be a steam roll. It's amazing how fast Anaheim's depth and overall talent have disintegrated. That D is barely a shadow of a couple years ago. They're bottom two lines are pretty bad. That said though, Hiller can keep them in games.

Drop the puck!

[dat's sick]

I'm thinking the Wings will be pumped to show they're a force to be reckoned with this season.

5-1.

Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Lidstrom, Hudler.

[Z and D for the C]

Hat-trick for Ericcson tonight. Thats right you heard it here first

And last.

[syntax]

It's been far too long since a regular season GDT.

Thanks to HockeyTown0001 and all the Board admins for the GDT and letting us Wings fans have a place to sound off.

Opening night Hat Trick for Pavel tonight.


LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!

Here's to a great season!

Yeah!!! Its finally a GDT now that the Cus has posted the stats. GAME ON

<3 Cusimano, he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves for keeping us updated on a lot of things

[Krystal]

It's time for the games that matter now I'm so pumped for this! I almost tried to get tickets until I remembered that's one helluva drive..

[Buppy]

I was doing fine for the 5 months since the last meaningful Wings game, why does it now seem like 7:30 will never get here?

Is it too late to petition the league for a matinee start?

[Esquire]

GAME DAY!!!! GO WINGS GOOOOOO!!! I CAN'T STOP SHOUTING!!!

[robb himself]

GO WINGS GO!!!!!!!

[AARedWingFan]

WOOOOO GO WINGS!!!!!!!!

[Hockeytown0001]

Whats the deal with Abdelkader? I see hes not in the line-up and not listed on the injury list.

Updated in the OP. He won't be playing tonight.

[Donaldjr2448]

<3 Cusimano, he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves for keeping us updated on a lot of things

I cannot agree more with ya! I wonder if Cus is the guy that gives the stats to Babcock before the games and during the intermissions? In any event, I love his posts, and I always look forward to them, it's funny,I like the stat about what our record is on a certain day, it always seems to be spot on. Its amazing to be able to almost predict the outcome based on that stat alone!

[NvrFrgtRussian5]

i remember thinking the night we lost the series to the sharks; "how am I possibly going to wait months for more hockey!?!"

Ahhh. The time is finally here.

LGW

[Aussie_Wing]

Hiller, my boy, in my fantasy team, might struggle with that D in front of him. Lets hope he does tonight, although he often plays well when facing a ton of shots. He'd want to this season.

Wings take this 4-2. Goals by Hank x2, Franzen and Rafalski.
