newfy 695 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 The wings are on fire right now. I really think we're going to see a blowout this game, a win of at least 4 goals. I'm also predicting a goal and fight with Colin Fraser for Abdelkader, maybe even the Gordie Howe oh and datsyuk will do something sweet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evans_18 4 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Should be a good game for us. Will be nice to see how the Edmonton kids are doing. Haha Datsyuk does something sweet, sounds like a given Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better see Abby drop the visor before throwing. Edmonton has a fairly gritty team this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
under_par_00 45 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 This should be an awesome game. The Oilers have tons of speed, Hemsky, Gagne, Hall, Paajarvi, Eberle. Wings have to be solid defensively. Wings win 4-3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Here we have a team that isn't so successful and the Wings think their talent can just get them by. It's games like these that sometimes worry me even more than a "big" game against a team that is perhaps within the top of the league in regards to points. I just hope the Wings respect the Oilers with their approach; prepare and compete hard. 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F2B&G 15 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) I expect the Wings to pull it out, but Edmonton and their kids will probably bring their A-game for us, especially at home. We might get caught with our pants down early on. Unless Habby really sieves it up, I see a two-goal win in the cards.

I just hope the Wings respect the Oilers with their approach; prepare and compete hard. Good point, I had forgotten how they do tend to relax a bit against teams like this. They need to play hard every game because that's where we get into trouble thinking it's an "easy" win. Go Wings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 As much as i'm enjoying the 3rd line with Abby-Modano-Cleary, didn't Babcock announce Hudler's return tonight? We're going to have to keep a close eye before the puck is dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntax 359 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 The Oilers will come out strong tonight. Hopefully Khabibulin has another poor game and we can light him up for a couple. If we play like we did against Calgary, we'll win. :siren: LGW!!! :siren: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NvrFrgtRussian5 85 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 I'm pumped for this game. I haven't been able to catch the Oilers yet. Just hopefully the Wings don't take them for granted and lay back. I am however not excited about the fact the game is in FS+ the quality on that channel is awful. I can barely tell which line is out since it looks like 5 blurry snowballs skating around.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Joey chips a nail, so Ozzie is put in as backup since you don't use your groin when charting face-offs. At the end of the first, the score is 0-0. JHo has faced no shots, so he goes out for a beer during intermission. Finding a nice microbrewery that produces a hearty, yet lilting ale, he loses track of time and fails to return to the game. With 15 seconds left in the second period, Horcroff rings one off the post, and everyone notices that the Wings have had an empty net for the entire period. Ozzie drops his chart, grabs his helmet, but due to the groin injury, he is too late to get to the net, the Oilers get the rebound, and score. Ozzie plays the third. Final score: Wings 3, Oilers 1. Ozzie with the hat trick. LGW complains that he should have had the "soft" goal, and that his scoring is "streaky". 8 thegerkin, Electrophile, Zeowingsfan and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
