Yeah, guys, lets try to not blow the forum up this time...

[under_par_00 45]

Wings win 5-2 and avoid starting a losing streak.

At least, they better!

[canadian wings fan 305]

wooo looking forward to watching this one when I get home from work. I fully expect a good game and a red wings win tomorrow

Also, does this forum have an "ignore" user feature? I seriously believe Mindfly is mentally challenged, and is annoying as s***.

Thanks fellow true red wing fans

Sure does.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

this game is a must win. need to get back on track after two demotivating losses.

Predicting a 4-2 win. Pavs, Z, Z, Mule. And somebody gets kronwalled.

[Casey 145]

Detroit has 37 points, not 27.

All the same, 4-1 Wings.

[titanium2 867]

Hopefully they'll get back to basics and no more cutefests.

If so then I'm thinking that guys like Abdelkader/Cleary and Helm/Eaves will come through with some good energy. Then someone in the top six will add an insurance goal.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Yeah, guys, lets try to not blow the forum up this time...

Is that what happened?

[brett 1,029]

Lets have a good rebound game and light up the lamp a few hundred times. Just win it Go wings!

[ACallToArms 270]

Is that what happened?

Probably not. I was just trying to make a funny.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Babcock probably ripped into this team and I'm going to assume they come out firing and win big time.

[ACallToArms 270]

Hopefully. I chalked Monday's game up to being tired from the CA road trip. If they lose tonight I'll start to get a bit worried.

[Paolino99 5]

3-2 Wings... Mule,Salei,Kronwall

Go DRW!!!!!!

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Is Hudler seriously starting again tonight ? Put Draper in on the fourth and move Eaves up or something.

It certainly does. Just go to the top of the page and click the down arrow by your name. Then click on "manage ignored users". It will prompt you from there.

I'll warn you- if you put Mindfly on ignore, you will be missing a great deal of comic gold. This, of course, does not in any way eradicate the possibility that he might be mentally challenged or annoying as s***. (j/k Sebastian- you know I love you.)

EDIT: Forgot what I came for!

Wings will bounce back and win this one.

Wings: Kronner, Huds (OT)

Preds: bounce off Huds' skate

LGW goes nuts trying to decide if Huds is a hero or a villain.

Pffft...

WE don't lose twice in a row in regulation. That is unheard of!

You sure have faith in Hudler don't you?

I say the Wings will win tonight because they have to prove that Monday was just a fluke, tired from the west coast trip.

[chrisdetroit 189]

The Wings always follow a poor game with a great effort. Tonight will be no different and with Pekka Rinne out, I expect a big win. 4-1 Wings.

Dallas is playing Chicago tonight. Normally I am for whomever Chicago is playing (like when little brother UofM is playing) but Dallas is right on our heels. Is it possible for them to both lose?

[wingslogo19 281]

Another great GDT!!!

Im going with a big come back game, Howard stands on his head and the rest of the team plays great.. GO WINGS GO

[russianswede919293 95]

Great GDT except one thing.

No mention of DOLLAR HOT DOG NIGHT!

Wings will win this one for Murph who will be silent for 99% of the broadcast while he eats his hot dogs!
