Good luck guys, you will have to be without me in the GDT (whoop whoop right?) can't be staying up til 4am on a weekday, kills you in the long run.

[Hockeytown0001]

Rest of GDT is forthcoming, couldn't do it last night due to LGW being down.

[Hatethedrake!]

Eklund's prediction: 1 team will win and 1 team will lose. It will end in either regulation, overtime or shootout. It could be a blowout or a very close game. 1 goalie will make more saves than the other goalie and one team will score more goals than the other team will. More to come...

[Hockeytown0001]

Do you have a doomsday prediction?

[Hatethedrake!]

Do you have a doomsday prediction?

If Jiri Hudler scores a hat trick then Doomsday is very near.

[HOCKEY MATTERS]

I hope the boys aren't lazy. And I especially hope they don't suck.

Prediction:
Wings win 4-2 (3-2 in the 3rd and an empty netter)
I get an "A" on my final exam tonite.
(i hope i'm not lazy and don't suck)

[mindfly]

Do you have a doomsday prediction?

You can't be sure with this team, feels like a lights out performance or a flat-out-sucks performance.

[ACallToArms]

Do you have a doomsday prediction?

I have one. Hudler scores the GWG. Then the world explodes.

Take a nap before the game starts!

It probably would.



Hockeytown, thanks for the GDT (as usual).

I hope we play just like we did against L.A. St. Louis doesn't have quick, so we'll win 16-5.


LGW!!!

Fortuitously for our heroes, everyone on the Blues is injured right now. If there was ever a time to get back on track and start winning home games again, this is it.

Word

Polak
Pietrangelo
McDonald
Perron
Oshie

2 top4 defensemen and 3 top6 forwards.... damn

[Ram]

Let's go Wings.

[cprice12]

I wish the Blues weren't missing half of their lineup for this game.

Usually I am all jacked up about a Wings-Blues matchup, but I am not optimistic at all about the Blues chances in this one.

No Oshie
No McDonald
No Perron
No Polack
No Pietrangelo

Probably our three best forwards and our two of our three best defensemen are out. And to make matters worse, Brewer is healthy.

Hopefully Halak can pull a Quick and stand on his head...now if the forwards can just manage one goal...

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Detroit wins this one 6-1. Hope I'm wrong.

[dirtydangles]

calling it 5-2 wings. franzen, cleary, fil, rafalski, bert. hudler does nothing.

I hope you're right!!

What about Halak ? Hes sure to score on himself again.
