Guest Hatethedrake! Report post Posted December 15, 2010 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...

HOCKEY MATTERS 167 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 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) 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take a nap before the game starts! I have one. Hudler scores the GWG. Then the world explodes. 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cprice12 117 Report post Posted December 15, 2010 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.

Also, im not sure how much I like the lines but its nice to see Patty Eaves playing on the 3rd line Edited December 15, 2010 by cjm502 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
