Can't say I'm wild about splitting up Pavs and Z, but hey, Babs knows better than I do.

Ozzie gets 400!

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

The hard working Drew Miller sits out at the expense of Hudler again.. His time is dwindling.. He needs to start producing. Dallas has a fairly scrappy team, we need to keep our heads up out there! LGW!

[puckloo39 5,686]

Not a Huddie hater here, but I would rather have seen Miller in for this one, as well.

Ozzie, this one's for you.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Bring it home, Ozzie!!

[wingfanatic4alltime 32]

Ozzie gets 400 tonite Wings win 5-0 everyone celebrates!

[j.hoop 64]

GO OZZIE BRING #400 HOME!!!!!!

[Guest mindfly]

Since they sucked last game i guess it's time for a good performance and then suck again for the vancouver game on wednesday.

[Guest Stolberg]

Dear God,

Please incapacitate Steve Ott in some way shape or form for this game. Or if you're feeling generous then hey, use your imagination. In return, you can have Jiri Hudler's soul.

Thanks

[Norwegian Red Wing 107]

Perfect gametime for me. 11 pm

Ready for a Wings-win! - and for Ozzies #400!

Lets say 4-1. Goals by: Datsyuk x2, Filppula and Abdelkader

[Rivalred 630]

Detroit has played 31 games, not 28. Therefore, they need to win this ***** and come out like a team possessed.

Oh yeah, complete an effing pass + shoot the damn puck.

[germanwing 154]

GO WINGS!! GO OZZIE!!

[VM1138 1,921]

I will be pissed if they screw this up for Ozzie. Let's go Wings!

[titanium2 867]

What if Ozzie himself screws it up?

[Guest mindfly]

I will be pissed off even if they win this one because i know they are doomed to suck against vancouver on wednesday, that's how they roll, every other game or so.

[Konnan511 1,736]

What if Ozzie himself screws it up?

Impossible.

You really like that effect on photos huh Konnan? What is that called again, 'mosaic'?

Except earlier this season when they rolled through four or five or six games or so getting Ws. Mindfly, I swear it's like you've never watched a complete NHL regular season before. Let me break it down for you:

Your team wins some games for a while. Then they lose some games for a while. Then they win some games for a while. If your team is good, the first and third things occur a little more than the second thing.

I just compare wings to flyers all the time, the 7 losses flyers have were tight games and could have gone either way while detroit has gotten blown out several times in their 8 losses.

Wow. Now you pessimism is going beyond 1 game at a time. Why don't you just predict that they will lose every game now then you won't have to psot for the rest of the season.

Pittsburgh 5 Philly 1

Did you convieniently forget that game?

Or how about Montreal 3 Philly 0

I guess getting shutout doesn't count as a "bad loss"

And I'm not sure that I would be bragging about an 8-7 win over anybody even Tampa

When you make up s*** to support you argumet, you lose credibility.
