wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 Glad Howard is starting because I am going to the game Friday and really want Ozzy to play so this somewhat betters the chance Anyways hopefully Babs has the boys ready to play unlike in Colorado because Ozzy isn't in net to play out of his mind tonight, and Dallas seems to play us well lately. I think it is going to be a low- scoring game compared to the other night. 3-2 Wings win (Franzen, Homer, Lidstrom) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 Abby vs Ott round 2? I think so We'll see how Mursak can play physical tonight against a team like Dallas who are tough throughout the lineup. Hopefully he gets a bit more ice time tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 Hate to be Debbie Downer yet again, but I'm not feeling this one, either. The last game surprised the heck out of me, but tonight they don't have a hell-bent Osgood to bail them out, so I'm going to stick to the doom and gloom for the time being. Despite my bad feeling, though, I'm still going to pick the Wings to win 4-3 again (but no OT please). Howie hasn't been doing spectacularly lately, so I'm guessing he's not going to keep it to 2 or under, but even with our horrible play at the Avs, we managed to get 3 goals in regulation, so I think they'll be able to at least repeat that. I think they could get 4 in regulation if they can get a few guys going who have been in sleep mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 If Z doesn't play I would rather them bring someone up from GR then dress 7 D. Might as well get some experience for these young guys and its always nice seeing how the prospects look with the big club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 Wings win 4-1 Wings: Mursak, Hudler, Kindl, Helm (because that's all that's left) Stars: Kronner breaks a stick attempting to clear. The puck goes off Flip's butt, is fanned by Bertuzzi, the breeze from which redirects the puck and sends it bouncing off Ott's skate and into the net. 4 Vladifan, RWRNHZ40, hooon and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
