On Deck

12/31, Islanders at Red Wings; 7:00 PM

Wings win 39-0. Mursak with all 39 goals and every primary and secondary assists as well.

[wings_fanatic]

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)

[newfy]

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

*Please play rafalski*

wings have been pretty bad against the stars the past few years

No s***, only the 08 playoffs were decent.

I am so #### sick of the wings being on fox sports detroit plus

[MulesWillFly93]

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.

Wait what??

PLEASE tell me that "Z" is somehow Hudler's new nickname, and this comment has nothing whatsoever to do with Zetterberg.

[13dangledangle]

I hope Rafi and Z are playing because that'd be kinda f***ed up. These are 2 points we need, unless we want to be tied with Dallas ...I just threw up in my mouth a little! Lets go Red Wings!!

[dirtydangles]

need a big win here. 5-2 wings. hudler scores again.

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

[Cheveldae32]

On my way to hooters in downtown Dallas to pregame, then off to the game with a group of 16 Wings fans! Let's Go Wings!!!!
