Go Wings!! They have to win and start the New Year off right.

I'm going to have to miss this one cause I'll be at the Griffins game. Loo make sure you work your magic against Roloson.

[55fan]

Please don't take the Isles for granted.

Just win.

[dirtydangles]

Wings win 5-2. Hudler scores again. Filppula scores. Z hatty.

[Konnan511]

This will be a tough game. The Islanders have been playing decent hockey lately.

[wingfanatic4alltime]

im excited to see Tatar play hopefully they give him a few games i see Wings win 2-1 hank and franzen the goals. Hope you all have a happy and Safe new years eve and day and GO WINGS!!!

[mindfly]

I predict a loss based on obvious and historical reason's... please surprise me wings'!

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

John Tavares is -17? We better keep our heads up out there tonight, with the Isles 4th line of Martin-Konopka-Gillies.

[CaliWingsNut]

Go Wings!

[Hockeytown0001]

I'll be at this one. Go Wings.

[newfy]

Hopefully noone gets killed by that fourth line of the islanders. Wont be able to watch this one. Hell by game time I might be too drunk to stand let a lone focus on the TV, someone fill me in on how Mursak and Tatar look tonight. I think one of them scores

Have fun at the Griffs game! And don't worry.. I have the ancient Czech goalie curse going already vs. Rolie the goalie.

I just hope our guys don't do the holiday brain-fart game and forget how to play. I hate holiday games. Pay attention, Wings, and WIN!!

Based on "obvious and historical reasons" they should have lost Sunday, the day after Christmas when they had to fly to Minnesota and play the same day. They also should have lost Monday the 2nd night of back-to-backs with travel in between, playing without Cleary, and starting Ozzie against a young, fast well rested team. And then there was Wednesday which was the 3rd game in 4 days against a team that was 2 points behind us.

4-1 Wings

Why bother predicting a loss every game...

Wings' don't show up aginst the worst team that is playing in a different conference, it's been like this for a few years now.

[Stolberg]

2-1 wings
roloson makes 42 saves

[Konnan511]

3 break aways for Helm without getting one shot off.
Bertuzzi with a break away and easy goal.
Mursak and Tatar combine for 4 posts.
Filppula with two secondary assists.
