Tatar hat trick. You heard it here first.

[puckloo39]

Am I the only one a bit surprised to see Jimmy in goal? I would like to have seen Ozzie get this one. But, oh, well... GO WINGS!!!

Can't wait to see what Tatar has in store for us. He's really exciting to watch.

Draper-Helm-Tatar: hockey smarts, speed, and fire power... I like this line!

LOL, I did a fantasy draft and I swear it's pure coincidence that the team I'm playing is the Flyers, but Tatar got six goals in that SIMULATED game lol.

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Gonna be a huge game, s***ty we're down so many men. But phillys missing Pronger, and we're at home after a loss, I think the wings will pull it out tommorow.

[Hockeytown0001]

I wonder how the Wings would fare if another Swede in Daniel Alfredsson was on the squad.

Not surprised but yeah i would like to see ozzie play more games.

I would like to see more kindl as well, notice the wings won both games he was in for.

I am really hoping for a win it would be a huge one. go wings

[Z and D for the C]

I think it's about time for Flip to have a 3 point night.

Looking forward to a great game!

with you being at the game will it still be streamed on your website?
if not thats okay there are alternates. but yours is just too nice. and soo smooth and sexy...kind of like some women i know

[Konnan511]

Any links that says who is in and who is out?

[Stolberg]

flyers 10 - wings -7 howard gets pulled after one goal ozzie lets in 9 after that, wings fans will complain about howard afterward
pronger miraculously recovers in time and scores all 10 goals

[Shaman464]

I have a feeling Lidstrom, Hudler and Zetterberg all have great games

5-2
Z with 2, Hudler with 1+1, and Lids with 3 assists, Tatar with a point (won't call it goal or assist), Bert with a strong night.

I hope my new crystal ball works.

[ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

heres a clip i just came across
i figure its fitting with these two teams clashing tomorrow




RIP Probert

[dragonballgtz]

Any links that says who is in and who is out?

mlive reports:

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves didn't practice Saturday and will sit out for the second game in a row Sunday at home against the Philadelphia Flyers (5 p.m., FSD) due to an infected elbow.

[cjm502]

Tatar is going to show up big for us again. This kid is awesome.

Edited by cjm502, 02 January 2011 - 03:46 AM.

[Echolalia]

Honestly I wasn't all that impressed with Tatar's first go with the Wings. He had the game-tying goal, yes, but other than that you could tell it was his first NHL game. Mursak has been the more impressive of the two IMO, despite presently being outscored.
Here's to hoping he keeps the streak alive though, and the Wings get a W to start off the new year.
