HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 Not a super feeling about this one but how can there be lately? Can only hope that the practice yesterday and their morning skates with Babs is more than enough to get them in gear. Wings pull this one out. 3-2 (Homer, Pav, Clears) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the thread I'm hoping for a good game tonight, maybe we'll see MacDonald tonight and Howard on Sunday. Switching things up might help. Go Wings!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 I always assume that the Wings will win, even with the way they've been "playing" lately - ok, the last two months. I will settle for not being embarrassed tonight. A win would be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloune 270 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 i hope the match will be full of no "employment" (?) , with no interest in winning or scoring... maybe we should change the name to "red sleepers". why every team we play against has to be 100% faster and better? our "someone-will-do-it-for-us" game is really boring. above all, we dont have the players for such game. franzen scored 5 goals in one match and now he will be invisible for a year...

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 Even though I'm frustrated and have doubts, I have a hard time predicting losses. If Howard is in net: 5-4 Wings. If MacDonald is in net, 4-2 Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladifan 680 Report post Posted February 11, 2011 I want to/have to think that the Wings heard/felt what Babcock said and did to them and they will see the light. And it won't be that damn train at the end of the tunnel. Maybe, just maybe they'll be so tired from their workout that they won't over-react and try too hard?
