HockeytownRules19 902 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Shake it off baby! Let's Go Wings! Go JMac! Now everyone knows how important Rafalski is to this team... I believe if Rafi played tonight, we would not have gone 1-9, but that's just me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MotorCityMadness 388 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I'm hoping for a point atleast...a win would be great, but the Sharks just seem to be playing to well lately and with JMac in net I am not very confident in this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Well.. The Wings lost to the team they have been beating all season.. So now in a crazy reversal they will beat the team that has been beating them all season! Also. Those 2 SO's look pretty nice on JMac's stats Haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F2B&G 15 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I ate my words last night, so tonight the Wings get curb-stomped and lose 6-1 due to a Pavelski hat trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Maaannnn, horrible way to lose last night with Howie playing out of his mind. Perfect bounce back type game and I fully expect the Wings to turn it around and finally beat these crumbpacking Sharks. 4-3 (Hank x 2, Mule, Cleary) Hopefully a continuation by Joey Mac from last game.

St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Sharks have owned us lately. After last night's god awful power play I don't know. I hope Babs lights a fire under some asses. Wanna see the boys play a great game regardless of the score. Inching closer to playoff time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
