Come on boys, let's do this!!

[WizardOfOz30]

I'd like to see a game like the last one against them - minus the last 5 minutes.

Just hoping they actually play instead of giving away the game like they did in Phoenix.

Go Wings!!

Is there a link to an article explaining or confirming those lines? thanks.


BTW, you rule Hockeytown0001!

I like the first 2 lines and the 4th but that 3rd line is

Zetta needs to step it up 3 games zero points -2. defense needs to step it up as well

lets get a convincing win with less than 2 goals against! go wings!

[hooon]

I don't actually mind that 3rd line so much. Hudler on the 4th just seems a little low, but whatever works. Its Babs so its not like these lines are permanent.

[cjm502]

ZDC, my favorite line! Just watch, they are going to dominate.

[GoWings1905]

I appreciate Homer, but damn Cleary is such a better fit now to play on a line with Pavel and Z. I hope they get some time together because that line could really dominate with those three clicking.

Go Red Wings! Try and do some of that thing called defense.

[Hockeytown0001]

Pretend its 2008.

[dirtydangles]

those lines are brutal. i hope babs plans on giving that 3rd line a rest tomorrow for most of the night. rafi come back to us like asap cause this sucks harder than trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

L.A. seems to have our number lately. Lets play some defense. LGW

[Yellowknife Redwing]

I predict we take a 4-0 lead into the 3rd period, but lose the game 12-5

[BigWillieStyle]

Let's play like we have tiger's blood. Do some winning.

ZDC, my favorite line! Just watch, they are going to dominate.

Well, Dats and Hank were absolutely terrible together against Phoenix, so I'm hoping we'll see considerable improvement tonight.

That 3rd line looks a little scary, and I can't believe Hudler is on the 4th line given his play of late.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary


GIT R DONE!
Clears with 2 tonight and Hank even notches one because well he needs to damn it!!!


Wings win 5-2 and actually decide that the 3rd period is a little more important than we seem to believe.

[Cloune]

home game? 5x2 for Kings

[matt198913]

Come on play with some desperation tonight
