That "None reported" for Wings injuries is beautiful.

[Hockeytown0001]

That "None reported" for Wings injuries is beautiful.

And yet, so strange and eerie.

[zombi]

I believe that Holtby is due for a bad game. Wings win 4-2.

[hooon]

Glad to see everyone healthy! Rafalski in the lineup should help us get some offense going maybe. Ozzie will be back on the bench I assume?

I look forward to the return of Eaves, whenever that may be.

Nice GDT!

Somebody take a picture for posterity!

Who sits? I'm hoping that Babs has the gull to scratch Mule and Bert. I'll give Modano another game or two just because of the long break he had.

As it is today at this point in time I wouldn't mind seeing Mule, Bert, Homer, or Miller sit.

Miller the odd man out.

[LadyInRed]

Shame shame shame on us if we lose this game with a healthy team on our hands

[dirtydangles]

my buddy at uni is from D.C. id love to throw this one in his face. please win big! 5-2 wings. zetterberg, dats, eaves, lids, cleary.

[jeff48109]

kindl-raffi pairing makes me nervous

[dragonballgtz]

Miller the odd man out.

And... two people are going to be scratched now that we are healthy.

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Washingtons on fire, should be a good game to see where the Wings are at.

[Wingzman91]

No one injured, no excuses.
Need to break up the Washington win streak and start the playoffs early.
Go Wings! z/d/helm goals 3-1.

[brett]

should be a great test. win it wings prove to us you belong at the top

[skyphoenix]

Looks like Eaves and Miller are both healthy scratches.

Versus eh? So... Loss?

[Vladiator]

Isn't this game also on FSD? Well that's the channel I have set to record on.

I hope so. That's what it says on the Red Wings website.

So maybe not a loss. I'd say tie. Yeah.
