Babs should play Ericsson as a winger. Be an interesting experiment since were down so many forwards, man I really hope we pump these dirtbags.. doesnt help that we dont have Dats or Mule though. Whatever I'll be cheering regardless, go wings go!

[Rick Zombos Ghost]

i second E as a winger. put him in the homer role on the PP.

[hockeychik25]

Wings will win because it's the Penguins.

Wings will win because it's the Penguins.

I like the sound of that.

how is hudler out for this many days with the flu???

[syntax]

Well, at least they're more injured then we are. We need these points.

Do your best, Wings.

No! It's my Bday present and my birthday!

UK, fun and flightless bird embarrassment!

[Vladiator]

Sucks that Pavs and Mule won't be playing. I'l be at this game S222 R6. Was looking forward to Howie giving Cindy another well deserved face wash, but oh well. Just hoping the Wings can start putting together a string of home wins going into the playoffs. Gonna be really pissed off if Cooke is playing in this game.

No kidding. Though the MLive article posted at the top said Hudler was out with an "upper body" injury. Holland said last week the doctors told him Hudler would be cleared to play on Monday so I wonder if there's more to the story than just the flu.

Go Red Wings! Need the points with the Sharks right behind.

[Hockeytown0001]

Hank always seems to play well against Pittsburgh.

[jeff48109]

shouldnt Cooke be taken out of their projected lines? i can't imagine him being able to play

[mjlegend]

It's a perversion of justice if he plays Monday. Which means I wouldn't be 100 per cent surprised if he did.

[brett]

anyone know what pavs and mules injuries are?

GO WINGS KICK THEIRf****** ASS!

[Hiei]

win lose or draw, anyone who can do anything to END COOKE's GAME/CAREER/LIFE, I will BUY A JERSEY WITH THEIR NAME AND NUMBER ON IT.



Wings 4-1.
