I'm guessing even if Howard dresses, that he wont start right? I think Joey deserves another start anyways. Rest up Howard and get him in there against Nashville.

As for this game, the Blues played tonight so we need to put the pressure on them early. 5-3 Wings. Hank x2, Mule, Abdelkader, and Raffy

[InKennyWeTrust]

F*ck the Blues. Hockeytown001 is a BAMF.

[Heaten]

I can't find any information about Datsyuk. I don't even know what's ailing him....

[SiLkK19]

I can't find any information about Datsyuk. I don't even know what's ailing him....

I'm afraid he might have re injured his hand/wrist. Man I hope that's not the case!

[syntax]

Based on current events, there's a >50% chance that we lose this, especially since it is at the Joe.

Hopefully we can reverse the trend tonight.

[Vladifan]

If Jackman is playing I want him bleeding from every orifice by the end of the game.

OK, back to my knitting.

[Donaldjr2448]

We all know that Oshie isn't playing! Which is good because this kid kills us!!

[matt198913]

O dear GOD play like you care

I'm afraid he might have re injured his hand/wrist. Man I hope that's not the case!

He has lower body and he took some time to skate so I am thinking it's a groin or ankle. He has had ankle issues in the past and he did go into the boards kind of strange so I am guessing the amount of time it took for him to get out there skating is a sign it really was lower body.

Regardless, if it's without Pav then keep it going like last game. If we played that same style of hockey like we did against Chicago then this should be a steamrolling. I am attending and I feel like this should be a good a time as any to get a W. None of this OT stuff, win in regulation and keep on the Blues. This team doesn't have a whole lot to play for so they will be out there throwing caution to the wind because they are going against us and they know we have been exploited at home. PLAY 60!!!

The club will see how Pavel Datsyuk (lower-body injury) feels after Wednesday’s morning skate before determining his status for the game. Holland said he should return by the weekend (Saturday at Nashville or Sunday at home vs. Minnesota).

Nothing really to gain to play in this one other than to get his legs under him. Since I will be attending, please play. Thanks.

lets go WINGS

J-Mac needs to start. Not only because he's earned it, but because we don't need the Blues running Howard and reinjuring him right before playoffs.

[Hockeytown_Ryan]

Going to the game tonight...I have been to a few Wings Blues games and .... well never mind ....I wont jinx it now!

Go Wings and get 2 points!

[jeff48109]

just win!

[GSBrooks13]

So, the only game the Wings have won recently was against Toronto.. oddly enough thats the only game I made a pregame plea to the Wings in the GDT. With Toronto I was able to beg for a win so my facebook wouldn't get over run with cocky Leafs fans. That probably won't be the case now as I'm pretty sure I don't know a single Blues fan. So lets see..

Wings, you need to win this game to finally bring peace to the middle east! Don't let the terrorists win!

There, that should do.

LETS GO WINGS!

[hooon]

LGW!!!!

I'll be watching this game TJ Oshie style - 3 sheets to the wind!

[CrimsonFlame]

Time to get hot boys. Not much time left for slacking.

[Ram]

No pav is okay. Please just get him healthy for a few weeks from now. And WIN! Let's go Wings

[HankthaTank]

per Wings twitter feed:

Babcock: I am assuming he's (Datsyuk) is going to go on Saturday.

Dangggggg.
