8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 I'm making the two hour drive to the game and back from Kalamazoo so I hope they come out and play a solid home game finally. No predictions worked today so I will go with that again. Just win. LGW! 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff48109 474 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 -- General manager Ken Holland said Pavel Datsyuk is expected to return to the lineup for Sunday’s game against Minnesota at Joe Louis Arena. But, after the game, Babcock was told Datsyuk’s status remains questionable. He has missed seven games with a lower-body injury. link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 link That would be amazing. I got these seats for free last minute from someone who has season tickets. If Datsyuk plays I would be pumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 I wonder if Jimmy gets the starts back to back coming off an injury? If not I gotta think JMac is due for a bounceback. Gotta hope the Wings can keep the momentum rolling and just run through the Wild. If the Wings play like they did against Nashville plus possibly (hopefully!) having Datsyuk in the line up, there is no reason they should lose this game. LETS GO WINGS!

Hmm.. were you watching the same game as I was yesterday? Just because the Wings went down 3-0 does not mean they came out flat. They got a couple good hits in the very first shift and were very up tempo through most of the period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minnesota is not an offensive team, so I imagine MacDOnald gets the start. Probably will be a boring game but I hope the Wings show up to play. They need the division clinched and to start some good habits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACallToArms 270 Report post Posted April 3, 2011 Hoping we can snag another 2 points from a team that we should easily beat. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 3-1 Wings (because I'd love to see the Wings keep any team to a single goal) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
