I am so ready for this game!

It will be my first ever Wings game in person!!!!!!

[sleepwalker]

Hopefully this is on FSD so I can see it in HD. My local cable has it currently listed to be on FSD+ (non-hd in my area), despite the wings site saying its on FSD. Hoping thats just a mix up in the cable listings...

Hello,


Been a lurker here for many years and have just now decided to start posting.
This will be my first game in at least 12 years and my first one at the RBC Center.
I was raised in Michigan but was moved to NC in 2001 and I didn't discover streams to watch the games until the 2007-08 season
before which I didn't keep up with the wings as much unfortunately because not living in Michigan anymore and not being able
to flip the channel on the tv to the game made it hard being younger and not as computer savvy.

Really excited for this game as it should be pretty intense if the wings are going to fight for the number 2 seed,
as well Carolina coming out firing on all cylinders if they wish to stay in the playoff race.

Anyways sorry for the background

Wings win 3-1

LGW

Always nice to have fans on the road who can cheer the team on. Hopefully the Wings can get on a roll here. Just win.

[Hockeymom1960]

Hope the Wings. However, daughter and I are big Jeff Skinner fans so it will be fun to watch him!

Thanks for the GDT, Hockeytown.

Welcome to the boards, Wingsfan89.


No reason we shouldn't win this. I'd love to see us 2nd in the Conference.

Have a wonderful time! The Wings are so much better in person than, say, in animal or vegetable, although Wings in sweet and sour is mighty tasty.


Wings win 7-3.

[matt198913]

Tough game for the Wings. A team they don't normally play non original 6 in the East. Their trying to make the playoffs so they'll be extremely desperate. Maybe Jimmy can hold them in it for a while... Idk I'll go with 3-1 wings.

Datsyuk, Abdelkader, Zetterberg En
Staal for them

[HankthaTank]

This will be one of those games that turn out to be way better than they might appear. Carolina will be treating this like their 1st round matchup as most teams do when they see the winged wheel against them. Bring it boys, act like it's 2002!!! Should be a victory here though, just keep the focus.

Welcome to LGW! Glad to have you, and hope you enjoy the game. Wings will win for you. I suggest that you get a soft pretzel at some point. It's my magic necessity for a win. Don't laugh! I got one Saturday in Nashville when the Wings were down 0-3... and look what happened!

Have a blast! Go, Wings!!

Thanks for the GDT, HT! Awesome, as usual.

This line has been FAB ....................

No Hudler in the line up?

i dont see that line meshing well......... but we'll see, im not the coach

2 games in and it has been our best line since being together so you are a tad late on the prognosis but it could always go south quick. Hopefully they keep it going.
