It seems like forever since we've played.

Let's Go Wings!!!

[Z and D for the C]

Looking for the second line to play really well. Especially Hudler. If he can play at a second line level in the playoffs, he'll be a huge asset.

Awesome game day thread!

Might want to re-visit the Sharks lines. No wonder you folks have your Wings winning so easily.

No changes from the Kings series, so:

-Marleau, Thornton, Setoguchi
-Heatley, Couture, Clowe
-Wellwood, Pavelski, Mitchell
-McGinn, Nichol, Mayers

Got it....had your lines taken from the last game of the regular season, couldn't find any line combos on LGS.

[10 Minute Misconduct]

3-2 Wings. Hope were not rusty..

[puckloo39]

Great job on the GDT, HT! As usual... I can't wait for this game. Let's go, Red Wings!



is it tomorrow yet?

[azshark]

Thanks for fixing. The only possible change I could see is Eager back in, in place of McGinn.

Good luck Detroit! Let's hope the refs swallow their whistles and let these two great teams figure it out the right way.

[stuck in socal]

Lets Go Wings! I hope they can start this series off strong with a dominant win in San Jose!

[Wings_Dynasty]

Liking the 3rd line. Lots of crashing and also goal scoring touch.

Wings 4 (Dats, Cleary, Homer, Raf)
Sharks 1 (who cares)

[Save The Octopus]

Anyone want to predict when the Sharks will get their first 5-on-3?

[Vladifan]

You can DO this, oh beloved Red Wings. It's in your genes, it's in your history. And it's in your hearts, minds, and bodies.

You.are.ready.



GO, WINGS!! GO, JUMPIN' JIMMEH!!

[Mabuhay Red Wings]

Because the Wings have had so much time off, I feel like this game sparks a similar feeling to the beginning of the regular season, only that much greater because it's playoff time. Just like the beginning of this year's regular season, I feel pretty excited for this round. I sense that the Wings are rested and really itching to get after the Sharks.

[Yak19]

Round 2 begins


GO WINGS!

[Blaayze]

Round 2.. that good nervous pit in your stomach.. LOOOOOOOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!


L.G.R.W!! *clap clap* *clap clap clap*!

[Nev]

I always worry when a team has a long layoff between rounds, they often come out flat in game 1. Hopefully Detroit can get their legs back quickly.

LETS GO REDWINGS!!

[matt198913]

FINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY Here we go LGW second round opening game. I work atf****** 6 am the next day but I'll be awake for this one.
Game 1 Sharks 4 Wings 6
Should be a high scoring game.
Bold prediction - At least 1 5 on 3 for the Sharks and 1 goal disallowed for the Wings

But seriously 2 from Mule Hank Fil Kroners and Helm with the others
Heatly, Setoguchi, Nichol, and Vlasic for them

[brennan17]

If the wings can get going off the start with a good jump im gonna go with them taking it 4-2. Hopefully they dont come out slow for this one.

[Cloune]

lets go WINGS..win please !

[Esquire]

Let's ****ing RAAAAAGE!!!

I'm predicting another big game from Helm and a breakout performace from Flip.

GO WINGS GO!!!!
