GDT OP fully updated.

Holmstrom will play, and Datsyuk and Zetterberg will start on the same line.

The Wings plan to counter with a line featuring Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, at least at the start of the game, Babcock said. Tomas Holmstrom also is in the lineup, for the sake of the power play.

Babcock's unsure of who sits between Miller, Eaves, and Emmerton. Brunnstrom is a healthy scratch but it sounds like he'll play Saturday.

Never hurts to have another streamer!

thanks bro

[Ram]

Thanks Hockeytown!

Hopefully going to the Joe tonight, let's go boys!!!

[dat's sick]

A game? Already?? Hmm I hope the Wings aren't too tired from those other two games a week ago.


Anyway, the Nucks lost last night and will be looking to win this one. Will be very difficult for us, the first real test of this year's team.

Good to see Homer in the lineup, he always had a way to get inside Luongo's head.

Predicting a 4-3 OT win!

[hooon]

I loved seeing Pavs and Z on the same line last game, hope that continues.

The Canucks looked pretty bad for the first period and a half last night, I didn't watch the rest.


I just want to see a win and a solid 60 and hopefully some improvement on the PP.

GO WINGS!!!

Schneider's never faced the Wings before, this should be interesting.

[hillbillywingsfan]

GREAT GDT as always!!


I think we are going to really take it to the nucks and welcome Schneider to Wings hockey.

Just visting the nucks HF board...geez...even the mods are morons.

"The Twins vs. old man Lidstrom will be a big matchup all game long. Lidstrom's slightly diminished footspeed is made up for by the exceptionally long leash he is given by officials to interfere with players.

I think Hodgson will have a big game. IMO, he looked incredibly strong against Philly last night, and I thought he could have scored a couple. I think his confidence is soaring, and if Samuelsson is able to keep coming to life (offensively, he was pretty good against Philly) that will be a benefit."

Hope Schneider is playing, I want the Wings to light them up but I have Luongo on my fantasy team.

Actually, I was hoping belly-flopping Luongo (GAA 3.89) would be in net which would mean at least 4 goals for us but too bad it is Schneider.

Tonight's forward lines:

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Cleary
Franzen-Filppula-Hudler
Abdelkader-Helm-Bertuzzi
Miller-Emmerton-Holmstrom

Eaves and Brunnstrom out.

[kylee]

always a great opportunity to beat the over-rated Canucks. Finally glad to have Red Wings back after too long after back to back games.

[newfy]

Abdelkader has came out playing feistier than I've seen him in a while so I'll say tongihts his first scrap

ROUND 2



Im thinking that Bertuzzi abby helm line plays great tonight for some reason

[Heroes of Hockeytown]

First GDT I've had a look at this season, and by god it's gorgeous. Great work HT (and Doc?) getting this together, it looks outstanding.

For a change the Canucks are the ones flying in after playing last night (and missing Kesler to boot) while the Wings have had an eternity to sit on their asses and watch the Tigers. This would be a schedule win but for the fact that they're still the Canucks and the Sedins will still score fourteen PPGs tonight. Still, advantage Detroit. Get those two points!

[Z and D for the C]

mlive reports Zetterberg and Datsyuk starting together, with Hudler Flip Franzen as the second line:

REALLY looking for Flip to have a strong game centering the second line. He needs it after being held off the score sheet in games 1 & 2.

That pic and the implied facepalm are instant classics in my book.

I'm going to this game against my better judgement because it's Pavel Bobblehead night, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time watching the Nucks after their disgraceful performances last year. I have no insight one way or the other, I'll just be screaming my fool head off in section 207.

GO WINGS!!

"Im thinking that Bertuzzi abby helm line plays great tonight for some reason"

Me too, in my opinion they have been one of our best lines. Really impressed with Big Berts hustle so far this year

Well hopefully the wings will rip about 5 on Schneider quick so they have to put in flopping flounder luongo and we score another 5 on him=) Just hoping you have a good game there=)

This is different from the OP lines. (Eaves in for Homer) but if these are correct, I find it odd that Eaves isn't playing on a regular basis. Even if they have had two pretty good games as a team. I'm also anxious to see when Brunnstrom gets his first regular season start as well. I hope it's on Saturday.

[LeftWinger]

I would like to know when Brunnstrom is gonna get in... Lets see what he has.

According to the coach, these are the lines. Interesting that Emmerton has yet to sit.

Also, Babcock seems pretty confident that Brunnstrom will play as soon as Saturday.
