The wings were able to will themselves to victory last night, but it's gonna take alot more against Nashville tonight. Lets do it

[puckbags]

Lots of shots tonight, little more north to south rather then east to west. For the 5 minutes we played good last night we started getting pucks to the net.

With this likely being our last game with this skeleton crew it would be MONSTROUS to hit the road with a fuller lineup and another 2 points separation from the Preds. Lets go boys!

[WorkingOvertime]

Good Abby is back in. Hopefully, the Nyquist- Abby- Cleary line is used tonight.

[Hairy Lime]

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the Red Wings will have more than 15 shots on goal! I just have a feeling.

Wings worked hard only for 5-10 minutes last night against the Kings. They should have plenty left in the tank to play for 60 minutes if they want to. Even with injuries the Wings are more talanted than the Preds. Hard work is going to win this one.
Go Wings !

Hopefully Hank and Fil aren't too exhausted from carrying the load last night, we'll need them again. Gotta love four-point games late in the season! Lets go Wings!

[Z and D for the C]

Any word on who's in net tonight? I hope it's Joey or it could be a long night.

It's a long shot no matter what, as long as it isn't Howard. MacDonald is letting some really soft goals.

four-point games

?

Can't wait... St Louis will lose, the Wings will win in OT, making tonight the worst possible outcome for St Louis.

[NorwegianWing]

I'm impressed by the optimism of several posters here. A point would do us a world of good, in our current predicament.

[irishock]

We'll probably be right up with St. Louis by the time Datsyuk comes back. That road game in April against them will probably decide who win the division.\

Anyways, they have 8 of next 10 on the road against Chicago twice, Tampa, Anahiem, LA, Phoenix.

We have a this four game road trip and then a matchup with NY, after that our schedule is pretty easy.

Here's a funny image to keep everyone laughing until the game.

I'm sorry, what? What's a long shot? MacDonald kept us in that game last night. He gave up one soft goal and more than made up for it with that final save at the end of the game.

If the Wings are close in the standings to a team, especially a division rival like Nashville or St. Louis, I consider games between the two clubs to be four-point games. Basically, depending on the outcome there is a 4 point swing in the standings. In this case, a Nashville regulation win means they close on the Wings two points, while a Wings win adds two points to the separation. The same can be said if the Blues win tonight and the Wings lose, or vise-versa, however the two are not related and the positions in the standings in terms of separation can just as easily stand pat. Not to mention nights where the Wings play and another team like St. Louis is idle, the Wings may win, but it doesn't mean a great deal because St. Louis will still have that game in hand. Head-to-head games guarantee both teams burn a game and depending on the outcome (+2 separation or -2) there is a possible four-point swing. A bit convoluted, but does that any make sense? I believe I've heard Babcock refer to games in a similar fashion in the past.

Wings should be fine tonight. The other ten forwards had a good rest last night. JMac will be solid.
