Wings may benefit from the possibility that the Devils are happy to be right where they are in sixth seed and to play the third seed in the first round. They may rest a few key players.

I think the Devils are going for a penalty kill record..... if so that should be easy against the Wings. On the PP Vancouver makes some nifty passes to the skater in front of the net who in turn passes it to a skater coming down into the slot or off to the side of the net.... great play... goalie doesn't see it. I like it better than the attempted tip play.... that is getting boring and is not working. Lidstrom can do a shot pass to Homer who then passes it off to Datsyuk moving down or across or off to the side of the net.


"The Devils’ penalty killing efficiency of 89.8 percent (26 goals against on 256 times shorthanded) would surpass the post-expansion league record of 89.3 percent established by the 1999-2000 Dallas Stars."

Anyone know if Howie or Conks is getting the start?

I haven't read anything, but you would think Babcock wants to warm Howard up for the playoffs. He's just getting back to form.

Oh, you forgot Helm from the injury report.

Hopefully win this one. Hate the devils. Go wings

For some reason I thought Howe when I read Howie. Lol, it would probably be better than Emmerton anyway. Gordie could probably still snipe a goal or two, must line him up with Dats.

[evilzyme]

Lets carry the effort from last night and push to finish the season strongly. LGW Hopefully Howie gets the nod tonight and Saturday but im not sure how Babs is going to treat that groin.

Dear Wings,
Remember how you played after St. Louis scored two goals?
Play like that again. Just don't wait until the Devils score two goals.
Don't let them score any. Just play like you did when you were down by two.
Remember that? Yeah. Good times.

Love, Your friend, Karen

I lol'd. Love it!

I must confess that I fell asleep last night, mid-game, and missed all goals and the shootout. I shall have a nap a few hours beforehand tonight, so as to be primed for viewing this evening Jersey is being nicely laundered also as I speak, so I can get this smelly vintage one off!

Lets Go Wings

[Esquire]

It will sure be nice to watch Parise play at the Joe.

Wings 3 - Mule/Pav/Gus
Devils 1 - Parise

GO WINGS GO!!!

[syntax]

Play as hard as we did last night, and we win. I hope the team has enough gas left in the tank to do so.

LGW!!!!!!!

[WizardOfOz30]

We need to play like we did at the end of the game for a full 60 minutes....let's get going for the playoffs because if they continue to play this way they won't make it far.

Go Wings!!!

Haha Word.

Here's hoping, with Quincey's one-game suspension behind us, last night was the last we've seen of Kindl.

[DatsyukDangles]

Let's get some more of this going, eh?:

[ace76]

Someone needs to slap Berts and his mule before the game so they can start this game like they finished the last one. Oh yah, and lock Kindl out of the building.

LGRW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ray1905]

The Wings need a win tonight if they want home ice, Nashville has 2 "easy" games to finish the season.

[MidMichSteve]

I hope there is no let-down after their great comeback last night.
LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!
