Big game tonight. We will win in overtime!

If this is anything like Ducks teams of the past (and I think it is) then they are going to take a lot of dumb penalties throughout this series. I hope our power play responds well.

p.s. I hope Kronwall separates Selanne from the puck...hard. I don't hate Teemu or anything, but I would love to hear him cry about it.

Wings are looking tough lately. Will be interesting to see their composure. Loving DeKeyser when it comes to focus and composure. Smith, Quincey, and Kindl all suddenly became a little more reliable once 65 joined the squad.

Noooooo! Regulation! Lol getting sleep tonight would be nice

I feel sick I'm so nervous lol. But it is a beautiful sick. I heart playoff hockey.

And yay Wild!!

I think if we get off on the right foot, we can take this series in 6... the Ducks are scared of us.

...Smith, Quincey, and Kindl all suddenly became a little more reliable once 65 joined the squad.

Probably because of reduced ice time.

Did they announce who the Wings will call up for their "Black Aces"?

[Rhah 195]

Looks like we won't be getting Pierre and Edzo for at least the first 3 games of this series on NBC sports!

On Hawks pregame Homer Eddie actually said he didn't think Hawks would make it out of the west, too tough... I think he is using reverse psychology, he might be stealing some of forum members mojo style.

Probably nobody yet, as the Griffins are in the playoffs.

With a lot of youth on our roster we have to be careful in not taking bad penalties. I know the Ducks are bigger but I would love see our guys bang them a little bit. Don't back down and play smart. The back can't play lazy because these Ducks are big and fast.

GO WINGS!!!

I guess I'll just post it here... Its too funny to pass up

Play with this kind of fire, Howard! (maybe with a little more control/ restraint)

What happened to the 250 post thread?

I was wondering the same... I smell a Bettman

I know we're all bored and anxious for the game to start, but this is still a GDT. Can we please keep the extraneous chatter to the Water Cooler or PMs?

Thank you!

Oh god please -- no overtime. Not for the West Coast games...

This! Us in newfie land have work in the morning! the game doesnt start till midnight as is for us! lol

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

I can say for once Im cool as a cucumber waiting for the real season to start. Getting to 22 post-seasons was my hope this year, every number at the top of the page I see is gravy.

[Guest irishock]

Living in the west coast is great.

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

Living in the west coast is great.

I might argue that on certain points but as far as watching hockey at a reasonable hour is concerned, I couldn't agree with you more.

where are we supposed to see the beginning of the game when this hawks game goes too long?

[marcaractac 3,963]

if anyone needs a stream PM me for a link! especially if hawks/wild goes to OT.

I got me TSN, but i have a link page ready to go for those in need!

I was just going to post this lol! I'm loving the 7:30 start time out West, means I don't have to sneak out of work early!

Let's come out running on all cylinders.

[beachwing 426]

Looks like these boring ass early games are going to run long and screw up my Wings coverage on tv here in Fl...yuck
