As much as I want Detroit to win I just don't have high hopes for this one. Tampa is scary good right now, the only thing working in the Wings favor is Tampa is coming in after playing yesterday.

Were going to be without datsyuk, but hopefully Jurco will be in over Andersson or cleary...

I think sitting out two games got the point across, and they need to see if he can get going or if they should send him down, here's to hoping for a Jurco hat trick.

LETSGOWINGS!!!

I covet everyone being able to attend this game tonight. Stevie Y back in town and with him Mr. Buzz Lightyear himself (Stamkos), the swedish Hulk (Hedman) and the young and upcoming top center Drouin..add to that guys like Palat, Johnston and wow has Stevie ever built a powerhouse there.

A point would be huge

This is going to be awesome. Too bad Pasha is out. It is time for the kids to shine.

Go Wings !

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

Tough game, but usually the Red Wings play well against stronger opponents. 1-3 Red Wings !

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

If this team starts on time and keeps the pressure on, you never know what will happen. They just have to remember Tampa Bay plays the dreaded "trap" which I completely loathe.

GO WINGS!

Personally I'm not a fan of Abby with Tatar and Riley Id like to see him swapped with Mule: Tatar Sheahan Franzen!

Edit: either way I hope we see a win and Tats and Goose both net 2!

Great, I knew as soon as Cleary was inserted into the lineup he wouldn't leave. Third line minutes now.....

To be fair he earned it. He's working hard out there and is also reasonable fast. Definitely not the anchor he once was.

I hope wings hit the crap out of that Gudas guy. Go Wings !

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Pav confirmed not to play.

[krsmith17 7,191]

derblaue, you're forgetting that Cleary is a LGW whipping boy favorite... Don't you know that it doesn't matter how he plays, he f*cking sucks... Same goes for Franzen and Kindl...

Cleary has looked great out there. I'd love to see him take over Andersson's spot on the forth line if he can keep up the same pace.

[marcaractac 3,963]

To be fair he has played great the last couple games and has earned his place on the 3rd line. Cleary playing at this level is a Cleary that makes this team better. It's nothing to complain about really. I'm happy to see he is healthy and skating well again.

Got a new puppy last week, so I haven't been able to watch a game from start to finish. But I might actually get a chance watch this game. So how about a win?! LGW!

[brett 1,029]

get to watch 2 dmen i wanted on the wings gudas and stralman

[SimonSin 192]

Wings will lose today. Tampa played yesterday but that was a breeze for them. Tampa is just the better team in my opinion. Don't see a win today but I hope I'm wrong.

[joesuffP 1,746]

3-2 OT win for the wings

[marcaractac 3,963]

3-2 OT win for the wings

In a thread full of predicted losses I'd have never thought you'd be the one predicting a win

Gonna have to dig deep, but I think they could pull it off. Howie needs to have a strong game. Having Quincey back will be huge. Cleary with the game winner just to make LGW explode.

[MabusIncarnate 5,344]

Updated with graphics.

Let's get this done boys, Wings win 4-1.

LETS GO WINGS!

So far, he's built a team that hasn't won anything and was swept in the first round last year.

I never predict a loss. Tampa has won five straight coming off a big win last night and quick turnaround to Detroit. This could be a let down game for them. We've seen the wings play great hockey agaimst elite teams I believe they can beat anybody.

Went to the conference final two years ago and appears to be one of the elite teams in the league now. Not bad for being so early into his tenure as GM.

Nashville and the NYI appear to be elite right now too. He inherited a team with a great deal of talent and has been there almost 5 years and like I said, hasn't won anything.
