Please someone tell me we can beat the Canucks. I live in Kelowna, it's about a 4 hours drive from Vancouver. They have some of the most irritating goddamn fans in the world. Bunch of delusional band wagon jumping know nothing crybabies. I will be absolutely devastated if we can't beat them. Our goalie plays better. We have more heart, and they haven't beaten us in regulation in like three years. And my dog is wearing her lucky Red Wings collar and bandana (Dekeyser is her favorite). So someone give me some support, tell me how they will grind them out. LGRW

I would love to know how you know DeKeyser is her favorite.

Scratch that, maybe I wouldn't.

Regardless, I have faith we can beat the ginger twins and take another W against the Nucks. LGW!!

I will say this this, when we play against Ryan Miller, we tend to bring our A game. I don't know if it's just that drew wants to beat his brother so bad and the whole team rallies around that, or what. We should win though, but don't discredit them, or underestimate them, they are the highest seed in the league.

What a crappy time for a game.

GO WINGS!

[arag 308]

This should be a high scoring game with some pretty goals. Go Wings !

[Nev 1,085]

So on the one hand we're playing a realgud team, which usually means we play realgud

On the other, its a matinee game which usually means we sleepwalk through it.

Not sure what to expect here....

What a crappy time for a game.

GO WINGS!

Perfect time for us fans in Europe!

[Desert Rat 78]

Grind them out is a good way to get it done, racing them go 5 is definitely not the way to get a W in this one.

[wings87 1,290]

Hopefully we can continue the high scoring, it's been one of the funnest stretches to watch in a long time.

[13dangledangle 968]

I really just hope we show up. Not another maple leafs travesty, these early games always seem to be a struggle to find a rhythm.

[Jersey Wing 1,521]

You do not become the Detroit Red Wings by regularly losing to the Canucks. Whether the game be at 2pm, 10:30 PDT or 8 in the morning.

Wings 3 Canucks 2

Well well well....a fellow Wings fan in Kelowna! Its nice to know I'm not alone! and yes, the Canucks fans around here are some of the worst fans in all of hockey.

I'm only 60 minutes south of Vancouver (20 min from the border). I've got to put up with Canuck fans, Seahawks fans, AND Richard Sherman fans!

The Ginger Ninjas have found a good linemate in Vrrbrta. Fans are excited as Bonino has been a great surprise from the Kesler trade. Taney apparently has really stepped up on D, and Ryan Miller has apparently regained form.

Not sure why they let Santorelli walk, but it doesn't seem like they're missing him.

These two teams mirror each other quite well, looking forward to the game. It will be 11:00 am out here, I may watch the game in my pajamas. :-)

Thank you holland!

[krsmith17 7,191]

Yeah, I don't get this at all... I honestly don't think Kindl has been playing nearly as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, but there's no question that a third pairing of Ouellet - Smith is 100X better than Kindl - Smith. I do think Kindl has looked decent on the power-play but Smith or Ouellet could get the job done there as well if given the chance.

[TheXym 2,606]

Looking forward to the first 4 game win streakof the season for the boys. I've got a good feeling about this one. It's a bummer about X-O Manowar being sent down, but if Smith is in beast mode, It may be for the best, as I think Ouellet needs to play big minutes, and with the confidence gained from this callup he may become dominant for the Griffs, which will elevate his play when he comes back up.

Yeah, I agree. My one gripe with Kindl is the fact that he is taking XO's spot. I get why Holland just can't waive him. As we still need depth in case of injuries.

So really, get rid of Andersson. All we need is a roster spot, after all.

[T.Low 1,011]

Tennessee, Windsor, Port Hope, England, Hollywood, Vancouver, Kelowna B.C., Pennsylvania, New Foundland, Washington State, Texas, Jersey City, and that's just the first page of the GDT. Way to Represent, LGW!

[derblaueClaus 1,668]

It's pretty obvious : They are trying to shop Kindl around to get fully rid of his cap. If they bury him in the minors that won't happen. I agree that Oullet should stay up from a performance standpoint but I can also see the calamitys Holland is in. Let's just hope we can get rid of Kindl as fast as possible.

@T.Low Add Germany to that list.
