A great 24 hours:
Penguins lose. Crosby crying. *check*
Canucks lose and go home, the overrated clowns they always are. *check*
Leafs blaming the refs for being down in their series, and Boston talking like Cup champs of 2 years ago. *check*

Tonight, I hope whatever is left of Samuelssons memory - he'd do well to remember what those two guys on his line represent. This is one of your last opportunities, Sammy. And NO wristshots to the chest, okay?
I expect every player to be ready to fight through Anaheims cheap shots and Perrys big mouth, and look to the crest on their jersey as inspiration.

Nobody thought we would make the playoffs (laughable) ... and now we are 2 W's away from a very classic matchup versus Chicago. If we play the way we did in Game 4, we can wrap this up Friday. The Duckies have NO response to our hardwork and hustle - that much is obvious.

""TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED""

Go Wings!!!

This is the Game Day Thread. Let's keep it about tonight's game.

If someone wants to start (another) thread about Holland's moves or lack thereof, go for it. But I'm tired of the game day thread being clogged up with posts about moves Holland didn't make AND the inevitable replies about fans being spoiled and smug lectures about what constitutes a real fan.
 

 

A little over an hour until puck drop.

^^ This.

 

 

Gonna miss Danny D but let's start strong and get the wiin. Take the series lead and get Anaheim re-thinking themselves a little. The young guys continue to get that experience.

 

GO WINGS!!!!!

No. Holland doesnt have it in him to risk a "HUGE" trade. He will do nothing today and then give Fil 5+ million this offseason.

Yeah its funny, our organization was recently rated #10 in terms of talent. You'd think Holland would do something this year to shore up this weak defense [big guys who don't hit]. We know Kenny trots out the same old same old every deadline - nothing there ... won't overpay ... we were close ... we added DeKeyser, so that's our pickup - so I am not expecting much.

And seeing as 3rd rounders are netting trade partners so far, I wish he'd improve this team this year. We are middle of the pack, and aside from 2 or 3 teams, no-one is guaranteed anything this year.

Wings win 3-1.

Then it's on to the home opener tomorrow and Zetterberg's Captain ceremony.

 

GO WINGS!
