Good Luck WW88.

I'd like to see C-Bus take two points tonight (Wings can get a loser point)

So close to a perfect comment.

I am not comfortable. Jackets have called up Tim Erixon, although he did not practice with the team today. I am also worried that Richards will put in Boll and leave in Umberger, even though the absence of Tropp was obvious on the Island. If it was me, here's how I'd run the lines (because a shakeup is needed);

Foligno - Joey - Jenner
Horton - Dubinski - Atkinson
Calvert - Anisimov - Tropp
Comeau/Frattin - Letestu - DMac

But I imagine Tropp and Comeau will be out in favor of Umberger and Boll.

All I am looking for is for the Jackets to look like it matters. And for Alfredsson to suck.

Detroit had better play three times better than they did last game. They were really lucky to come out with a point.

I just hope to see the Jackets team that played Carolina rather than the one that played the Isles.

Need a playoff game effort tonight.

Minor change on D, Nikitin is out, Schultz is in.

Schultz can skate a little better and hit a little harder than Nikitin. Also looks like Erixon is not getting in the game, which is a relief.

 

[Trudem]

Massive game for both teams. Im hoping that a 3rd point is not awarded...unless it is Detroit that would be getting it.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Big game for both teams tonight

 

[sherbert1421]

playoff type game. going to be fun

mitch callahan making his debut for the wings tonight. will be the 8th player to make their nhl debut for the wings this season. crazy

Heading out in 20 minutes, been doing my superstitious BS stuff all day.

Wings need to make this a 4 point game in their advantage. St. Louis trounces the Leafs, Wings win would put them up, AND two games in hand.

If the Wings are getting their asses handed to them, and y'all see some dude jump from the 2nd row upstairs, that would be me.

Can you try to land on that "Arty Party" guy? He is annoying.
