Question - Does WW write all that stuff or is it copied and pasted from somewhere? It's very detailed.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Wings scoring 11 on Edmonton (as long as the Oil score 10 or less).

just realized that the wings play back to back with both games at home. last time that happened was in 05 when they had to reschedule a game because of the jiri fischer incident. the schedule has been so strange this year

Edit: it happened in the cup finals in 09 too but that was the playoffs

Guess Bertuzzi's injured and not out with the flu, thanks to that missed high stick by Diverdouchie last week...

DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward Todd Bertuzzi was back on the ice Thursday for practice, but only the first half of it. He's still trying to get over some dizziness and a sinus infection and won't play in the next two games, Friday against Edmonton (7:30 p.m.) and Saturday vs. Dallas (7 p.m.), both at home.

Bertuzzi hasn't been the same since being hit in the face by Devin Setoguchi's stick in the Oct. 29 game at Minnesota. He played the next two games, but it kept getting worse, so he has sat out the past two.

"Dizzy and lightheaded, just got a little swelling in my ears, got to get my balance back,'' Bertuzzi said. "I just didn't feel myself. I got a sinus infection, got my ears checked, got a little swelling in there.''

He said he had no energy and was "dragging out there.''

“I wanted to come out (today) and see how my balance was, skate around with guys,'' Bertuzzi said.

He looks like he's lost some weight, but when he was asked he said, “I don't know. If I say, yeah, then it looks bad on my wife for not cooking right.''

No changes to the lines they skated with the last game:

Cleary-Datsyuk-Holmstrom

Filppula-Zetterberg-Franzen

Hudler-Helm-Abdelkader

Miller-Emmerton-Brunnstrom/Eaves

Lidstrom-White

Kronwall-Stuart

Ericsson-Kindl/Commodore

Howard (starting)

Conklin

And actually, I will miss tomorrow's game, and Saturday's game but I wanted to put up one more GDT before departing.

re: bertuzzi, sure as hell sounds like he got a concussion, doesn't it? if so, he could be out for a while.

tough two game home stand for the wings. though, they have been putting the puck in the net much better. would love to see them take down the upstart oilers.


and, oh yeah...


FUCK DALLAS

Imo, the grinders need to shine tonight. Those young Oilers are looking pretty good. Some down and dirty hockey should throw them off their game.

I hope the Wings light up HappyBoozin' like a Xmas tree...

 

[higgyfan4]

Looks like Hank is either doubtful or out tonight, he has a "middle body injury."

 

[SLY]

GO RED WINGS!!!

Yeah, everytime I say that, the drunk bastard plays out of his mind..

Z's back hurts? Who won the office pool on how many games that would take?


I suppose since the Mule got his trick, he'll coast for about 10 to 15 games too...

i'm guessing lower back injury

Actually, it sounds more like he's got a stomach bug, at least that's what it sounds like according to the Freep:

Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg left this morning’s skate early and is questionable to play tonight against the Edmonton Oilers.

"I think he's in, but I'm not 100% sure," coach Mike Babcock said.

Babcock characterized Zetterberg's problem as "not an upper body, not a lower body. It's a middle body. How's that? I don't know if it's anything.

"If he's feeling good, he'll be playing. If he's not feeling good, he won't be playing."

Zetterberg practiced Thursday and took the ice again this morning at Joe Louis Arena, so it sounds like he might be experiencing a bug of some sort, rather than an injury. Forward Todd Bertuzzi has been battling a sinus infection for most of the week, and forward Jiri Hudler also was sick earlier, though he blamed that on food poisoning.
