****ing please, Wings. If ever there was a game to come out swinging and not let up for 60 minutes...

 

[KJoe88]

I believe the expections tonight is for Mantha to score and for us to win, yes?

I'm hoping both come true.

YUGE GAME.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Not feeling confident for this one

 

[hyduK]

Please win.

I don't care how. Well, not OT/SO preferably.

 

[Ennui]

I'm going to make a prediction that Mantha has a Gordie Howe hat-trick tonight - The fight will be with Radko Gudas, I'm sure.

 

[ap3x]

Now or never. LGRW.

 

[Claypool]

Now is the time to get a win in Philly.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Just ****ing win, please and thanks.

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

The playoffs start today.

LGRW

I'm going to make a prediction that Mantha has a Gordie Howe hat-trick tonight - The fight will be with Radko Gudas, I'm sure.

Gudas has put at least 3 players out this year with hits to the head. Hope everybody keeps there head up tonight. Gudas put Franzen out a few years back too.

I'll take the goal and assist for Mantha, but if there is any fighting to be done. I would rather see Ericsson handle that.

 

[WingedWheel1988]

If we don't show up in the next two games, we don't deserve the playoffs. Hoping for a win here lets go boys.

I haven't been this excited for a game since, well, the beginning of the season.

 

[Vladdy84]

Must win

Lets go Big Tony!

LGRW

Just win baby!

Best case scenario: Mantha scores 5, Philly doesn't score and it shatters Philly's confidence and they fall into a pit of despair. Detroit rides this newfound scoring Phenom to an insane 30 goal regular season and a cup.

I wanted to keep my expectations fairly realistic.

Man, why do you have to be such a negative nancy

 

[Filppula]

Wish Jurco was playing but otherwise, love those forward lines.

 

[Sami]

Just ****ing win.

 

[ap3x]

Man, why do you have to be such a negative nancy

Stuff like that makes this board so hard to read at times. Pure negativity.

 

[aar000n]

Big game if we win our cup chances go up by +0.2%!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats worth fighting for .

 

[Eggberto]

I prefer the term realist! Or pragmatist.

 

[Ezekial]

I'm very excited for this game. Finally beating Philly in Philly and Mantha with the NHL debut hat trick is going to be special.

I see two things wrong in this statement.

 

[FlashyG]

The last time the Wings won in Philly was Jan 25, 1997.

I'd say we're due for a win there tonight.
