• The Red Wings won't stop hearing about their losing streak in Philadelphia -- now at 11 games -- until they end it. Detroit's most recent victory in Philly was in Game 2 of the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals. They haven't won there in the regular season since Jan. 25, 1997.

• Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds is among the NHL leaders in goals (six). Claude Giroux leads the NHL in assists (10).

• Detroit's Darren Helm is among the league leaders in plus/minus (+9). Jimmy Howard is tops in save percentage (.973) and goals against average (0.86).

• The Red Wings are giving up 32.5 shots per game and getting 28.4 shots per game.

• The Flyers are playing relatively high scoring games. They're giving up 3.8 goals per game and scoring 3.5 goals per game, both second highest in the league.

Smith-Oulette? Woof. XO needs to sit. Put in Sproul.

 

[aar000n]

Sproul still sitting? Trashill gonna trash

 

[Ezekial]

I don't see why Sproul sits tbh, makes no sense. Must be due to Smitty playing relatively well on the PP. Sproul's shot alone makes him a necessity in this lineup imo.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Last time the Wings won in Philly...

Jerry Maguire was the biggest movie in the US



The #1 song was Unbreak My Heart



Seinfeld was the number one show and this was the weeks episode



Common Wings, let's be beat these jerk stores!

 

[13to40]

Sproul in the press box again... Have to think they are show casing one of the other stuff for a potential trade? They can't possibly be keeping him out of the lineup thinking it's icing the best available line up...

 

[theYman]

Crap, coulda had tix to this for 18 bucks a piece. Too bad me and my buddy have to work. I'd drive down for that.

 

[theYman]

We need to get Vanek back in the lineup ASAP. How's Kronwall coming along? Is he gonna,be ready anytime soon? Take out Smith for Kronner and plug in Sproul send down XO.

 

[RedWingzz]

Why the hell is Sproul not in the lineup?

4-2 Flyers

Nyquist & Nielsen with goals

 

[RedWingzz]

Kinda funny how Connor McDavid was not born yet the last time Detroit won in Philly. That's nuts.

 

[Frk It]

Let's get a win, let's go Wings! Feeling a big game from D Boss coming.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

I think they are showcasing Ouellet.

Well playing him to see if anyone wants him.

[Ezekial]

The last Mrazek-Neuvirth battle was a beauty, I can see a similar thing happening tonight.

 

[ap3x]

Not being able to watch this one. But hope u guys are witnessing us turning that awful winless in Philly record around. LGRW.

 

[obey86]

I was curious to see how ice time per game has changed for some the forwards from last season to this season....

Nyquist: 15:10 --> 15:52
Helm: 15:04 --> 15:27
Larkin: 16:33 --> 16:01
Zetterberg: 19:25 --> 18:55
Glendening: 14:35 --> 13:25
Athanasiou: 9:01 --> 12:07
Tatar: 14:21 --> 17:13

My first impressions:
It's nice to see Tatar finally getting big ice time but i'm disappointed that Zetterberg is playing about the same amount of minutes per game as he did last year (30 seconds less per game this year). Still way too much ice time for a guy who doesn't produce anymore and can't skate. I'd like to see Nyquist get more ice time and no way should Larkin be getting less ice time than he did last year. AA's ice time is in a good range, 12-13 minutes is fine for him. None of that 6 minute game crap anymore please.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Hope we can actually win one in Philly. Not confident because it has been a house of horrors for us.

 

[Yemack]

Wings should win this one. I dont hink Flyers are a calibre of team to neutralize Wings if we execute properly

 

[NervousPerson]

Thank God No-check isn't doing the colour tonight.

L.G.R.W.

p.s. Sproul should be playing.

 

[dingbathero]

Nyq hat

Looks like Nyq was wearing a Newfoundland flag on his hat.

prolly from Dan Cleary, can anyone confirm this? Or what hat it was?

They have a couple good puck movers and a pretty heavy forecheck when they were going.

They also have hot or cold goaltending, which is really the big problem in Philly. I am hoping for a cold night.

But when the Flyers are on which they haven't been a ton to date this year they can have a suffocating forecheck in my opinion. That is how they went on their big run to close last year.

I missed it, I know Tyler Bertuzzi wears an actual Dan Cleary hat a lot down in the minors.

The ending wasn't pretty with the fans and Cleary. But it isn't hard to see he is an enormously popular player within the Wings entire organization. So it wouldn't surprise me.

I just got a glimpse of it and being from Newfoundland, it is a distinct flag. Would love to know the story, if there is one.

Cleary is/was a top shelf guy while playing for the Red Wings - always done what asked to do, maybe long in the tooth for lots but no fault of his for being loyal...

 

[Yemack]

anthem singer has a nice voice but she can't follow the beat at all

 

[Claypool]

I assume Edzo isn't doing the game tonight because he's watching the Cubs game? Good.

Also, I want a Danny Cleary hat.
