GDT: Game #2 | Detroit Red Wings @ Carolina Hurricanes | 7:00 PM EST | FS-D

[Vladdy84]

Dream on, friend.

I know may as well just add a 1 in front of that 6 and 7.

 

[babcockscowl]

Was kind of hoping with a back to back they would work Tatar into one of these games and was thinking this one.

oh well

 

[opivy]

82 goal pace

That Sammy, he's so hot right now.

 

[Eastopia]

oh well

Don't worry, he and Nyquist will both play tonight.

 

[Henkka]

At least Nyquist in playing today at Rochester.

 

[Vladdy84]

Look! It's the Wings 5th and 6th best Forwards!

 

[Syckle78]

At least Nyquist in playing today at Rochester.

I'm sure he's thrilled.

Daaaannnng! Can we get this guy an extension?!?

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I normally don't make these type of prediction threads. But, I say Detroit wins this game 3-2. Goals from Tlusty, Weiss, Zetterberg, J. Staal, and Abdelkader.

 

[towersfall]

Am I the only one that's noticed in the OP you have Staal's points listed at 35 instead of 53?

 

[gretskidoo]

BYLSMA HAHAHHAHA

wow ok, get a grip ES

Pretty sure they asked 28 Pens players, Selänne and Havlat.

 

[OwkBlue]

Want to see better offense this game,to say the least. Should have put up seven on Wednesday...

 

[KJoe88]

Should be interesting. Carolina isn't bad. I thought last year they stunk due to Cam Ward going down; I think they'll surprise this year.

Anyways, Wings win 4-2 and the 2nd line starts to click. Mule two goals, Alfie one, and Z. I would like to see a more organized game tonight. The Sabres kinda took it to us in the 3rd... gotta be better tonight!

 

[DanZ]

Why are E. Staal and Howard's names red in the OP state lines?

 

[Zetterbergs Beard]

They're highlighted because the pictures next to the statlines are pictures of them.

 

[Dynheart]

should be mrazek imo.

I bet Howard plays back to back. Mrazek is an awesome goalie, but didn't play lights out during preseason. I bet Babcock plays Howard back to back for that reason. Especially because it's the Bruins, and a tough opponent (giving the best chance the win early, probably will be his mindset).

If anything Mrazek should start tonight, not tomorrow; if he's going to play. But something tells me he'll be warming the bench charting. I hope I'm wrong...Howard needs to stop being ran into the ground every season. Although he seems to be able to handle it just fine ( a rare quality in a goalie).

 

[Frk It]

Hopefully the wings get a lot of Power Plays, so Sammy can shoot as many slappers from the point as possible

It is a good thing his shot isn't hard enough to break the glass, think of all the delays if that was the case.

At Dan Cleary.

 

[Frk It]

At Dan Cleary.

Needs to be more than that.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

So they give Mrazek and Tatar the Boston game.... I um... Yeah position to fail, I guess what do they say if they are both extremely successful against that team, cannot wait for the BS to fall out of Babcock's mouth if that happens.

Not the first time Babcock has done something dumb like this.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not the first time Babcock has done something dumb like this.

Yeah he pretty much trotted them out against Malkin and company to sell why he could demote or press box them in my opinion. Funny part being they actually did a pretty admirable defensive job considering the matchup he threw them under the bus with. But there is something really stinky about how he is trying to give these guys chances and then claiming ties or whatever bs.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Last time Weiss played Carolina, he fought Justin Faulk.. Just throwing that out there.
