I got this one started a little early since the game is an early one tomorrow.

The lines are purely speculative on my part, I guessed based on the lines they used in practice and Franzen and Sammy making their returns. When I see lines posted by Khan or someone else I'll update them.

The Wings have played Chicago well twice now and both times fell short in OT. Lets hope Ericsson keeps the puck in the rink this time and hopefully we can take 2 pts from them.

Oh man, that is great! You keep one upping yourself, flashy. Datsyuk looks so awkward in the suit and hat. Funny stuff.

Not sure if this could help you or not. While the lines themselves are mixed up (1st line could be 3rd line, and 2nd line could be 1st line), the line combinations are way more often than not accurate, so you could conceivably get the line combos from last game to this game, barring significant injuries.

I've used that site and this one for most of my GDT's but they much like us are just going by whats reported by teams beat reporters.

Babcock doesn't make a habit of telling the reporters his lines until the day of, if at all.

I probably won't be certain of the lines until right before the game with it being so early.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

No Sharp or Hossa.

Should be an easy win, but Wings will find a way to lose.

 

[KJoe88]

I have a feeling that the Wings will smoke them in this one.

Has it been confirmed that Eaves is playing over Toots? Would rather have Toots in for this one.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

You're not Mindfly. Double negative could screw this all over...

 

[Syckle78]

4-2 wings hank shakes the slump and gets a hattrick.

It hasn't been confirmed at all.

I'd prefer Tootoo over a lot of players in the line-up.

 

[BinCookin]

6-1 Wings cause who knows what can happen.

Kindl scores

 

[mindfly]

No hossa no sharp... maybe no stålberg... chicago is still the better team, and wings always lose on national television.. I say 3-2 loss in OT or SO.

 

[GT500x]

Ugh, wide-shot Sammy might be back... I'm gonna go get all the puke out now.

and great artwork FlashyG

 

[MBauer]

If Z's line actually shows up we will win, i feel like they haven't been relevant for like the past 20 games.

 

[Z40]

Another stellar GDT!

 

[Bench]

And all that jazz!

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

OMG! I made the GDT!!!! This is better than the horse hat! Thanks Flashy, great GDT as always!!!

 

[WesNichols14]

Thankfully no Chelsea Dagger
its the only time I'm not happy to hear that song, wish we had a goal song to piss off visiting teams and fans.

 

[14ari13]

No Sharp or Hossa.

Should be an easy win, but Wings will find a way to lose.

I did not they were out.

I am glad Franzen and Samuelsson play.

 

[InjuredChoker]

No Sharp or Hossa.

Should be an easy win, but Wings will find a way to lose.

No Lidström or Stuart.

Should be an easy win, but Hawks will find a way to lose.

 

[Lugaid]

What a fantastic GDT, nicely done FlashyG

Their forward lineup does not scare me one bit. Our lines look slightly bizarre as well though, I'm not too happy about Brunner on the third line, but I guess he hasn't performed too well lately. I keep forgetting that Sammy plays for us, I just hope he doesn't humiliate himself too much. Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind having Bertuzzi back soon.

 

[ProPAIN]

Great GDT Flashy! Thanks for putting in all this work for these.

Decent time for us Euros to enjoy a Wings game. Hawks are definitely the best team in the West and will look to bounce back from the loss against the Ducks. I'm fed up of losing to these guys at home though.

These games are usually really close, I wouldn't mind a nice blowout.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Hilarious

 

[SoupNazi]

I'm quoted. I'm now famous.

Thanks Flashy. Great GDT!

 

[Vyacheslav]

No Sharp or Hossa.

Should be an easy win, but Wings will find a way to lose.

Recipe for a Red Wings loss if I have ever seen one
