Pre-Game Talk: Wings at Sabres

[KJoe88]

This game should have one simple mindset for the Wings.

Win.

Babcock better not dress Bertuzzi unless it's in a nice suit for his exclusive press box seats.

I second this.

I third this.

Why are we shuffling lines? They won 4 in a row and were tied 3-3 with 7 minutes left on a back to back in Montreal.

Yeah this makes absolutely no sense, Whats so ever.

Well, even if they win this game Jersey can still catch them.

The magic number is 5.

I'm a bit worried.

Am I reading that site right? After Jersey's loss, we only need 3 more points in any fashion and we're in?

hey wing fans...hawk fan missing our rivalry....and wondering if Gustavsson gets a start in the B2B? If he does is it Buffalo?

Thanks...

Correct. 3 pts assuming Jersey wins out.

If Gustavsson gets a start it'll be in Pittsburgh. You start your starter when you need 2 pts against the worst team in the league and on the first night of a back to back.

alright thanks, looking for a spot start and I am willing to take the gamble of gustavsson vs Pitt..

can't wait to see a wings team with Dats and Zetts surprise the east.....I think you guys if healthy could go deep with a lineup of that includes those two...

If either the Wings or the Blue Jackets clinch the 1st WC spot before the final game of the season, then expect Gustavsson to start the final game against St. Louis. Otherwise, it'll be Howard all the way.

So once again DRW play the (by far) worst team in the NHL, a team that has NOTHING to play for while the wings can (almost) clinch a playoff spot to continue the awsome playoff legacy of the Wings. Anything BUT a WIN is not an OPTION. Get I T D O N E.

My heart demands no struggles in the 3rd, get it done in the 1st and 2nd. Thanks!

This week will be very uneventful if they just get the wins out of the way now. This is basically the team we'll have for the balance of the playoffs (barring a Hank return)...I want to see a killer instinct from these guys.
