Just so you know, the game number in the title is wrong for last game, and this.

They have played 52 games, so this would be the 53rd game.

Awesome, have a great time LGRW

I keep forgetting we're a real hockey team. I was about to post how this is going to be a tough test against one of the better teams in the league and then looked and realized we're 1 point behind Vancouver right
now.

Edit - whoops, hadn't updated tankathon. We're 1 point ahead!

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I’m going to the game!

f*** them up, Wings! Make all the Pettersson’s cry like a kid that skinned their knee!

 

[HoweFan]

Good luck Wings. You are playing great

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Keep it rolling boys, surprise me again with another road W tonight.

Well if it doesn't stay in tact we know who to blame

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

It's something like a 20 hour turnaround between the end of yesterday's game and puck drop today.

Ridiculous.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

All blame shall be directed at Uncle Fester (still)

Wings #1, Nucks #28. Nuff said.

Please don't fail again vs weak team (Sharks), just do it!

Leaving aside my detest for this 4 nation tournament in the middle of the season, the compression of the schedule to fit it in is a killer for all teams. At least they are catching the Canucks returning from a road trip.

This Canucks team has a first line about on par with Detroit’s, but their healthy forward depth is poopier than our injured forward depth. They also seem mentally fragile. That said, I hope Jake DeBrusk stops killing us on the scoresheet.

I’d really like to see Tank shipped out and we get an upgrade in the form of a 2/3W tweener. Also a Holl replacement would be nice. He was the only defenseman that sucked last night.

 

[nhlisawesome]

Hughes in a game time decision he looked pretty hurt to end their game Friday evening. If he's out that is HUGE for us

 

[KJoe88]

Big game.

HUGE GAME.

For some reason I’m feeling a spicy one. It’s going to be difficult imo because of the turn around.

is Kane playing tonight?

It's been nice knowing ya.

Red Wings elite security team is likely on the way to your house right now for even asking a question about one of their alleged injured players.

They activated him from IR today. So I'd guess he's playing.

Who do you scratch? Hopefully not shine

Ridiculous.

Yeah, that's why I feel this one could be a let down. Hopefully Vancouver goes full Rangers and have no interest in playing hockey.

Splitting this road trip is what they needed to do to stay in the playoff hunt and that has already happened.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Thinking positive thoughts about Kane being back tonight.

Have fun at the game.

I think the travel, mental fatigue, and getting yourself mentally prepared and focused for the next game is the biggest part. I don't think a 20 hour turnaround while playing at home would be much of an issue but traveling can suck. I remember playing hockey tournaments as a kid and having 2 games a day in back to back days, then the "gold medal" game would be an early Sunday game. My sister would play in the womens tournament in Brampton every year and they would play multiple games a day as well. Of course we were kids and had endless energy, but you could also look at it from the perspective of these guys being professional athletes who have been playing their entire lives and train year round.
