[the]

I'm assuming Jaroslav Halak will get a shutout

 

[SirPaste]

Woo! Cant wait for tonight, need my hockey fix. Really excited to see Frank play in person. So what are the chances that we can get a Carlo chant going tonight, since Osgood is no longer a Wing.

 

[last_sd]

Could any of you guys post most likely line up combo for Blues tonight?

Yay hockey is back!

EDIT:

this is Wings' practice line yesterday

Z- Datsyuk- Brunner
Franzen- Fil- Samuelsson
Eaves- Abbie- Cleary
Miller- Emmerton- Tootoo

Kronner- Ericsson
Quincey- Smith
Cola- White

Howard

Injury: Helm, Bertuzzi, Kindl

 

[Lord Helix]

Where's that ridiculous Russian video when we need it?

Blues win 3-2...CarvinSigX gets drunk.

I think he's injured.

Edit: I guess he got better.

 

[Tryblot]

Finally! Been waiting for this. I bet all my Vcash on the Blues tonight.

4-2 Blues.

[joe300zx]

I just cant wait to hear the player introductions!! I am pumped to hear them call out #91!! And i swear if the person sitting next to me or anywhere around me says "who's that?" i will probably lose it!


Sooo pumped can't wait!! I already starting drinking too going to be a fun night!!

 

[Mike Liut]

Its official, Schwartz in the lineup

Very cool. Really pulling for Cole, Schwartz and Frank.

 

[ExJbeck]

There will be a penalty shot tonight.
Pietro has 2pts tonight.
Brunner will surprise a lot people.
