DetroitFolly 10 Posted December 27, 2007 Should be a good one, despite the rivalry losing its lustre. I still don't like the Avalanche. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjk49202 10 Posted December 27, 2007 For christmas my girlfriend got two tickets for the game tonight. It sucks Zetterberg and Homer are not playing. Hopefully I can get to the game. It's snowing like crazy outhere. GO Wings! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben9753 47 Posted December 27, 2007 Everbody talks abould Zetterberg, and rightfully so, but Datsyuk has quietly crept up in the scoring race. He is only 4 points behind Zetterberg and is second in the league in assists. Nice job by Holland locking him up for eternity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's snowing like crazy outhere. GO Wings!I read that for the first time in ten years the avalanche have games that aren't sold out this year. Kind of like detroit. I guess you can't have a good baseball team and a good hockey team in one city. oh well. At least in Detroit all the moneys going to the same man anyway.

copper95b 10 Posted December 28, 2007 Hasek makes me nervous..... Wish he'd hang up the skates.... Wings look good and I still hate Colorado, almost as much as I hate OSU! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DetroitFolly 10 Posted December 28, 2007 A strong win. Homer and Zets sit again, and the Wings simply get goals elsewhere. Filppula is really starting to impress me. Nice to see Chelios get some rest as well. Hopefully they can keep him fresh. Also...Hasek was really sharp. He hasn't lost in quite awhile. The one guy on the Avs I do like is Joe Sakic. Too bad he's out for 3 months or so. He's getting up there...we'll see if he ever truly comes back from this Hernia. Anyway, a good win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
