Detroit Red Wings (16-4-2) @ Anaheim Ducks (13-11-3)
It's only fitting that after the genuinely awesome and ridiculous conversation on the latest episode of TP:60 that the Wings are facing a team that used to be owned by Disney. The Ducks have a little streak going. They've won three straight and Bobby Ryan has six goals in his last six games. However, Detroit has also won three straight, but the Wings are only 3-8-1-1 in their last 13 games in Anaheim. What does this all mean? I have no freakin' clue...but I think we can all agree that Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf suck.
THE EXPECTED LINE-UP
Pavel Datsyuk - Henrik Zetterberg - Tomas Holmstrom
Todd Bertuzzi - Valtteri Filppula - Johan Franzen
Jiri Hudler - Justin Abdelkader - Danny Cleary
Drew Miller - Darren Helm - Patrick Eaves
Nicklas Lidstrom - Brad Stuart
Niklas Kronwall - Ruslan Salei
Johnathon Ericsson - Brian Rafalski
Jimmy Howard (starting)
Chris Osgood (charting face-offs)
In the press box: Jakub Kindl (healthy scratch)
Injured: Kris Draper (groin), Mike Modano (wrist)
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
- Randy Carlyle will whine about something.
- Teemu Selanne is a game time decision...I suggest he sits out. Kronwall will be playing and, last I checked, he's a "dangerous player."
- Fighting. There will probably be a fight at some point tonight. Keep your gloves on, Pavel. I'd like to see Abby rip the mustache off Parros' face though.
- Yesterday, I bought a carton of milk at the grocery store. Jiri Hudler's picture was on it.
- I hate the Ducks.
Let's Go Red Wings.
I'm alright pretending we totally planned the Disney talk prior to the Ducks. It literally didn't hit me until I saw it in writing here at BSI, but I'm not above lying.
