Former Red Wing Andreas Lilja returns to Detroit tonight with his new team, the Anaheim Ducks.

Lilja hadn't signed with the Ducks last time these two teams met, in the season opener on October 8. I'm sure no one needs reminding of what happened then but just for the record: Pavel Datsyuk. Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

Todd Bertuzzi will be a game-time decision, having injured his foot blocking a shot on Thursday against the Flames. He didn't skate yesterday but thinks he'll be ready tonight. If he can't go, Justin Abdelkader will crack the Wings' lineup, returning from his rib injury.

Abdelkader could be in the lineup anyway if the Red Wings opt to go with a more physical look to their fourth line to counter the Ducks' aggressiveness but no changes are expected.

Jimmy Howard gets the start in goal.

Love watching the Wings on a Saturday night!

[fitch.1918]

Let's get one on this pp

[fitch.1918]

Sloppy pp

[YzerFan19]

Power play looked sloppy again. I wish I could say I was surprised.

Edit:

Sloppy pp

Like you said.

[fitch.1918]

Let's try it again

[fitch.1918]

There we go

[YzerFan19]

One game to Kronner. Don't be surprised.

Great shot by Zata, even if Homer gets it.

[fitch.1918]

No way they can give a game for that

[fitch.1918]

get another one here

[YzerFan19]

No way they can give a game for that

They're supposedly cracking down, Kronner has a bit of a reputation, and Selanne is a future Hall of Famer. I'm not saying I agree with it, just that I expect it.


So far, not thrilled with the game despite the score. Don't like all the penalties, don't like that they're gonna come back against the Wings later.

And Mickey is bitching up a storm tonight. I kind of want him to shut the hell up.

[YzerFan19]

That looked nasty. Ouch.

And distracted Ken and Mickey from whatever they were going to say about Kronwall.

[YzerFan19]

Anyone else notice they just showed the JLA wireless network information on TV?

[YzerFan19]

Real strong PK followed by a great chance from Pavs and Kronner.

[fitch.1918]

That was pretty sick by Pavs

I missed it swiching channels :-/

[YzerFan19]

Seriously? How many times have the Wings left a guy wide open in the slot this year?

[catmandu]

What is with this f*cking team?

[fitch.1918]

Ticks me off when they give away a goal with under a minute to play in a period

[SYfanSD]

I'm checking in a little late. That was a sick deke by Dats and a nice hit by Kronner... Selanne is a wus and no way should they give him a game for that.
