Detroit Red Wings at Colorado Avalanche, Oct 24, 2009 8:00 PM CDT

These two teams met a week ago in Detroit and will meet again tonight to put two of the four games for the season in the books. In that first meeting, Colorado took the game 4-3 in a shoot out following a late rally from the group from Denver. Tonight's game will hopefully be different as the Red Wings will look to possibly take advantage of a team that may be tired following its 5-4 win over Carolina last night.

Patrick Eaves will start tonight as Justin Abdelkader will take a seat. Helm will center that line and will likely have Maltby at the other wing position.

What to look for: Valtteri Filppula's line to continue the success it has had thus far this season as well as Tomas Holmstrom's unexpected boom. The key to the game tonight will be how Jimmy Howard plays in his first start in the blue paint since the Sweden trip.

The puck will drop at about 9 p.m. ET and the game will air on FS-D. As always, GO WINGS!

Does anyone know why NHL Center Ice isn’t showing the FSD feed? All they have is the Avs feed and that’s really not ideal.

Yeah, that’s what I figured. But do we really need the “NHL Mosaic Channel” and the “NHL Stats Channel” taking up two out of the fourteen channels?

by breakaway on Oct 24, 2009 8:15 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

nope.

It may have something to do with contract issues too. who knows.

If you just can’t stand it, the link I posted above is working really really well. And it’s our FSD boys.

Thanks. I’ll probably just stick with this one because internet feeds tend to hate me and freeze up everyone ten seconds. I really have terrible internet out here in the boonies.

by Brobz on Oct 24, 2009 8:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Howard's Mask

Neat thing about his mask:
His dream car (and mine) of a 1967 Shelby Mustang depicted.
Then, the tachometer has the retired numbers of the Wings as the numbers on the tach.
