Philadelphia Flyers at Detroit Red Wings, Sep 16, 2009 6:30 PM CDT

The Red Wings preseason kicks off today as they host the Philadelphia Flyers tonight at Joe Louis Arena. Coach Mike Babcock told reporters yesterday that he will play all the veterans for a total of four games (spread around) and then fill in the rest with the prospects.

Courtesy of Ansar Khan at MLive.com, we have the lineup for today's game:

Forwards:
Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Tomas Holmstrom
Kris Draper-Justin Abdelkader-Patrick Eaves
Mattias Ritola-Kris Newbury-Jan Mursak
Johan Ryno-Cory Emmerton-Jeremy Williams

Defense
Nicklas Lidstrom-Jakub Kindl
Derek Meech-Brian Rafalski
Jonathan Ericsson-Andy Delmore
Goalies
Jimmy Howard
Daniel Larsson

Unfortunately, tonight's game is not televised so you will either have to listen to the call of the game online at 97.1 The Ticket or keep refreshing NHL.com's scores page. While it'll be nice to have it televised at a later game, it's just exciting to know that hockey season is about to begin once again. Go Wings!

Okay....

So I’m not sure how I’m gonna do this because there’s no TV feed or a radio feed that i can find. But I’ll try and do the scoring.

Just got back from the Game

Just got back from the game.

Datsyuk looked great. Abdelkader was all over the place. Lidstrom was solid as per usual. Ericsson played a nice game. Jeremy Williams played well. So did Daniel Larsson. I thought Newbury was physical but not a strong skater.

After the game, I was walking behind Pronger. He is MASSIVE.
