Hasek will back-up Osgood.

George Johnson, Calgary Herald (and ESPN contributor), has written a piece paying homage to both Dante and the Halloween season; regarding the (F)lame/Wings game tonite at the Joe.  Here’s a snippet:
“It has become a place of unspeakable pain. Of professional degradation and personal ridicule.

“Weird how it works,’’ mused Craig Conroy. “But back a few years, when we were really struggling and finding it hard to win games anywhere, we still always seemed to play well in there.

“And now . . . “

Now, it’s the Amityville Horror house. The Clutter farmhouse in Holcomb, Kan. The equivalent of the back wall of the SMC Cartage Company on Chicago’s north side, Feb. 14, 1929.

Their very own dark, dank, forbidding chamber of horrors.”

EGAD, are the (F)lame sounding the death knell or what?  For those among us who appreciate the sadistic references, heres the link to the rest of the article:  http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/sports/heraldhockey/story.html?id=97a39a5b-0d0a-474c-9f44-a4697e6d56c2&k=12512

BTW:  Macleod at Red Wing Corner also reports on Uncle Mikes position on pairing Dats/Zet again on the same line with Homer for tonites game:

“Coach Mike Babcock said after Tuesday’s practice that he would wait until game-time, Wednesday, to decide whether to put Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg on the same line. The pair practiced together Tuesday as the team worked with the same lines used in Monday’s win over Edmonton.
“Whatever leads you to winning is the best way,” said Babcock. “So if you’re on a roll and they’re playing together, then that’s great. If it’s not and they’re shutting you down because you’ve got one unit, that’s not as good. We’d like them not to play together, but I like winning.”

More Yoda syntax from Babblecock—(credit Baroque).  He definitely has a unique way of articulating things (head scratch).

Any takers on the over/under for attendance tonite?  Hows 15,500??  Or hows this one, Drake/Draper/Cleary are the starting forwards. Referencing Johnson’s article look for tonite to be heavy hitting.
