Who schedules a hockey game for 5pm?

The Pens wrap up the preseason in Joe Louis Arena.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the Penguins celebrating the Stanley Cup at center ice.
Unless it's being drowned out by the Red Wings' tears that is.

Arron Asham and Brooks Orpik won't be in the line-up.
According to Dan Bylsma, Asham is "still reacting to getting smooshed" in Chicago.
Crosby won't be in the line-up either.  Probably because he doesn't respect Nick Lidstrom.


The Pens lines:
Eric Tangradi - Mike Comrie - Evgeni Malkin
Pascal Dupuis - Mark Letestu - Chris Kunitz
Mike Rupp - Craig Adams- Eric Godard
Matt Cooke - Max Talbot -Tyler Kennedy/DustinJeffrey

Paul Martin - Kris Letang
Alex Goligoski - Zbynek Michalek
Deryk Engelland - Ben Lovejoy
Not sure about who will be on the fourth line or in net.

The Wings lines:
Pavel Datsyuk - Henrik Zetterberg - Tomas Holmstrom
Johan Franzen - Valtteri Filppula - Mattias Ritola
Jiri Hudler - Mike Modano - Dan Cleary
Drew Miller - Darren Helm - Jan Mursak

Nickls Lidstrom - Niklas Kronwall
Brad Stuart - Brian Rafalski
Jonathan Ericsson - Ruslan Salei

Chris Osgood
Jimmy Howard
We're hearing that Osgood is definitely taking this game seriously.
He's been practicing being wildly out of position all morning.
 
No TV coverage again in Pittsburgh.  The game is on FSN Detroit and on the X.
