Miller Time Takes 2!
Drew Miller became the third Wing to reup in less than 24 hours, joining Jonathan Ericsson and Patrick Eaves with new deals. Miller’s career arc has followed a similar path as Eaves. Both went the college hockey route, with Eaves playing for Boston College and Miller for Michigan State. Neither could latch on with their first couple teams, but were offered a shot at redemption with the Wings in 2009. While Eaves was signed after being waived and bought out by Boston, Miller was a waiver claim from the Tampa Bay Lightning. He responded with the two best years of his career while wearing the Winged Wheel. His deal is for 2 years, with a cap hit of $825k. … Read entire article »

Big Red Machine Gathering Steam
The Wings stormed out to a two goal lead and never looked back, winning their second straight and dispatching the visiting Minnesota Wild. Though it lacked the same passion and intensity of yesterday’s game against a Nashville squad that is quickly climbing the ranks among the Red Wings top rivals, it was a similar gritty effort that got the job done for the Wings. The win clinched the Central division for the Wings, as the Chicago Blackhawks can now only tie them in points, but would lose out on the tie-breaker. … Read entire article »
