Some Preseason Thoughts
I was in attendance last night for the Wings preseason home opener, which aside from the highlights NHL.com makes available, seems to be the only way to catch a preseason game right now. In lieu of a full on game recap, I thought I would offer some pluses and minuses from the game. I asked before the game if there was anyone in particular that the fans wanted to know a little more about, so let’s start … Read entire article »

What are you looking forward to from the ’11-12 Red Wings? And a bit of self-promotion…
Let me start by saying that I hate the summer. Completely, utterly, entirely loathe the stretch of months from the time hockey season ends until, mercifully, the puck drops on the pre-season some time in September. The last few years have been especially difficult with the “early” exits the Wings have made (oh my god we are spoiled as Wings fans). Seeing as it’s been something like 10 days since I’ve updated this thing, and people … Read entire article »

Player Profile: Vladislav Namestnikov
In preparation for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, I have been profiling players who may be available when the Red Wings make their first selection at 24th overall. I’ve hit most of the nationalities that make up the Red Wings roster so far, including a Canadian, a Swede, and a Finn. The other day, I profiled Tomas Jurco, and while there are no current Red Wings from Slovakia, his hometown is just a four hour drive from that of prospect Tomas Tatar. While there is currently only one Russian on the Red Wings, and none necessarily coming up the pipeline, the past and present of the Wings franchise has been shaped by enormous contributions from players who hail from the former Soviet Union. From Pavel Datsyuk now, to the famous Russian … Read entire article »

Red Wings Playoff Stars
You know the deal by now. I pick three stars every game the Wings play, and at the end of the season we added them up and found out that Henrik Zetterberg (3), Pavel Datsyuk (2) and Jimmy Howard (1) were the stars from October to April. But once the calendar flipped to playoff season, who would rise to the top? Would it be the same cast of players getting the job done, or would someone else challenge them for supremacy? Read on to find out! … Read entire article »

Incredible Third Period Forces Game 6
That third period of hockey was one for the memory bank. With their season on the line, the Red Wings threw everything they had at the Sharks and came from behind in improbable fashion to send the series back to Motown for Game 6. … Read entire article »

Wings Still Searching for Answers
The Wings will head back to Detroit with some serious questions, and no definitive answers…yet. Mike Babcock thought that he had the answers for a team that looked over-matched in Game 1, but it produced little in the way of results in Game 2. After the jump, I’ll take a look at what coach Babcock wanted to see out of his group today, and whether or not he got it, as well as a look ahead to some possible changes for Game 3 and beyond. … Read entire article »

Howard’s Stellar Performance Wasted, Sharks Take Game 1
The Wings led tonight’s contest for about 40 minutes, but it wasn’t enough in the end as the Sharks tied it up midway through the third, and won the game in extra time on a goal from probably the least likely guy on either team. Let’s get to the recap after the break. … Read entire article »

Round 1 Wrap-Up…or Should That be Sweep up?
The Red Wings became the first team to punch their ticket to the second round last night when their 6-3 win over the Coyotes completed a round one sweep. The series played out almost perfectly for the Wings, with very little to complain about if you’re a fan of the team. After the break, we’ll take a look at how the Red Wings dispatched the Coyotes and look ahead to who they might be facing in Round 2. … Read entire article »
