The Off Wing View » Entries tagged with "Tomas Holmstrom"
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).

Do you understand the NHL’s stance on Goalie Interference?

Slumping Stars Down Wings
This was a game that, from the start, the Wings seemed destined not to win. The bounces didn’t go their way all night, and neither did the calls. It was an ugly game to watch from a Wings’ fan perspective, but not for a lack of effort on the Wings part. I’ll break it down after the jump. … Read entire article »
