Blakely has a pretty good take on the crossroads facing the Pistons this season. From the 2001-02 to the 2004-05 season, Detroit progressed each season towards playing in the NBA Finals, culminating in an NBA championship in 2003-04 and a 7 game Finals loss to the San Antonio Spurs the following season. The […]
In watching Game 4 of the World Series I remembered exactly where I was during Game 4 of the 1994-95 Stanley Cup Finals. I was sitting in a hotel room with my brothers in Pentwater, Michigan watching the game. In that game the New Jersey Devils were putting the finishing touches on their […]
Jim Carty from the Ann Arbor News has a good article this morning on the poor performance from Michigan’s offense yesterday. He starts off the article by allowing two prominent members of Michigan’s offensive unit to describe the offense’s performance (of lack thereof) against the Wildcats:

Those were the words chosen […]
Is it simply coincidence? Detroit was a 3-4-1 and mired near the bottom of the division before Jiri Hudler and Valtteri Filppula started getting decent ice time. During that same time frame Detroit has beaten San Jose, Dallas and St. Louis. San Jose and Dallas had two of the better records in […]
The story of the first half was Michigan’s awesome punting display. Northwestern certainly aided the cause by not trying to actually field punts. As a result Zoltan Mesko put three punts inside the 20 yard line, with two of them actually being downed inside the 10. In the second half he also […]
USA Today hockey writer Kevin Allen has a nice article on the ramifications of the hard salary cap that was instituted prior to the start of last year. There are lots of angles to this story but Allen highlights the biggest:
The best evidence that talent is now being spread more democratically is the absence […]
Game Four could be the game that all but won St. Louis the World Series. They have a stranglehold 3-1 lead in the series and will have a chance to win the championship tomorrow. Detroit had an excellent chance to win this game and knot the series up at two games apiece, but […]
Much has been made about how the University of Michigan made it through the toughest part of their schedule prior to the season finale against Ohio State on November 18. Looking at the team’s history against Northwestern University there is every reason to expect Michigan to win this game soundly so long as they […]
Bruce Hooley has an article over at ESPN on the tough seasons both Glen Mason at the University of Minneosta and Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern have gone through this year. Northwestern appeared to be on the verge of winning their first Big Ten game last Saturday. But the second half went much differently […]
Matthew Wuest of Red Wings Central has a nice update on some of the prospects in the Red Wings’ minor league system. The article leads off with a nice blurb on Jan Mursak, who is playing for the Saginaw Spirit:
The 18-year-old native of Maribor, Slovenia, is having an outstanding rookie season with the Saginaw […]
