Tigers and Pirates talking Trade?

Is Damaso Marte heading to Detroit?

That’s what Jon Paul Morosi suggests over at the Free Press. It would make sense as the Tigers acquired Sean Casey from Pittsburgh last season. Morosi suggests that the Bucs could help Detroit fill their need for a backup utility infielder and a relief pitcher.

The clubs have spoken […]

Some Thoughts on the Tigers

The ball hasn’t bounced Detroit’s way lately

The team obviously needs to shore up their bullpen. Whether they do so via trade or if either Fernando Rodney and/or Joel Zumaya can return and be effective it needs to be addressed. The team is going through a bit of a losing […]

Talk of 12th Big Ten team misses out on Opportunity to expand league play

The latest talk surrounding the Big Ten Conference has been about adding a 12th team to the conference. This comes up every few years and makes sense given the fact the conference contains eleven teams yet calls itself the Big Ten. Brian over at MGoBlog takes a look at some schools he thinks […]

Igor Grigorenko to Get his Shot

Grigorenko will get his first crack at making Detroit’s roster

The Detroit Red Wings drafted Russian prospect Igor Grigorenko with the 62nd pick in the 2001 NHL entry draft. Shortly after being drafted the 5′10″ winger shot up the prospect rankings, at one point being ranked as the 9th best NHL prospect by the Hockey […]

Three candidates for the Top Six

Dan Cleary, Val Filppula and Jiri Hudler could make up the second line next season

Over at Red Wings Central a debate has broken out over whether Jiri Hudler and Valtteri Filppula can follow Henrik Zetterberg’s and Pavel Datsyuk’s development arc. Bill over at Abel to Yzerman suggested that Valtteri Filppula could pot 25 goals […]

Taking a look at the Red Wings’ top line

A top line of Homer, Z and Datsyuk could top the century mark in goals scored

The other day I linked to an NHL Fanhouse article from Jon “J.P.” Press that listed the Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Holmstrom line as one of the top 5 lines in the NHL. I mentioned in my comments on that […]

Griffins have their man, Tab Stothers as head coach

The Grand Rapids Press reports that Mike Stothers will be named the new head coach for the AHL affiliate. He’s been heavily involved in Philadelphia’s organization as a player and coach and has spent the past five years coaching the Owens Sound Attack in the OHL. His experience likely gave him the edge:

That […]

The Detroit Red Wings announced the signing of several players yesterday.

Left wing Matt Ellis returns to Detroit after spending the last five seasons in the Red Wings’ organization at Toledo (ECHL) and Grand Rapids (AHL). Ellis, who signed a two-year deal, made his […]

Homer, Fire on Ice and…well…fire

Hey, I can post a pic of a hot chick
because it’s Red Wings related. Nice.

Ansar Khan from MLIVE has his latest scouting report. Today’s is on Tomas Holmstrom.

Since Holmstrom entered the NHL in 1996, nobody has absorbed more punishment around the crease. His willingness to pay the price has provided the Wings a […]

Sick Brandon Inge Catch

Following Curtis Granderson’s ridiculous catch just before the All Star break, third baseman Brandon Inge got into the act.

This is just a spectacular out during Saturday’s 6-4 loss. Detroit has just finished playing three of the top four teams in the American League and went 7-3.
