The offense should have a chance to flex its muscle by scoring 17-21 points against severly overmatched opponents like Northwestern and Eastern Michigan - unless of course the defense gives them prime field position all game like they did in the Notre Dame game.
The Michigan offense underperformed my very sober analysis of their capabilities in […]
If you follow the Red Wings its been awhile since there have been any cloak and dagger defections - and usually they occur when players like Sergei Federov are covertly added to the roster. But the latest intrigue took place in Toronto, where the Wings saw one of their key possibly 6th or 7th […]
With the Michigan Football team showing some semblance of life the past two weekends we’re at a point in the season where as fans the team has nothing to gain for at least the next two weeks. Sure, a team that lost to Appy State and got smoked by Oregon certainly can’t sleep on […]
George Malik, who writes and compiles the MLIVE Snapshots blog posted his Red Wings preview over at Kukla’s Korner.
He provides a very comprehensive post on the expectations many in the media had for Detroit prior to last season and the makeup of this year’s team. I think he has an interesting take on the […]
With the Red Wings bloggers weighing in with their season previews now is a good time to take a look at what they have to say. Bill over at Abel to Yzerman feels confident the Central Division has been locked up already:
The Central? It’s done. It’s 24 September and the division’s been […]
Last year I did something similar to this over at the Hockey’s Future forums. This time I decided to come up with guesses on the goal and assist total for each forward and defenseman who is likely to play significant minutes in Detroit. John inquired in the comment section about whether I thought […]
Last year the Detroit Red Wings made it past the second round of the playoffs for the first time since the 2001-2002 season. The big storylines last season were threefold: would Detroit be able to replace the leadership lost when Steve Yzerman retired and Brendan Shanahan signed with the New York Rangers; would Mike […]

If Lloyd Carr was a mad scientist like Dr. Frankenstein he’d be hard pressed to come up with a better prototype for Mike DeBord’s somnambulant offense than Mike Hart. The feisty running back keyed Michigan’s 14-9 win yesterday with 153 yards on 44 carries […]
Drew at End of the Bench has his preview up and he starts with his thoughts on Scott Howson, who is Columbus’ new general manager.
I’m excited for the change at the top, if only to see how things will be different. A lot of candidate names were bandied about, and every time a name […]
Bill over at Abel to Yzerman has tried to make the case for a rivalry developing between the Red Wings and the Columbus Blue Jackets. It definitely makes some sense as the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is arguably the best in sports. The Tigers have finally become competitive so they should battle Cleveland - […]
