The Forechecker has a nice project going on where he’s tracking which players draw the most penalties this season. Here are the Red Wings who rank near the top of the list.
1. Pavel Datsyuk - 8 penalties drawn
2. Tomas Holmstrom - 5 penalties drawn
2. Henrik Zetterberg - 5 penalties drawn
2. […]
Successful prospects are all the same; every unsuccessful prospect is unsuccessful in his own way. Igor Grigorenko has certainly suffered through tragedy but he’s likely brought about the endgame of his career as a Red Wings prospect. The winger’s demand to be put on Detroit’s roster was bound to eventually happen. He […]
Joe Pelletier has a good article on the best penalty killers in NHL history. Several Red Wings receive recognition. Here’s what he has to say.
Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby in Detroit in the 1990s. Steve Yzerman also deserves credit for being a big part of the Detroit penalty kill in their heyday.

…Chris Chelios, […]
Here’s a quick look at which players seemed to really chip in and help the Red Wings take 3 out of 4 games. The big story of course is that the third and fourth lines are starting to come together. Here are the goal and assist stats, along with the even-strength numbers while […]
Now that’s how a west coast road trip is supposed to go. The Detroit Red Wings went 3-1 after they were able to defeat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-2 tonight. Kirk Maltby was the offensive force as he scored two goals, while Chris Chelios chipped in with two assists. Henrik Zetterberg would have […]

Thank [Scotty] almighty, Super Mario is free at last. Oh, and Michigan might have found a backup running back in Carlos Brown.
Michigan - Ohio State could once again decide the Big Ten championship. I don’t think there’s any doubt the Bucks will hold up their end of the bargain and […]
The Red Wings are guaranteed at least a split on their west coast swing, which is an improvement over last year’s disastrous road trip that saw the team go 1-3. The only real concern at this point is the poor performance in Anaheim, but given what a penalty-fest that contest was I think it’s […]
I’m not going to do the full game recap because it’s pretty late. This game was less specialty teams oriented than the Anaheim game and was tied 2-2 at the end of the second period. Kyle McLaren took shots at several Red Wings players, knocking Dallas Drake out of the game in the […]
With the Stanley Cup handed out and the pecking order of the division taken care of, it’s now time to hand out the end of season awards.
President’s Trophy: I suggested the Sharks could win the President’s Trophy when I guessed which teams would win each division race. But the Western Conference in general and […]
The Central Division has been one of the weaker divisions over the past couple seasons. That will hopefully start to change beginning this season as all of those high draft picks should start to pay dividends for the Blues and Hawks. Unfortunately I don’t think the BJs have done quite as well restocking […]
