I’ve mentioned the one shortcoming the Red Wings had during their Stanley Cup run more than a couple times. I am convinced if Detroit had Mathieu Schneider and Niklas Kronwall in the lineup they would have prevailed against the Ducks and would have had a great shot at knocking off Ottawa to win the […]
I don’t comment much on the Michigan Basketball or Hockey teams because I don’t get to catch their games very often. But with the basketball team doing this weird thing where they actually win Big Ten games late in the season I felt it was necessary to express my support for this newly-formed habit […]
Imagine if your employer asked you the questions Nicholas Cotsonika asked Chance Millen in this interview and imagine you gave the answers that Millen offers up to explain his complete and utter failure managing the employer’s business. Putting aside the legitimate questions about the financial results for the business [#24!], the important questions are […]
Bill over at A2Y linked to this Damien Cox article that compares the Red Wings to the New England Patriots.
Cox’s conclusion is that the Red Wings - who prior to their recent tailspin were on pace to challenge the NHL record for most wins in a season - were ascending through the same thin, rarefied […]
A little over a week or so ago the common refrain was about how the hockey season slows to a crawl during the month of February leading up to the trade deadline. As far as the Wings are concerned they looked like they were sitting pretty for the Central Division title and another President’s […]
Where have we seen this before?
Colorado made their gamest attempt to renew their rivalry with Detroit. Of course it completely failed as the Wings easily dispatched the Avs 4-0. But team captain Nick Lidstrom was knocked out of the game so it remains to be seen how seriously he was injured.
The good news […]
The word from Ansar Khan is that the Red Wings will start Jimmy Howard in net this afternoon. With the team sputtering during a 5-game losing streak it definitely makes sense to juggle the lineup, add some new faces from Grand Rapids, and see if anything clicks.
If Howard plays as well as he has […]
The Red Wings could believe some lame-ass crap like the franchise is cursed. Yes, this is what Tom Kowalski is “reporting” this morning regarding the Detroit Lions:
Nobody remembers hearing anything about the Curse of Bobby Layne, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
Oh my, to be a serious Lions fan. Yeah the franchise […]
This might be what Mike Babcock is thinking with news that Brian Rafalski will be out of the lineup with a minor injury:
With a little under two weeks until the trade deadline, it probably makes sense to bring up some of the young d-men in Grand Rapids and see how they look playing in the […]
There’s one thing I find particularly irritating about Chance Millen’s stewardship of the Detroit Lions: his inability to learn from past mistakes when something doesn’t work. I mean the guy had literally zero experience prior to being handed the keys to the most dysfunctional professional sports franchise in the country. So you’d think […]
