If you were trying to point to one thing that has cushioned the blow of losing 8 real, bonafide NHL players (as if that’s really possible), the only thing you could really come up with would be that the schedule since November 1st hasn’t exactly been murderer’s row. Check it out:

The Red Wings gain another bonafide NHL player for tonight’s game so I decided to come up with another song parody. This one is based on the song Build Me Up (Buttercup).
Oh now that Fil is up (Fil is up) the lineup’s less scary
Send some Griffins down (send ‘em down) stop messing around
We’ve been […]
Kris Draper has had a long and very successful career in Detroit. He’s filled his role quite well over the years and despite the inevitable drop off that occurs due to age he’s seemed to defy that a bit this season while playing alongside Darren Helm. With that being said seeing him on […]
No, forward Kris Newbury wasn’t actually fired. He was reassigned back down to Grand Rapids and will be replaced by Mattias Ritola. Given that the Red Wings recalled Doug Janik rather than Jakub Kindl my sense is they want very sound defensive players playing for the big club right now. Detroit has little […]
Darren Helm returned to the lineup and looked like his usual self. He led all Detroit forwards in ice time and generated a breakaway scoring chance, hit everything that moved, and generally won puck battle after puck battle. If there’s one player who best represents the current state of the Red Wings it’s […]
So it looks like Darren Helm will suit up this afternoon. In honor of actually gaining rather than losing players here’s a lame parody based on the song from that famous 70’s sitcom Welcome Back Kotter.
Welcome back, your wrist is what’s kept you out.
Welcome back no it ain’t the Griffins despite the doubt.
Well the […]
I had plans last night so I didn’t catch any of the game after the first period. Other than the win the big news is another Red Wing bites the dust. Hank just got destroyed on a perfectly clean hit by Matthias Ohlund. Apparently it’s his shoulder that kept him out of […]
Programs, find out who the hell is playing left wing
on the second line, get yer programs.
I don’t want to say the Red Wings are running out of guys who started the season on their active roster. But I wouldn’t be surprised if copies of the programs come with a complimentary bottle of whiteout so […]
All things considered 9th place ain’t looking so bad
I haven’t caught enough Red Wings games to have a really good feel for the team. But here are my top three most impressive players at this point in the season. The three stars as it were.
3. Henrik Zetterberg. Z leads the team in […]
