Here’s a quick look at the first game through the questions I asked about the team last night. The Red Wings obviously won 3-1.
5. How will Brad Stuart perform for the Wings?
Stuart had a strong game as the second defensive pairing looked great. He even got some time on the second power play […]

The junior netminder really struggled during the 2006-07 campaign, allowing 3.03 goals per game and stopping only 89.6% of the shots he faced.

I went to both games over the weekend and the Wolverines pulled out the sweep.

Lots of stuff going on so I decided to write one post to give my take on each topic.
