Detroit 4, Nashville 2
If you’ve followed the Red Wings for any length of time you’re used to the phenomena where Detroit puts up 40 or 50 shots, hits a few goalposts, and ends up losing the game 4-2. The reason why? The opposing goaltender stood on his head. Well last night - […]
Red Wings 4, Sharks 1
The last time Chris Osgood started a game? That would be December 20th. And with the way Jimmy Howard has been playing, the games Osgood starts could continue to be few and far between. It’s to the point where I could see Osgood appearing in Snickers commercials.
Gonna be […]
Grades for the forwards are right beneath this post. This time around in addition to grades I will compare each player to a Detroit(ish) Landmark/Institution/what have you.
Defensemen
Nick Lidstrom: C
Detroit Landmark: General Motors. At one time it was one of the largest companies in the world and the pride of the Motor City. […]
This is an on and off tradition that I am conveniently picking up now that the Red Wings are exactly at the halfway point of this hockey season. They’re on pace to hit 96 points but have a good shot at cracking the 100 point plateau based on the players they are due to […]
Red Wings 4, Coyotes 1

In road racing there’s usually a lead pack of runners bunched together. A short distance behind them there will typically be a few runners who aren’t up to the brisk pace at the start of the race. The early goal for those stragglers is to maintain contact with […]
Red Wings 4, Avalanche 2

Leino shows off a bar mitzvah gift
What do Ville Leino and Calliope Stephanides have in common? Not much as it appears that Leino’s landing gear may have finally descended. The fidgety Finn took […]
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:
>12 of the last […]
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 […]
