There was some question before last night’s game 5 about Pavel Datsyuk’s availability. Something about a hurt wrist? Three assists later—including a sick steal and feed on the game winner—and the Red Wings are headed back to Detroit after a monstrous 3rd period come back against the Sharks. This is now what Red Wing’s ...
I had a hard time sleeping last night, and to be honest the large breakfast I made for myself to pass the time before work this morning doesn’t appear too appetizing. In a see-saw battle against the Sharks last night Detroit came up short in overtime (again.) This one will leave a mark. ...
This is it. Both for the Detroit Red Wing players and their fans. This is the most important game of the year. If they drop tonight’s match against the Sharks the rest of the series will just be a formality. Make no mistakes about it. The Red Wings must beat San José tonight. The Sharks ...
By Franklin Steele Detroit may feel like they are stuck in a time warp. For the second straight series they will face the same opponent as they did last year, but this time they hope for a different outcome. After downing the Coyotes in a four game set, they will take on the team that ...
The Chicago Blackhawks gave the Stanley Cup Favorite Canucks everything they could handle, pushing Vancouver—and history—to the breaking point. And they gave us fans some marvelous hockey while they were at it. After going down three games to none, everyone had all but written off the defending champs. It was evident that the Canucks had ...
The Detroit Red Wings have been resting their “old bones” for a few days now since handily and convincingly discarding the Phoenix Coyotes in a four game sweep. Not too shabby for a team that some felt were on the downward slope. Yet again, reports of the demise of the Red Wing have been ...
The whole numerical motif seemed to work out pretty well last time, so I am going to stick to it for now. So here are some of my observations following Detroit’s victory in game 2. 1. If you paid to go to those first two games… I feel sorry for you. You might have been ...
Some thoughts on the first game of the Red Wings series against the Desert Dogs. 1. Pav’s English is still terrible – and he can still take over a game with his skill You’d figure after spending so much time around the articulate Swedes on this team he might pick a thing or two up. ...
Good news, Hockeytown. The Red Wings have a pulse again. After dragging through the last month while securing only a few victories our guys looked strong against a hungry Chicago team today. Anytime you can take down the defending champs who are playing for their playoff lives on national television, I have to consider it ...
That’s the question I asked myself as the Red Wings took the ice following the timeout taken by Mike Babcock during their game against Nashville on Saturday. What would I have said? Your guys gather around, the playoffs are looming, momentum seems to be going in the exact opposite way that it should be at ...
