In a season that has been marred by injuries to key members of the team—as of March 3rd, the Red Wings led the NHL in man games lost due to injury by a large margin—the team has done a remarkable job of staying afloat in the tough Western Conference, where every game, every point means something in a shortened season.
The Detroit Red Wings have undergone their fair share of turbulence this season. Not only did they lose out on Ryan Suter and Zach Parise in free agency last year, but they also had to deal with the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom and the subsequent defensive issues that came with it.

After a nearly four month layoff, the NHL opened its abbreviated 2012-13 (is it still ’12-13 or just ’13?) season with some spirited action over the Martin Luther King Day weekend. With some of you still distracted by the NFL playoffs and family events over the course of the weekend, here’s a quick look at ...

Despite losing eventual hall of famer Nicklas Lidstrom and being soundly beaten in first round of the playoffs, Detroit Red Wings are not in a rebuilding mode. They’re also no longer the class of the western conference, overthrown by younger (and better) teams like Nashville and the Los Angeles Kings. General Manager Ken Holland has ...
“You add people and you lose people.
