A little bit over a month ago, I made a list of the top 15 ice hockey bloopers. While some bloopers might not have made the top 15 list, several more videos were compiled in order to give hockey fans a few more laughs when looking at the lighter side of the sport. Since hockey ...
He’s been referred to as, “No. 1 on the Red Wings’ wish list.” He’s been almost unanimously touted as the cream of 2012’s free agent crop. He’s the defenseman that 30 NHL teams would love to have, and only 1 will get. He’s Ryan Suter, but is he really all he’s cracked up to be? ...
“You add people and you lose people. Some of them are tougher than others.We haven’t been good enough in here lately and I think everyone in here is prepared to make those sacrifices to do what needs to be done.” Those were Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg’s words just days after the team’s first ...
Teemu Pulkkinen, Calle Jarnkrok, Tomas Tatar, Tomas Jurco, Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan; You’ve likely heard those names before. They’re some of the Detroit Red Wings’ most exciting prospects, all potential NHL stars, and all acquired via the draft. They have another thing in common as well, they’re all forwards.

If you’re like me, every day since their playoff usurping you’ve spent at least a little time reflecting on what went wrong for the Detroit Red Wings in 2011-12.

You witnessed a beloved and exceptional talent become the victim of a dangerous, gutless, and shameful act. You were understandably outraged by the incident. Concerned for the well-being of a key player to your ...
The Rangers have fought through the season clinching a playoff spot Monday night defeating their division rivals, the New Jersey Devils, but all is not quiet on the Eastern front. Much work must be done over the Blueshirts final ten games of the season. The Rangers hold a three-point lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins and ...
Whether it is with a thunderous hip check or a shattering body check, certain players know how to put skaters on the ice a la Scott Stevens. As a result, when these players are on the ice, you better keep your head up or you’re going to fall flat on your back. Besides a great goal, there ...
The name Alexei Emelin has been but a whisper in the Bell Centre rafters since the Montreal Canadiens selected the young Russian with the 84th overall selection in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. For seven long years, Habs’ fans have waited patiently for the 6’2, 220lb blue-liner, whose reputation for thunderous open-ice hits has ...
Well look at that! Those too old, too soft, too European Red Wings are at it again with their uncouth goon behavior.
