Red Wings Top Prospect: Joe Veleno

Red Wings Top Prospect: Joe Veleno

December 31st, 2018 (Originally published Sep. 20, 2018) Joe Veleno entered the 2018 NHL Draft as a consensus top-15 pick, and since falling to the Detroit Red Wings at No. 30, has been the team's top prospect. “It just motivates me knowing they didn’t want me,” Veleno said of other teams following the draft. That motivation...
The Grind Line: Red Wings Release Zadina to World Juniors

The Grind Line: Red Wings Release Zadina to World Juniors

December 10th, 2018 What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. Rachel Anderson, Jacob Messing, and Tony Wolak are the muckers who makeup THW’s forechecking unit and sound off on Red...
Are Cholowski’s Sheltered Minutes Warranted?

Are Cholowski’s Sheltered Minutes Warranted?

December 6th, 2018 After kicking off his rookie campaign with big minutes and impressive play, Dennis Cholowski’s ice time has steadily declined in recent weeks and that may be for the best. Cholowski was one of several defensemen in the mix for the Detroit Red Wings’ open defensive spot heading into October before a slew of injuries...
Red Wings Face Make-or-Break December

Red Wings Face Make-or-Break December

November 30th, 2018 There’s no “home for the holidays” for the Detroit Red Wings, who head into December with a league-leading 16 games left for the calendar year in a make-or-break month. For a team with playoff aspirations, they’ll get a good look at postseason talent as nine of the 16 December games are against playoff teams from...
Michael Rasmussen’s Confidence Matching His Size

Michael Rasmussen’s Confidence Matching His Size

November 22nd, 2018 The start of Michael Rasmussen’s NHL career was anything but a smooth transition, as the rookie seemed like a spectator with ice level tickets early on. Playing among the game’s greatest is far from easy, especially for a 19-year-old coming straight from juniors. Learning on the fly against faster, stronger, and more...

The Grind Line: Red Wings Power-Play Observations

November 19th, 2018 What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings. Jacob Messing, Tony Wolak, and Rachel Anderson are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking unit and sound off on Red...
Red Wings’ Nyquist Raising Trade Value

Red Wings’ Nyquist Raising Trade Value

November 16th, 2018 Gustav Nyquist entered the 2018-19 season knowing it could be his last with the Detroit Red Wings and his hot start coincidentally points to him finishing the campaign donning a different sweater. The 29-year-old appeared to be the future of the Red Wings back in 2013-14 when a wave of injuries thrust him into the NHL....
Dan Bylsma Sparking Red Wings Offense

Dan Bylsma Sparking Red Wings Offense

November 15th, 2018 Detroit Red Wings assistant coach Dan Bylsma has brought early returns as the new offensive coach, supporting the growth of young players and helping lead the team into the future. The hiring came after Bylsma was an assistant to Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill with Team USA at the 2018 World Championships. Under the...
