The Grind Line: Returning Red Wings Can Go From Injury to Impact
January 11th, 2016 The Detroit Red Wings are no stranger to the injury bug. While the team has been relatively healthy compared to recent seasons, Pavel Datsyuk, Mike Green, Brad Richards and Darren Helm have all missed time this year. Luckily, the team is currently icing a roster with all of its key players at full health. A few role players on the team...
Drew Miller, Teemu Pulkkinen Out 6 Weeks
December 4th, 2015 The Detroit Red Wings got some tough news on Friday. The team will have to do without Drew Miller and Teemu Pulkkinen for at least a month and a half.

Plus-Minus Revisited, the Correction: Part 1 of 2
May 28th, 2015 For part 2 in this series, see Plus-Minus Revisited, the Results: Part 2 of 2. Plus-minus (PM), or the number of goals your team scored while you were on the ice minus the number of goals the other team scored while you were on the ice, is an interesting stat. It is regularly cited with player profiles, yet receives much derision from...
Hockey News: Ovechkin Scores 50; Will the Kings Make the Playoffs?
April 1st, 2015 With the playoff races in both conferences closer than ever, the final stretch looks to be pretty exciting. In the West, I would love to see some fresh blood in the postseason, mainly in the Jets and Flames. Winnipeg deserves some playoff hockey and Calgary has been such a great story all year I'm hoping to see them both make it. But,...
Why Detroit's Fourth Line May Be Their Undoing
January 29th, 2015 Yesterday, my fellow Detroit Red Wings contributor Tom Mitsos discussed how Detroit's fourth line has been the an integral part of the Red Wings' success thus far. However, I've carried an opposite opinion for most of the season and decided that it would be an opportune time to illustrate why I believe that Detroit's fourth line may...
Red Wings’ MVP: The Fourth Liners
January 28th, 2015 The role of the fourth liner in hockey generally is understood. These are energy guys who are not expected to contribute a lot on the scoreboard but are expected to shut down the opposing team’s best line with physical play, sometimes using agitators to get under the skin of superstars like Sidney Crosby or Jonathan...
Red Wings: Ryan Bests Drew in Battle of Millers
January 4th, 2015 The Detroit Red Wings started their road trip from hell Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. All things considered, the Red Wings played a fairly good road game, but Canucks goalie Ryan Miller stood on his head, as he made 29 saves and secured the 4-1 win for Vancouver. The Red Wings will learn a lot about their team in the next...
Red Wings Begin Road Trip From Hell
January 2nd, 2015 The Detroit Red Wings picked up a key win to end 2014, but 2015 does not start off easy.

When the Red Wings were in the Western Conference, they would have to make...
Hockey News: Miller Against Miller
December 1st, 2014 This isn't the first time brothers have faced each other in professional sports, but Sunday (since there was only one game on) Ryan Miller faced his brother Drew Miller, as the Vancouver Canucks faced the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit Wins Fourth in a Row The Detroit Red Wings won their fourth game in a row, and have pulled within one...
The Detroit Red Wings: Experience & Composure vs. Old & Weak
January 25th, 2012 "They're too old." "They're soft." Talk to a Chicago Blackhawks fan about the Detroit Red Wings and those are likely 2 of the first things they'll say, but are they really valid criticisms? The current league leading position of the Detroit franchise would seem to suggest otherwise. While there is no question that the Red Wings...
Fabian Brunnstrom: Waiting In The Wings
October 18th, 2011 There's one player on the roster of the Detroit Red Wings that has yet to see any ice time. That player, as it should be quite clear to you now, is Fabian Brunnstrom. Through the first four games this season the Red Wings are undefeated, and that being the case, it's hard to fault coach Mike Babcock for not inserting Brunnstrom into...
Red Wings Rewind: Week 2 Edition
October 16th, 2011 Detroit came into the week undefeated, and they exited it in the same manner, locking up another 2 wins on their way to their first 4-0 start since 1996-97 (a year which saw them go on to win it all).
