Yzerman's Options: The Red Wings' Free Agency Outlook
April 24th, 2019 Another season has come and gone, and the Detroit Red Wings find themselves on the outside of the playoff dance yet again. After more than two decades of dominance, the team has fallen on hard times, resulting in three straight seasons without playoff hockey in the Motor City. Luckily, the team has been busy during their lengthened...
The Grind Line: Red Wings Most Valuable Trade Chip
January 14th, 2019 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 Wings...
The Grind Line: Red Wings' 2018-19 Breakout Candidates
August 6th, 2018 With training camp next month and only Dylan Larkin to re-sign, the Detroit Red Wings are gearing up for the 2018-19 NHL season. After missing the playoffs the past two years, the franchise is hoping to return to their winning ways on the backs of their young talent. Each year, a Red Wings player or two takes us by surprise with a...

Red Wings Youth Carrying the Torch
November 17th, 2017 If you or someone you know is a die-hard fan of the Detroit Red Wings, there's one phrase that you've probably heard more than once over the last few NHL seasons - "Play the kids!" Now, nearly a quarter of the way through the 2017-18 schedule the Wings are indeed letting their talented youngsters off of their leashes and getting both...
Svechnikov's Setback Will Help Red Wings in Long Run
October 30th, 2017 It was all falling into place for Evgeny Svechnikov at this year's training camp. Andreas Athanasiou was still without a contract, and the 20-year-old Svechnikov was a prime candidate to replace him in the competition for a roster spot with the Detroit Red Wings. He was going up against Martin Frk, Tyler Bertuzzi, and other top...
Frk Thriving in Athanasiou's Absence
October 10th, 2017 The Detroit Red Wings drafted both Martin Frk (49th overall) and Andreas Athanasiou (110th overall) in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. However, Frk, who was claimed by the Carolina Hurricanes via waivers last October only to be reacquired by Detroit less than a month later, is off to an impressive early start with the club in 2017-18....
Early Red Wings Takeaways: Howard & Special Teams
October 9th, 2017 Early reviews are in on the 2017-18 Detroit Red Wings: They’re hungry and out to prove last season was a fluke. Detroit opened up Little Caesars Arena with a gutsy 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild after blowing a 2-0 lead. Henrik Zetterberg capitalized on a loose puck to put the Red Wings up for good in the third period and...
Red Wings Youth and Goaltending Soar in Season Opener
October 6th, 2017 The Detroit Red Wings will need their younger stars to step up in 2017-18 if the team has any aspirations to once again reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and apparently, some of those players got the memo on opening night. Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha, and Martin Frk each found the back of the net in Detroit's 4-2 win over the Minnesota...
How Early Injuries Have Benefited the Red Wings
October 5th, 2017 Much has already been made of the doom and gloom surrounding the Detroit Red Wings as they begin what’s likely to be a trying season. My goal this year is to always find a positive side of adversity that the Red Wings will probably face – and keeping it real. You can already find such articles about how Detroit can make the playoffs...
How Can Frk Stick with the Red Wings?
September 28th, 2017 Martin Frk experienced quite the ride last season, one that would've made for quality television. The soon-to-be-24-year-old was making his case for a spot on the 2016-17 Detroit Red Wings, itching for his NHL debut after being drafted in the second round four years ago. His journey to the final cuts in 2016 included two stints in the...
Waivers Could Again be Problematic for Red Wings
September 21st, 2017 As it presently stands, the Detroit Red Wings have 31 players on their preseason roster who would require waivers if they were to be sent down. That number doesn't include possible fourth-liner Tyler Bertuzzi, who does not need waivers to be sent to Grand Rapids, still unsigned Andreas Athanasiou, or P.A. Parenteau. In order to reach...
Red Wings Best Options If Athanasiou Leaves
September 5th, 2017 If I had predicted at the beginning of the summer that Andreas Athanasiou would still be unsigned on September 4, you'd probably have laughed. After all, at the time it seemed like a slam dunk for general manager Ken Holland to retain such an electrifying asset. He outscored almost all of the 10 forwards that averaged more ice time last...
