Dallas Stars' Assistant Coaches Attracting Attention

Dallas Stars' Assistant Coaches Attracting Attention

May 31st, 2019 Even though the Dallas Stars’ playoff run ended early, head coach Jim Montgomery deserves every bit of praise he has received since the team’s late-season surge. The first-year NHL coach was the right blend of new and old school given the mix of youth and veterans on the roster. What allowed Montgomery to grow, though, was the...
Nelson Brings Winning Culture to Stars

Nelson Brings Winning Culture to Stars

June 2nd, 2018 Silencing the rumor mill surrounding his future, Grand Rapids Griffins head coach Todd Nelson has accepted an assistant coach position with the Dallas Stars. Murmurs surrounded Nelson following the early closure of the Griffins' playoff run this season. Having had an interview with the Arizona Coyotes during the 2016-17 summer break,...

Red Wings Call-Up of Todd Nelson Overdue

May 10th, 2018 When Detroit Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill gets back into town following the 2018 World Championships, he and Ken Holland should sit down to discuss his next benchmate.

Red Wings & Svechnikov: Patience Is Required

March 16th, 2018 As the 2017-18 season winds down, the Detroit Red Wings have the opportunity to prepare for next year with their season essentially over. Playoffs are still possible—the team certainly knows that—but a return to the postseason is unlikely. Next year’s team will feature 2015 first-round pick, Evgeny Svechnikov, in a top-nine...

Resilient Griffins Win Calder Cup

June 14th, 2017 Down 3-2 early in the third period, Grand Rapids Griffins fans let the home team know exactly what they wanted. “We want the Cup! We want the Cup! We want the Cup!” The Griffins didn’t need a reminder of what was on the line, but a not-so-gentle suggestion from the fans certainly doesn’t hurt. In the end, the Griffins...
Griffins Show Resolve After Humbling Loss

Griffins Show Resolve After Humbling Loss

May 7th, 2017 After allowing seven goals in a 7-3 loss to the Chicago Wolves on Friday, Grand Rapids Griffins coach Todd Nelson said his team was deflated. "That’s a good thing,” Nelson told The Hockey Writers. “I talked to the guys before (Saturday’s) game. ‘We got sloppy last night.’ That’s how we bounce back. We bounced back...
Jared Coreau: NHL Was ‘Everything I Hoped For’

Jared Coreau: NHL Was ‘Everything I Hoped For’

March 25th, 2017 Detroit Red Wings prospect Jared Coreau did what every AHL goalie dreams of doing — played in the NHL. Coreau made his NHL debut Dec. 3 in a 5-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His next game wasn’t until Dec. 23, when he helped the Red Wings secure a 4-3 shootout win against the Florida Panthers for his first NHL win. Overall,...
Jimmy Howard’s Nightmare Start

Jimmy Howard’s Nightmare Start

February 6th, 2017 Things didn’t go Jimmy Howard’s way from the opening faceoff Saturday night. Making a rehab start for the Grand Rapids Griffins, Howard allowed two goals on Milwaukee’s first two shots in a 5-4 loss, his first game since Dec. 20. Flukey Goals The first goal, five minutes into the game, was a flukey wraparound goal that hit...
