Mike Modano, Make Your Mind Up Mate!
Sorry for the lack of blogs. I’ve been recovering from surgery to my jaw. I figured that my medical work was nothing compared to what Kris Draper had to endure after ‘that’ Claude Lemieux hit, and since he went on playing hockey, I should suck it up and be like Kris (and I don’t mean [...]
Free Agency - Detroit Red Wings
OK, so Detroit have done precisely naff all in the free agency.
Holland said before the Free Agency opened, that he wanted an enforcer in the organisation. Suddenly, Derek Boogaard is available from Minnesota, and what do the Wings do? Hesitate.
Now, I realise that Boogaard has not registered a point in a game for years, and [...]
Nik Puts The Lid On A New Deal
Nik Lidstrom has finally put his signature on a 1-year deal to play next year with the Detroit Red Wings. Relief? You bet!
This is not just the end of contract negotiations with Lidstrom, but it also means that Holmstrom, Bertuzzi, Eaves, Miller, Helm and Abdelkader can start their negotiations. All were being held up depending [...]
Detroit Red Wings: Don’t Stop Believing…
So we’re out. But you know what? I’m neither surprised, nor upset. I think, with the season we had of running hot and cold, then to make it to round 2 is pretty good going. At some points it looked like we weren’t going to make the post-season at all!
The season started badly. Back to [...]
Red Wings Hit The Wall
Did that 7 game series first round knock the stuffing out of us? Did the short turnaround between game 7 and game 1 of the new series leave us fatigued? Did the effort of hauling through against the Coyotes leave us too drained to motivate against the Sharks? Did you leave the oven on?
I [...]
Detroit Red Wings: I Am…
I am heavily sleep deprived
I am sick of the taste of Red Bull
I am very grouchy
I am really starting to hate my Playoff Beard, which gets thicker, faster, every year I get older
I am happy to declare a new-found respect for the Phoenix Coyotes
I am agreeing with the nomination of Bryzgalov for Vezina
I am mistaken [...]
Detroit Red Wings: We’re OK With Being Hated
Everyone hates the Red Wings. It’s not a secret, it’s not hidden, and if anything, it brings the majority of the NHL together in a common enemy. Everyone else, at some point, somewhere, has a problem with the Wings.
But d’you know what? We’re ok with that. It’s fine that everyone likes to see us lose, [...]
Red Wings Season And Playoff Thoughts
The season first. Bad start, shaky middle, and solid end.
After losing 15 of the first 25 games (.400), it looked like Detroit were going to be in the middle of the pack, and fighting hard for points even this early in the season. The injuries piled up high, and fast, with multiple AHL call-ups pulling [...]
Oh My Successful Wings, How I’ve Missed You!
Oh yes people, the Wings are back. Fear for your playoff places (and for your silverware in generally), because we’re here to pee on your parade (unless you’re the Oilers, in which case, there’s no parade. Not even a couple of streamers in a gutter somewhere).
The Wings are, in the last 10 games, a blistering [...]
The Wings View Of The Playoffs
Many is the blog I’ve bemoaned the lack of consistency, the constant unpredictability, and the peaks and troughs of the Red Wings form.
However, as the season reaches the ‘business end’, there are more than a couple of teams who are suffering a similar fate. Just as the Wings find some form (7-2-1 in last 10), [...]
