Detroit Red Wings: Confused Feelings About The 4th Line Centre

The Wings are 4-1-0 in their last 5 games. If this season is anything to go by, this is the peak before the decline, but I’m not about to expect it this time. All too often, Detroit have put together a little bit of good form, only to then see it drop to a string [...]

The Detroit Shuffle

So whilst the Olympics are on, it gives many teams a chance to take stock of their rosters and injuries, and figure out how they want their players shaping up for the final few months of the season.
Andreas Lilja has been on long term IR since a massive concussion in February 09, caused by a [...]

Detroit Red Wings: The Old Saga Of 3-Point Games

There’s been a lot of debates, argument, and newspaper column inches dedicated to the subject of three point games.
I don’t think the argument will ever be settled, but I can at least see the cases for and against, and also the reasons behind them.
FOR:
TEAM A fights hard and are denied a win by exceptional and/or [...]

Detroit Red Wings - From The Sublime To The Ridiculous‏

The Red Wings continue to send me to the opposite ends of the emotional spectrum with their form.
They are currently 2-3-2 from their last 7, but were 5-1-1 from the 7 before that. Crazy isn’t it? We’ve lost 2 of the 3 games at home this month, and there are two more to go (Coyotes [...]

Detroit Red Wings: The Game Scheduler Must Have Failed Geography

Since my last blog, the Wings have been away from home as they completed a 4 game road trip. Detroit headed West after the win in Arizona, and played Anaheim, LA, San Jose, and then, errr, NY Islanders.
Now, can someone please explain to me, how the schedule ended up like this? I’m no geographical genius, [...]

Can Holmstrom’s Butt Help The Red Wings?

Over the festive period, I managed to pick up in the sales NHL10 for my Xbox 360.
Now, having learnt my trade in hockey games on the Sega Mega Drive (yes, I was born in the early 80’s, yes, I’m nearly 30, don’t rub it in), and then the PC, this was unchartered territory.
As it turns [...]

Detroit Red Wings: Cutting To The Chase

Overall 18-13-5 | Home 11-6-2 | Road 7-7-3
This is a pretty frustrating set of stats. The Wings can’t really seem to string more than a couple of wins together before capitulating. Zetterberg’s injury is just another problem to add to the list of growing concerns. Helm’s return is a welcome snippet of good news, but [...]

The Canucks Legend, Not Welcome In Detroit‏

Todd Bertuzzi.
Vancouver Canucks most exciting player 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004. The longest points scoring streak in Canucks history (tied). NHL All-star 2003 and 2004.
When Detroit signed him, I didn’t know any of those records, and I didn’t know he had a total of 255 goals, and 624 points in his 859 games.
What I did [...]

Osgood Getting A Bit Long In The Wings

The idea of these penaltykill.net blogs is to make public your feelings on how your Hockey team is faring, right? So if I was say ‘Meh’, would that suffice?
The Wings form is so back and forth it’s making me feel sick. We’ll string together a couple of wins, and then we’ll lose in OT, [...]

Detroit Red Wings: Don’t Stop Believing

“Just a city boy, born and raised in SOUTH DETROIT, he took the midnight train going annnnyyywheeerrreeee”
I bet on that midnight train he was sat next to Chris Osgood, who will of course be trying to hide himself away from the young upstart Jimmy Howard.
