Mar. 28 :: Yeah, well… You’re not from Chicago

WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? The Red Wings and Blackhawks renew acquaintances tonight at Joe Louis Arena. Puck drops at 7:30pm Eastern. NOW WHERE WERE WE? This is the fourth time these two teams will meet this season, with two more contests to go before the season ends. Those clowns from the Windy City lead the […]

Detroit News: Think Twice Before Hating the ‘Tuzz

Just a quick hitter this morning, as Team TPL is in the midst of packing up the bags and getting ready to head to Motown for H2H2. First, let me say that if you didn’t read Disch’s piece on Todd Bertuzzi yesterday, do yourself a favor and get on it. I couldn’t agree more with […]

Loss Candy :: Time for an “Adjustment”

I have nothing to say. What a craptastic way to end the road trip and lead us in to H2H2. Petrella will have more on the pledges at some point, but for now I’ll let the loss candy do the talking. Tonight’s offering is based on “The Adjustment Bureau,” which Petrella and I both saw […]

The Pipeline: Cory Emmerton

With all the talent coming up through the Red Wings system, there’s plenty of unique stories, personalities and talents to share, and we here at TPL are doing our part to bring those to you via “The Pipeline.” It’s time for another installment of “The Pipeline” and this time the guys welcome in current Grand […]

Loss Candy :: Are You Surprised?

Final 3-1 SanJo (Hi Mr. P!) Thoughts Do I really need to go through this game again? I think it was pretty easy to see where things went wrong last night. A red-hot team in their own barn conspired against the Wings from the start, and when you add no jump from the Wings and […]

Mar. 3 :: His brother was a ’59, Fred Dorfman.

He said legacies usually get asked to pledge automatically. Ten pledge games down with only a pair of chances left to send your moneyz to the children. Last night’s tilt with the Ducks didn’t do a whole lot to pad the coffers and the pledges are pretty darn thin for tonight’s game, so we are […]

Loss Candy :: Share the Blame

Final 2-1 Ducks in OT (Hi Mr. P) Thoughts Of course, we’ll start with the the play of the night: Ruslan Salei’s “hooking” call in OT on the Ryan breakaway. There’s not a doubt in my mind that it was the wrong call and it seems like every single person in the Wings locker room […]

The Sak is Back: Jan Mursak Recalled

The ping-ponging that is Jan Mursak’s organizational status continues today, as #39 will head back to Detroit to replace the injured Patrick Eaves against the Stars tomorrow. Mursak, fresh off inking a new two year deal with the Wings organization, will step in for Eaves as the Wings weren’t able to get conclusive results from […]

Loss Candy :: Five In A Row Was Nice

Since we didn’t get a pregame up before the San Jose game, I’ll offer up a few of the regular “tidbits” in the postgame instead. Don’t thank me all at once. Bert: Fresh off of his moment of glory in Minnesota, Big Bert’s follow-up act is a clunker against an opponent who could have playoff […]

The Pipeline: Riley Sheahan

With all the talent coming up through the Red Wings system, there’s plenty of unique stories, personalities and talents to share, and we here at TPL are doing our part to bring those to you via “The Pipeline.” It’s time for another installment of “The Pipeline” and this time the guys welcome in current Notre […]
