Archived version of TPL – Hosted by DetroitHockey.Net
The third section of nickname winners are posted on TPL’S Facebook Page and anxiously await your votes. The first two sections were open for 48 hours, but seeing as how we’re approaching a weekend, these will stay up until Monday. Just a reminder… the top two vote-getters in each of the four sections move onto […]
Obviously… this is all in good fun. I actually like Mike Babcock quite a bit. Also, he scares the hell out of me. But if you’d like to create your own Stubborn Babcock, we’ve got you set up: http://memegenerator.net/Stubborn-Babcock You can also view the ones that have been created via that link. We’re enjoying the […]
The Red Wings and Predators spent all night in the penalty box, despite being the two least penalized teams in the league this season… Mike Babcock called out the refs on live television… gravity ceased to exist around Pekka Rinne… random bounces got by Jimmy Howard… Darren Helm had his wrist sliced open by Alexander […]
Take a good look at the unbelievable poster that sports your kind words and well-wishes. This beauty was designed by Josh Howard (@jhowarddesign) and features every comment and e-mail sent during our cross-blog effort to make sure that Patrick Eaves knows he’s missed and that we want to see him back in the Winged Wheel […]
The Red Wings announced earlier today that Chris Conner has been recalled by the parent club from the Grand Rapids Griffins. It’s unclear if he’s going to be inserted into the lineup right away, or if he’s been recalled due to precaution. Todd Bertuzzi and Dan Cleary are both battling injuries and Mike Babcock has […]

Two, I have some good friends that are Devils fans and they made sure to remind me that the Devils […]
After three years at Notre Dame, Riley Sheahan signed an amateur tryout with the Grand Rapids Griffins last week. In a handful of games for the Wings’ top affiliate, he was able to score a goal and add an assist, and assistant general manager Jim Nill mentioned that the Wings were close to signing the […]
Young Mr. Kindl has had an up and down season. On one hand, he’s shown tremendous potential and has looked every bit ready for the top six on an NHL club. On the other, he’s looked like a rookie (it’s his second season) for long swatches and that’s not generally something that the Red Wings […]
As the season winds down, we’re gearing up to begin the second Facebook vote to determine the favorite nickname submission from throughout the year. Just like last year, the winner will get a t-shirt of his or her choosing. We have forty semi-finalists, divided into four groups of ten. The top two finishers in each […]
On Sunday afternoon, the Wings needed a shootout to defeat the Florida Panthers 2-1. They played most of the third and overtime with only five defensemen after Kyle Quincey was ejected for an elbow to the head of Tomas Kopecky. He received a five-minute major and an additional ten minute misconduct. The National Hockey League […]
