WHEN AND WHERE? Oh god, someone left me the keys to the pregame. Let’s do this and hope I don’t light anything on fire while everyone else is away. Red Wings vs. Canuckles, 10:00 PM Eastern. Game is on FSD, and TSN for you north of the border. WHERE WERE WE? :: Detroit grabbed a […]
The reason I’ve been M.I.A. (other than finals week stuff) is because I’m putting together a calendar for 2012! The theme is Wing vs. Wing, and each month features our favorite Wings players battling each other. Ever wonder who would win a staring contest? Who is better with the ladies? You’ll find out in this […]
Click to enlarge. Last week’s Gradient is here. Notes: Let’s just say that no one improved this week and and leave it at that. White’s face is blocking Kronwall and Filppula. Miller is blocking Kindl’s face. Commodore is blocking Conklin. Votes under the cut.
I’ve been awake since 5 am and I have a bruise twice the size of a puck on my thigh. This postgame is going to be bitchy. Final Score: 3-2 Blues (Hello Mr. Petrella!) Important Things The first period was goalless, with two penalties for each team. Our power play didn’t look great here. The […]
We’re doing something a little different tonight, since the artsy one has the reins. This is my first time writing a postgame and I’m banging it out before my own game tonight, so bear with me. SCORE: 4-2 Wings (Hi, Mr. Petrella!) First period: Call it woman’s intuition, but I could feel that Datsyuk goal […]
Click to enlarge. Last week’s gradient is here. Notes: Filppula has moved up. His play in the past two games has been great, and is probably the most impressive forward we have right now (vying with Franzen and Datsyuk for that spot). Emmerton is making little mistakes and not making up for them with anything […]
From the drama yesterday surrounding Smith’s status, this tweet from our account put quite the mental image in my head. And this is the only picture where you will ever see Mike Babcock crying a little bit.
Click to enlarge. Last week’s gradient is here. Notes: Again, only Petrella and my votes are in at the moment, check back later to see if either of the other guys input their votes. Updated with Hollis’s scores at 2:30 pm EST. Thursday’s game against the Sharks doesn’t have much weight on the votes, since […]
Click to enlarge. Here’s last week’s gradient. Notes: Petrella and I are the only votes here, and his votes did not reflect last night’s game. Hollis got his scores in this morning, so I’ve updated the gradient at 6:45 ET to reflect that. Zetterberg and Datsyuk have crept farther up the Failure axis. They are […]
CLICK to enlarge. Here’s the last gradient. Notes: We have a very distinct cluster of players right around 2. Those guys have been playing their ass off and it shows. Lidstrom is back to near perfect. Where he belongs. Other than Zetterberg’s goal in the Ducks game, we don’t feel as if Datsyuk and Zetterberg […]
