Bertuzzi’s Big Day I have a bone to pick. The other night, I wandered over to the NHL Shop website looking to spend a $25 gift certificate that I had received over the holiday season. As soon as I hit the site, I knew what I was going to buy: a red t-shirt with the […]
There’s no surprise in me telling you that the regular weekend parties at TPL world headquarters are not to be missed. Mysterious women. Extravagant food. Alcohol by the Mack truckload. Many a man and woman have emerged from TPLand on a Sunday morning (or afternoon), squinted their eyes and wondered aloud “What the hell just […]
Ed note: In the style of Rob Discher because yes, I’ve been drinking. The first salvo of the WIIM/TPL All Star Game Extravaganza has been fired, but don’t let the scoreboard fool you. Sure, you may see “WIIM:1, TPL:0” after the conclusion of tonight’s first ever NHL All Star Game Draft, but looks can be […]
With goaltender Evgeni Nabokov officially signed to a one-year, $570,000 (pro-rated) contract offer (with No Movement Clause) from the Red Wings, he begins his journey along the waiver wire: a 24-hour period where none of us will know his fate, and can only speculate as to which NHL team he’ll become property of on Saturday […]
Let’s take a journey back a few months to the beginning of the Red Wings season. The Red Wings – coming off a season that featured more injuries than fingers on a pair of hands – looked to be well rested and primed for success. The Wings finally had a healthy lineup ready to take […]
By now, we’ve all seen the video. Brad Stuart, to the left of the Red Wing goal, does nearly a full-360 after getting a rock-solid elbow to the noggin. Stuart’s jaw was broken on the play and, though he won’t require surgery, the Red Wings will be without his services for six to eight weeks. […]
Ask anyone that follows the game of NHL hockey with some degree of regularity to name the Top 5 defensemen in the game today, and the name Nicklas Lidstrom will cross the lips of almost every single participant in the poll. Some might argue that Lidstrom is even the greatest to ever play his position, […]
Well, I told you I’d check back in with you all after the Dallas game, and here I am. Sure, it’s only a few days late and sure, it’s on the eve of 2011, but I’m here to tell you that we are ACTUALLY back (again) and ready to cruise through the last 60 minutes […]
We’re back. Don’t act like you aren’t excited. Well, I’m back at least, so you’ll just have to deal with it until the rest of the group returns from their holiday food comas. I don’t care if I’m still hanging out in Virginia and still “technically” on vacation; I’ve missed all of you and it’s […]
If you’re anything like me, this morning was spent searching for answers about the debacle at Joe Louis Arena last night. The Red Wings went from 60 to zero faster than a speeding car hitting a brick wall, and it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why things went wrong. Sure, giving up a pair of backbreaking […]
