IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU WIN BY AN INCH OR A MILE. WINNING’S WINNING The Wings and Ducks tussle at the Joe, 7:30pm. The Wings will be going for their 19th win in a row on home ice — which would be one shy of the National Hockey League record. BE READY TO HAVE YOUR […]
Final Score: 4-2 Wings (Hi, Mr. Petrella!) Breakdown: The first thing of note is Abdelkader did his Abdelkader thing and gets in a fight with Ryan “The Flow” Jones, for payback on what looks like a clean hit. Abby gets an extra 2 minutes for cross-checking Jones before the fight. Franzen scores a goal on […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) Coyotes 3, Red Wings 1. THE RUNDOWN Ugly. The team is in trouble without Jimmy Howard. Not that this game is on Joey MacDonald’s head — he played quite well. But if we’ve seen anything this season, it’s that Howard finds a way to win, and the others don’t. Conklin and […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) Red Wings 4, Canucks 3 in the Shootout THE RUNDOWN More Jekyll and Hyde hockey from the Detroit Red Wings. The first half of the first period was all Wings — the second half, all Canucks. The Wings were flat-out dominant for much of the first stanza, but the talented Canucks […]
RISE AND SHINE, CAMPERS! The Wings swing a bit more West through Canada, landing in Vancouver for the second of a four-game winning streak road trip. Puck drops at 10pm in the time zone that matters, and you can catch the game on Fox Sports Detroit or Sportsnet Pacific. It just so happens that today […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) Red Wings 4, Flames 1. THE RUNDOWN The Wings didn’t look too much in control of this one until the third, when difference in talent showed. Nice way to start a road trip, but the Wings will face a tougher opponent on Thursday when they meet Vancouver. With the win, the […]
LET’S PLAY THE QUIET GAME Fresh off of the All-Star Break, the Red Wings are looking to start the symbolic second half off on the right foot, visiting Western Canada for the second time this season — an injustice that was supposed to be rectified next season before the Players Association threw the preemptive tantrum. […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) A lot to a little, Montreal. THE RUNDOWN Skipping the whole thing. No one cares. WHAT’S NEXT We’ve got Calgary on the other side of the All-Star Break. Puck drops at 9pm next Tuesday and you’re stuck with me again. LOSS CANDY A pair of athletes who were likely working harder […]
OPTION B: YOU DON’T TALK, I REMOVE YOUR THUMBS WITH MY PLIERS. IT WILL HURT. Our boys are riding seven straight wins as they head into a five-game road trip, which is too bad since they’re basically invincible at home. They’ve earned seventeen straight wins in the Joe, but are merely .500 on the road. […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Mr. P!) 3-1 Wings. Suck it St. Louis. THE RUNDOWN Well how about that? For a team that has struggled to step up and deliver when there’s a cloud of hype and excitement, the Wings got it done and did it in a big way. With the win, they’ve opened up a […]
