WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? At the behest of Disch, we continue our theme of Brad Pitt inspired pregames this week. “Burn After Reading” gets us set for the fifth of six matchups between the Wings and Blues. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a postgame wrap-up too! (Sorry about Saturday folks.) The NBC Sports Network is […]
WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? This is the third matchup of six against the BJ’s this year. Puck drops tonight at 7:00 PM JLT (Joe Louis Time). FS-D has the coverage. WHERE WERE WE? :: Detroit scratched out a 3-2 shootout win over the Coyotes in Phoenix on Thursday. :: The BJ’s got left dry in […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Mr. P!) 3-2 Wings in the Skills Competition THE RUNDOWN Both teams coming off of a game the night before. Wings started slow and got down early, but took control and got the two points in the end. BULLETS OF IMPORTANCE If last night was the way to start a game, tonight […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) 3-2 Red Wings in Overtime. THE RUNDOWN Third meeting of the season between Wings and Hawks. Third time it was a 3-2 final. But it was the half-toothed murderer who ended this one. After missing the last game with an undisclosed injury, Todd Bertuzzi Kool-Aid manned his way through the Joe […]
WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? Wings and Hawks. For the third time in two weeks. This time, it’s a Saturday matinee: 12:30pm on NBC. The real one. Not the random cable channel no one can find. The Wings will attempt to tie a franchise record of 14 straight home wins today. THEIR LAST GAMES :: Detroit […]
Final Score (Hi Dad!) 5-1 Islanders. No, seriously. The Rundown This is a game that was over before it started. Anytime you saunter into Long Island to face the powerhouse Islanders, you just gotta expect an ass-kicking. What’s that? Oh, you say they’re the worst team in the L’Eastern Conference? Well shit, I got nothing. […]
UPDATE! Per Ansar Khan of MLive, Pavel Datsyuk is out tonight with an undisclosed injury sustained in the Chicago Blackhawks game on Sunday. Rather than calling anyone up, the team will use 7 defensemen and 11 forwards. ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY DAUGHTER, I GOT A .45 AND A SHOVEL. I DOUBT YOU’D BE MISSED The […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) 3-2 Red Wings in overtime THE RUNDOWN Man… Wings/Hawks games are fun. Great energy, lots of action, and a beautiful overtime victory after three unanswered (and unanswerable) goals by the good guys. A solid game from Ty Conklin, who stopped 29 shots — including a penalty shot — and earned his […]
WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? The Wings and Hawks renew acquaintances, in their second meeting of the season. Puck drops at 7:30pm Eastern, and can be seen on Outdoor Living Network Versus NBC Sports Network and TSN2. THEIR LAST GAMES :: Detroit fell just short against Toronto just last night, 4-3 :: Chicago was spanked, 4-0, […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) 4-3 Maple Leafs THE RUNDOWN A single game that resembled the early portion of the Red Wings season: terrible… then great… then terrible again. The Leafs put the Wings though the ringer in period #1 — the top pairing of Nicklas Lidstrom and Ian White had a rough night — before […]
