WTyF? Yes, there’s Loss Candy

The Final (Hi Dad!) 4-1 Blue Jackets. The Skinny So this could have gone one of two ways: 1) a repeat of 96 hours ago, where the Red Wings had their way with their half-retarded neighbors to the south, firmly entrenched in the living hell that is Ohio. Or 2) the Blue Jackets finally found […]

Final (Hi Mr. P!) Caps 7, Red Wings 1 Thoughts For a team that talked all week about “wanting to get back to playing”, the Wings sure didn’t look that interested in participating in Saturday’s heavyweight tilt against the Capitals for the first 30 minutes.

Oct. 21 :: Do You Suppose We’ll Meet Any Wild Animals?

Postgame: Everyday I’m Stiflin’

The Final (Hi Dad!) 2-0 Red Wings. Shutout for Jimmy Howard — the Wings improve to 3-0-0. The Skinny The Red Wings continued their undefeated surge — and, for the second game in a row, held their opponents off the scoresheet.

Postgame: Welcome Back Paul!

Final (Hi Mr. P!) Red Wings 5, Senators 3 The Skinny Well then. After a very touching ceremony to honor the legacy of Brad McCrimmon, the Wings put their feelings on the shelf and did something  that we as fans have been waiting to see for quite some time: jump on a team early at […]
