Take a good look at the unbelievable poster that sports your kind words and well-wishes. This beauty was designed by Josh Howard (@jhowarddesign) and features every comment and e-mail sent during our cross-blog effort to make sure that Patrick Eaves knows he’s missed and that we want to see him back in the Winged Wheel […]

As the season winds down, we’re gearing up to begin the second Facebook vote to determine the favorite nickname submission from throughout the year. Just like last year, the winner will get a t-shirt of his or her choosing. We have forty semi-finalists, divided into four groups of ten. The top two finishers in each […]

Obviously, we’re not strangers to the grass-roots efforts ’round these parts. Having proudly been involved in both H2H’s and the surprising success of Operation: Curly Fries, we’ve seen first-hand what a motivated community can do, and the great lengths to which it’ll go to ensure one of their own feels right at home: whether that’s […]

In honor of Todd Bertuzzi’s official re-signing, announced by the team this morning, our buddy Alvin would like you to know that he has a few Bertuzzi Kuzzi’s left over and they can be yours! Alvin (@abrant23) is getting married this weekend (MAHZEL TOV, SON!), so he might not respond to your e-mails right away. […]

The second installment of The Production Line vs. Winging it in Motown All-Star Spectacular ended much like the first one did: with beer money clenched in our cold fists, making our way to the concessions to serve some draft suds to our friends from down the street. Congratulations are in order for Team Winging It […]

Just a quick update a night before the Skills Competition. Our good friend Ayron (@ayronatthewings) has very generously sent a pledge of her own: a full set of six bobbleheads to one lucky pledger. Long story short — make us a pledge. The top pledger via The Production Line and the top pledger via Winging […]

We just wrapped up the second annual All-Star Fantasy Draft with our friends at Winging it in Motown. We were defeated ever-so-slightly last season and this year, instead of picking with our hearts, we picked with our brain — hoping to take the victory on points over our arch-frienemies. No, all of our players may […]

Well, more like poster… From our brain to Casey Richey’s Photochoppin’ fingers.

Remember last year? Everyone hated me for about nine minutes when it became public knowledge that I selected Steven Stamkos instead of some 40-year-old dinosaur on defense in the first round of the All Star Fantasy Draft (I wonder what happened to that fogey, anyway…). The trash talk started early. The trash talk continued late. […]

Finally, some good news. A Grand Rapids filmmaker has begun production on a documentary that will follow the Grand Rapids Griffins (and, during training camp, the Detroit Red Wings) throughout the 2011-12 season. The Wings have given Chris Penney and his crew permission to film at camp in Traverse City — as well as at […]
