As if you needed more reasons to join “The Twitter,” it’s becoming a place where it’s safe to both be a Detroit Red Wing and be savvy with the social media. In the past, we’ve heard (and seen Wingspan features) with players and management outright bashing the medium and its forefathers like Facebook — guys […]

Join the Detroit Red Wings in welcoming the 2011-12 hockey season by attending HockeyFest at Joe Louis Arena on September 10th from 11am until 6pm. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for kids twelve and under. Included in the ticket price are all-day autograph sessions with current members of the team (including newest Red […]

As I’m sure you’re familiar, we’re no strangers to raising funds for children in need –and the Red Wings community has proven time and time again that they’re generous beyond words — even though a great deal of us don’t live within Hockeytown’s borders anymore. Our good buddy @captnorris5 is helping a friend help some […]

It didn’t take long for the Red Wings to get on the board in Las Vegas, as Nicklas Lidstrom won his 7th career Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman. Lidstrom finished ahead of both Shea Weber and Zdeno Chara, riding his 62 points and 23+ minutes a game to another piece of hardware on […]

Congratulations to our friend Partha, who has won the first TPL Nickname Contest. His winning submission came on February 13th, when the Wings faced off against the Bruins and the selected theme was The Godfather. After several rounds of voting on the TPL Facebook page, the following submission has emerged victorious: Mike “If I Wanted […]

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Octodrama: a Red Wings fan cited for tossing the traditional cephalopod onto the ice at Joe Louis Arena. It’s been covered beautifully by our friends Matt Saler and George Malik, and we certainly won’t step on their news-reporting toes. We will say that the NHL stepping in […]

Well, here we go, Hockeytown. In a few days, our boys in Red and White are going to embark on a journey that will end one of two ways — returning hockey’s holy chalice to its rightful place in Motown… or heartbreak. As we gear up for Wednesday night’s first game against the Phoenix Coyotes, […]

The Detroit Red Wings organization, its players, and its fans are the furthest thing from strangers to a good cause. In the two years we’ve been involved with H2H, I’m proud to say that we’ve raised just under $20,000 for Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the Red Wings just announced that they’ve teamed with The […]

***UPDATE*** No less than 700,000 people have already asked where they can get one of these. The man behind the genius told me to have you all e-mail him if you’re interested. Like I mentioned, he doesn’t have a store or anything, but he does have some lying around. Coordinate with him and see if […]

I know it goes without saying at this point, but I’m going to say it again: Detroit Red Wings fans are the most generous fans there are, and it shouldn’t surprise any of us to see that — once again — a group of dedicated wingnuts have pledged to donate a hefty sum to Children’s […]
