Archived version of TPL – Hosted by DetroitHockey.Net
WE’LL DO IT LIVE! Join Chris Hollis of Motown Wings, Tyler of the Triple Deke, and both halves of TPL – Rob and yours truly in a live chat during tomorrow’s Trade Deadline Extravaganza. I’m working out the details as we speak, but the idea is that we’ll have a CoverItLove chat session up on […]
Congratulations to Team Canada. They now have as many gold medals (two) in the last half century as international hockey powerhouse Team Fuck Yeah America. Now it’s time to make good on a bet. A $30 donation is headed to H2H. Thank Maria. ***UPDATE***Our number one fan in the Marine Corps, Rob Masters, has matched […]
Please excuse the non-Red Wings post, but it can’t go unnoticed. This afternoon, Brian Burke’s son, Brendan, was killed in a car accident. He was 21-years-old and a pioneer for gay rights in hockey, sports, and life in general. A bit of my heart broke hearing the news – and I never met the man. […]
I was at Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final this past June, and – though the game didn’t end as we would have liked – there was a great moment. Chris Chelios, the Red Wings’ 47-year-old warhorse was taking warm-ups, like he did every night. There was no chance he was going to get […]
The most dapper photo I could find… Shanny’s days as a player may be over, but we all knew he couldn’t stay away from hockey. I suspected he’d be tapped to run the union, although that would make far too much sense for anyone associated with the NHLPA to actually pull the trigger on it. […]
Today, hockey legend Brendan Shanahan announced his retirement. NHL.com broke the news, which caught some steam on Twitter. The New Jersey Devils used the second overall pick in 1987 to select Shanny, who also played for the Blues, Whalers, Wings, and Rangers during his 21-year career. His best offensive years were with the Blues, but it […]
Last week, we mentioned that Darren McCarty was hanging them up, for all intents and purposes. He mentioned in his radio interview that he’d be interested in doing some commentating, and offered “just call me… I’m available.” One of the perks to working in television is that I get this nifty daily newsletter alerting me […]
The Darren McCarty era may have come to an end in Detroit a year ago, but there goes one of the most beloved Red Wings of all time. In an interview with QuinteHockey.ca’s Aaron Bell, Mac had this to say about his hockey playing future: I haven’t officially, like, said [I’m retired], but in my […]
Delta stock dropped 38% with the announcement… I’m a little late with this news, but thought it was worth mentioning nonetheless. Former Red Wing Mike Sillinger announced his retirement from the NHL yesterday, ending a 17-year career spanning 1049 games, but only 43 post-season games. He broke into the league with the Red Wings during […]
