Chris Chelios, pictured here circa 1923. With rumors that Chris Chelios had hoped to continue his Hall of Fame career with the Rangers or Maple Leafs, it seems that a new suitor has emerged from the fiery depths of hell and country music (redundant): the Nashville Predators. John Glennon of the Tennessean – who, all […]
Sorry, Rob. Sorry, everyone, as it were… Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice is reporting this morning that former Red Wing Brendan Shanahan will be a member of the Devils again in 2009-10: Brendan Shanahan will be back with the Devils in 2009-10. The 40-year-old unrestricted free agent left wing has agreed to terms and […]
There’s a nifty little screenshot for you from Sportsnet, one of Canada’s leading sporting news providers, falsely declaring that Jiri Hudler is staying with the Red Wings for this upcoming season. Even Scuttles looks surprised they ran with the story… Solidifying his place at the top of the Wings beat writers rankings, Ansar Khan of […]
Malik has an article up this morning that chronicles the remaining free agent targets as they apply to the Red Wings (it’s wayyyyy at the bottom of that article). I know a ton of fans are pining (wrongly) for Todd Bertuzzi and others are all aboard the Taylor Pyatt Hype Train. Allow me to take […]
This morning, it’s being reported that PJ Axelsson has signed with Frolunda of the SEL for four years. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m heartbroken Axelsson won’t be joining the Red Wings, but he was a guy on the list we put together a few weeks back clarifying who might be a […]

Hey, did you hear that? It sounded like every trombone in Michigan – any millions of others around the world – simultaneously playing the same four notes. Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily Herald reported late Tuesday night that Marian Hossa has a bum shoulder – or possibly a rotator cuff injury: The severity of […]
Jiri Slegr’s Twelve Oaks Glamour Shot – circa 1993. With the San Jose Sharks signing former Red Wing prospect Danny Groulx this afternoon, it got me thinking… where are all those other “that guy”s? Groulx never got into a game with the Wings, so he’s in the same echelon of “former Wings” as Tomas Fleischmann […]
Hey, have you heard the Red Wings are pretty tight against the cap? Depending on a few factors like Andreas Lilja’s ability to start the season, the impending defenseman trade, and what route the Abdelkader Express takes, the Wings will have somewhere between $1.7 and $4.4M to play with. Ken Holland has said that he […]
“Great job with the Campbell deal. You’re fired.” “lolwhut?” Rumor has it Dale Tallon is getting the axe. NO! Not a cap genius like him….. It would have been fun watching him run that team into the ground over the next few years. I suppose enough dumbassery happened this summer to sustain us. ***UPDATE*** The […]
