I know it’ll pain some Red Wings fans to see Claude Lemieux and Darren McCarty shake hands during this interview, but these videos are a must-watch for any hockey fan. Canadians sports talk show Off the Record landed both guys — their first ever meeting off the ice — and didn’t hold back, asking questions […]
Imagine yourself a little less than six months in the future. August 7, 2010, to be exact. You’re standing on a pristine waterfall, a more perfect location can’t possibly exist. Standing next to you is an impossibly beautiful woman. Looking at her convinces you that the only thing you’ve been placed on this Earth […]
Photo Credit: LIFE. Obviously. I don’t even know why we’re surprised anymore when Ken Holland reveals something borderline-shrewd and otherwise unforeseen. Earlier today, when the Wings failed to clear the necessary cap space to activate Andreas Lilja, we were all convinced there were two possible options: Option 1 :: Lilja isn’t medically cleared by team […]
“It’s great, isn’t it? It’s called goaltending.” -Mike Babcock, following the Red Wings/Penguins game, in which Jimmy Howard stopped 46 shots for the second game in a row. Over the weekend, the team earned three points and Howard stopped 96.8% shots he faced. Mike Babcock isn’t squeaky clean in this ordeal. No one liked when […]
Well, that was sixty full minutes of hockey, buoys and gulls (boom – aquatic humor). The team looked poised, ready, and confident — a trio of qualities almost foreign to this year’s version of the Red Wings, but we all knew that the tides would turn (yup, another one) at some point in the season, […]
Man, oh man, wish he could be square to the shooter. *The title of this post was, originally, That. Just. Happened. But after publishing, I saw Chris’ post at Nightmare on Helm Street with the same title, so I had to come back and change it. He beat me to it. Also, go read it. […]
Feeling good about Z and Buckets coming back tonight? Good. Because here’s this: Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom will be out for 3-4 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his foot, general manager Ken Holland said today. The injury happened after Wednesday’s practice at the Honda Center in Anaheim, when Holmstrom was working on […]
When Andreas Lilja missed the New Years Eve game against the Colorado Avalanche, he missed his 82nd straight game. Sure, some of them were playoff games, and they were spread out over two seasons, but the de-facto fifth defenseman has missed the equivalent of a full season of hockey, thanks to a punch to the […]
That’s how it’s done. A full sixty minute effort, and a win for the good guys. The calendar will switch over to 2010, and the Red Wings have 20 wins on the season, thanks to a 4-2 victory over the once-hated Colorado Avalanche.We all know the league is ass backwards, but I think the biggest […]
Here I am, thoroughly convinced this smartass photo wouldn’t come back to totally bite me on the ass two hours later. What are you, kidding me? I’m on the road, heading back east Sunday morning, but the Twitterverse would never let me hear the end of it if I didn’t mention Todd Bertuzzi’s two-goal performance, […]
