Far be it from me to question Ken Holland (though I’ve already done that right here), but a day after watching Jason Williams break his leg and the Red Wings re-enter their spiral of terrible hockey, we get this gem, compliments of the Free Press: Holland said the Wings do not expect to have to […]
Just as I posted about the recent Red Wings cuts, more were announced. Kris Newbury – recent Toronto Maple Leafs signee has been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to Grand Rapids.Jeremy Williams – ditto. Even the Maple Leafs part.Evan McGrath – placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to […]
Yesterday, the Red Wings made their second round of training camp cuts, assigning five players to Grand Rapids, and releases three others from their tryouts. Today, the club continued their sweep by assigning a sixth player to the Griffins, leaving the total number of players in training camp (including injured players and new tryout Brad […]
Friday night, the Red Wings will take on the Maple Leafs in the first half of a home-and-home. They’ll be icing mostly regulars, with a complement of call-ups. Or, as Red Wings fans call it, February. The expected lineup: Johan Franzen — Pavel Datsyuk — Tomas HolmstromTodd Bertuzzi — Valtteri Filppula — Dan ClearyKris Draper […]
Dan Cloutier is expected to split duties with Daniel Larsson tonight against the Rangers, leaving four players still on the roster who have yet to suit up in an exhibition game (Pearce, Axelsson, Piche, Kolosov). I’m beginning to wonder if these guys are injured because for what other reason would surefire Griffins Kolosov and Axelsson […]
Early favorite for a nickname: Tots It was a busy day for the Red Wings, first announcing that they had signed 2009 second round pick Tomas Tatar, followed by inking training camp tryout Willie Coetzee. Tatar had a wonderful prospect camp, followed by a strong main camp. Ansar Khan broke the news: The Red Wings […]
The Red Wings dropped their second game of the prospects tournament on Monday evening, losing 5-3 to the Carolina Hurricanes. But, like a night earlier, the story seemed to be Tomas Tatar – who scored his third goal of the tournament and added an assist. The Sporting News’ Craig Custance had this to say on […]
Nothing goes with red and white like canary yellow! Sunday evening, Red Wings prospect camp opened in Traverse City – as the Wings young’ns defeated the Thrasher prospects by a score of 6-4. 2009 second round pick Tomas Tatar scored a pair of goals including the game’s first eight minutes into the contest. Griffins defenseman […]
I only picked this photo because I’d like to pose a question to the readers of TPL: what the hell is a seawolf? The Red Wings no longer hold the rights to their ninth round pick in 2004, Nils Backstrom. The Wings held the rights to the Swedish-born defender until August, 2010, but evidently have […]
First, the Red Wings announced – via Red Wings Central – that a third free agent has been invited to prospect camp. Joining Willie Coetzee and Chris Whitley is Austin Fyten. Kyle at Babcock’s Death Stare has – as expected – an article about the three invites, including the little-known Fyten. Second, Red Wings Central […]
