And here…we…go…

Give em hell, Gator. I’m a little late to this party, and some of the following things to watch have been mentioned by our friends at Nightmare on Helm Street, but the roster has been set for tonight’s pre-season game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Per Khan: Johan Franzen — Pavel Datsyuk — Tomas HolmstromKris Draper […]

First Cuts!

**CORRECTION** Gleason Fournier has also been cut, according to John Hahn, Senior Director of Communication for the Detroit Red Wings. The first cuts were made from the Training Camp Roster, leaving 50 by my count – a figure that includes the injured Andreas Lilja, Darren Helm, Ryan Oulahen. Players may not be cut while injured, […]

Training Camp! Line Matchups

Jason, how many times do I have to tell you…stop trying to find your way back to Columbus. Ansar Khan shares some insight into the line matchups as well as defense pairings that Uncle Mike intends to use for the upcoming intersquad scrimmages, and while it’s dangerous to use these preliminary lines as gospel, it […]

Tatar continues hot streak in loss

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 […]

Tatar scores a pair in Prospect Camp opener

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 […]

New Feature:: Training Camp Roster

So, being that I like watching things fall into nice, little categories, I’ve made a spreadsheet containing the names and positions of all the players invited to training camp (or prospect camp…or the summer camp that took place in July…) so that we can watch how the cuts unfold and visually see our team coming […]

Meet Your New/Old Red Wings

Alright, numberphiles. Get your inhalers. With Red Wings Central’s announcement of the Training Camp Roster, we learn what numbers the new additions will be wearing this upcoming season. Jason Williams and Todd Bertuzzi take over their old digs in #29 and #44. Newcomer Patrick Eaves will be in Dougie Brown, Brett Hull, and Dallas Drake’s […]

A Few Non-Bertuzzi Notes

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 […]

Red Wings invite former prospect to Training Camp

Accepting an invitation to be a free agent tryout is former draft pick Randy Cameron. Cameron was the fifth round pick in 2007, but the Wings declined to extend him a contract offer at his signing deadline in June. He was allowed to re-enter the draft, but was not selected. Making good on his promise […]
