The Production Line – TP:60

A FEW STOLEN MOMENTS IS ALL THAT WE SHARE Tonight, the Red Wings reach for the record books. They’ve won 19 straight on home ice — one shy of the National Hockey League record. Some purists will tell you that Detroit’s version won’t mean as much, since there are a handful of shootout wins in […]

FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) Red Wings 2, Ducks 1 in a shootout. THE RUNDOWN Wearing their road white sweaters, the Wings seemed to play like they were the visitors — vulnerable and not necessarily in control of action, generally the opposite of how things have gone at the Joe.

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU WIN BY AN INCH OR A MILE. WINNING’S WINNING The Wings and Ducks tussle at the Joe, 7:30pm. The Wings will be going for their 19th win in a row on home ice — which would be one shy of the National Hockey League record. BE READY TO HAVE YOUR […]

FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) Red Wings 4, Flames 1. THE RUNDOWN The Wings didn’t look too much in control of this one until the third, when difference in talent showed. Nice way to start a road trip, but the Wings will face a tougher opponent on Thursday when they meet Vancouver. With the win, the […]

LET’S PLAY THE QUIET GAME Fresh off of the All-Star Break, the Red Wings are looking to start the symbolic second half off on the right foot, visiting Western Canada for the second time this season — an injustice that was supposed to be rectified next season before the Players Association threw the preemptive tantrum.
