The Detroit Red Wings’ seventh round pick in 2007 has passed away. Bryan Rufenach, a defenseman who had been playing for the Toledo Walleye, died while traveling in Europe. No additional details were shared. After four seasons at Clarkson University, the Red Wings opted not to sign him to an entry-level contract, instead hooking him […]
Our summer-long cross-blog investigation into the free agents-to-be continues at Winging it in Motown, who examine restricted free agent Darren Helm. Something tells me the vote will be relatively one-sided. Head over to read the reasons and submit your vote!
For the second off-season in a row, we — as well as our good friends at Winging it in Motown — are taking a look at the Red Wings’ upcoming free agents and asking the community for their input. Read all of the important information and then place your vote — should the Wings try to […]
We all knew the writing was on the wall when we received the press release announcing the conference. Re-signings, even when they involve your generational talent and captain, don’t get a press conference. They get a conference call or a simple release. Press conferences are reserved for hellos.

There are eight athletes left, and […]
Pavel Datsyuk finds himself a 1 seed against T.J. Oshie in the opening round of EA Sports’ cover voting tournament. With some luck, Pasha can become the second Detroit athlete to grace the cover of an EA Sports’ 13 game and some could argue that there’s no better choice — what with his video game […]
Well, what a lovely surprise. The designer of the kick-ass poster (@JHowardDesign) woke up, opened his e-mail, and saw this awesome picture, along with a note from Mr. Eaves, who is very touched by all of your kind words, Hockeytown. Below is a copy-and-pasted note from Patrick: To the Fans: “I want to thank everyone […]
Continuing the post from a few days ago, it’s time to explore the free agents-to-be within the forward ranks. Joining the two goalies and seven defensemen are seven forwards who need a contract for next season — and two draft picks whose rights will be expiring sooner rather than later. Grab another beer.
