Archived version of TPL – Hosted by DetroitHockey.Net
Hi again. My name is Tyler and I usually write elsewhere, but I was out sleepwalking and ended up here in this weird WordPress land that smells like Ted Lindsay’s garage and stale curly fries. Let’s talk about hockey. The Red Wings went down to Nashville and will leave with few complaints, getting a split […]
The third section of nickname winners are posted on TPL’S Facebook Page and anxiously await your votes. The first two sections were open for 48 hours, but seeing as how we’re approaching a weekend, these will stay up until Monday. Just a reminder… the top two vote-getters in each of the four sections move onto […]
Obviously… this is all in good fun. I actually like Mike Babcock quite a bit. Also, he scares the hell out of me. But if you’d like to create your own Stubborn Babcock, we’ve got you set up: http://memegenerator.net/Stubborn-Babcock You can also view the ones that have been created via that link. We’re enjoying the […]
The Red Wings and Predators spent all night in the penalty box, despite being the two least penalized teams in the league this season… Mike Babcock called out the refs on live television… gravity ceased to exist around Pekka Rinne… random bounces got by Jimmy Howard… Darren Helm had his wrist sliced open by Alexander […]
Take a good look at the unbelievable poster that sports your kind words and well-wishes. This beauty was designed by Josh Howard (@jhowarddesign) and features every comment and e-mail sent during our cross-blog effort to make sure that Patrick Eaves knows he’s missed and that we want to see him back in the Winged Wheel […]
Country Grammar: Two Ways. Take your pick. WHO’S THIS GUY? Wait, you don’t remember me? I don’t blame you. It’s been almost three months of Hollis-free TPL and I’m surprised Petrella and Disch even let me back in the front door. Three months of watching the Wings go from on top of the world to […]
The Red Wings announced earlier today that Chris Conner has been recalled by the parent club from the Grand Rapids Griffins. It’s unclear if he’s going to be inserted into the lineup right away, or if he’s been recalled due to precaution. Todd Bertuzzi and Dan Cleary are both battling injuries and Mike Babcock has […]
The Wings dropped a particularly hurtful one on Thursday night. One, they no longer control their own destiny… they’re at the mercy of other teams to contend for home ice and that rarely works out. Two, I have some good friends that are Devils fans and they made sure to remind me that the Devils […]
After three years at Notre Dame, Riley Sheahan signed an amateur tryout with the Grand Rapids Griffins last week. In a handful of games for the Wings’ top affiliate, he was able to score a goal and add an assist, and assistant general manager Jim Nill mentioned that the Wings were close to signing the […]
Young Mr. Kindl has had an up and down season. On one hand, he’s shown tremendous potential and has looked every bit ready for the top six on an NHL club. On the other, he’s looked like a rookie (it’s his second season) for long swatches and that’s not generally something that the Red Wings […]
