Well. That didn’t go well at all. I blame everyone except Darren Helm and Val Filppula. I don’t understand why everyone’s calling Chris Osgood’s performance “gutsy” and “fantastic.” I’m wondering if they were watching the same game I was. He was BRUTAL. He literally had to put effort into allowing the second Sabres goal, and […]
Brad May has been cleared by Immigration, paving the way for him to make his Red Wings debut. Patrick Eaves will once again be a healthy scratch, this time joined by Brett Lebda, who will still finish the game -2 somehow. Babcock is thrilled as he’s got his “keep the flies off” guy in the […]
For those of us eager to forget opening weekend in Sweden, tonight is opening night (but not really) for our Red Wings. Marian Hossa is sidelined after making one of his patented timely decisions to have shoulder surgery eleven minutes after signing a massive contract that contributed to his then-GM getting fired (oh, I’m sorry… […]
“Oh, son of a bitch, you’re going to use THIS photo forever, aren’t you?” The Red Wings have signed enforcer Brad May to a one-year deal worth $500,000, this according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie.

Okay, so the Red Wings dropped both “home” games in Sweden, and start the season 0-2 for the first time since 1989. Ouch. First of all, the one positive I can think of: what a great play by Kris Draper on the Jonathan Ericsson goal, the first Red Wings goal of the season. Draper clearly […]
With last night’s win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Red Wings ended their North American exhibition season. They play one more pre-season game against Farjestads on Wednesday, in Sweden, before opening the regular season with a pair of games against the Blues in Stockholm. Immediately following the Penguins game, the final cuts were made and […]

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 […]
This nifty little one-liner came across Twitter, via Bruce “THE HIGHLANDER” MacLeod: Goalie Dan Cloutier released by Red Wings. Was in on a pro tryout. So… relax, Hockeytown.
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 […]
