I really dug this article. Here’s the idea behind Mount Puckmore. (Ed. Note: Welcome to Puck Daddy’s August series, “Mount Puckmore” which will feature fans, bloggers and various media personalities of all 30 teams choosing the four defining faces of their franchise. These four people are who you remember most when you think of these [...]

Obviously I have a bit of biased behind this but Pavel Datsyuk should be ranked higher then number 10! I am wrong? Hockey season needs to get here faster! [HockeyWebCaster]

I know, I have been slacking on Red Wings news, mainly becuase so many other bloggers around the net do it sooooo well already (hats off to you all!). But I like consolidating information into a single organized little package, it’s nothing ground breaking just an Off-Season wrap up. I did not include everything, just [...]

Thanks again to Hockey Web Caster for these awesome vids in the SLOWEST part of the season

So with this slow portion of the summer about to end promptly on August 1st I thought I’d share the many things I have me eye on. Red Wings On August 5th Mike Modano is supposed to give us his answer to the question: Will Mo play in Motown this season? After that we’ll get [...]

I’ve been hanging on to this for a while from the Winging It In Motown blog and figured I would wait for a slow part in the NHL season to post it. Since the Wings won’t do anything until we hear back from Modano around August 5th (OH, COME ON! we still gotta sign Helm [...]

Here’s the last 5! Some awesome plays too, including those last second game winners (I think they were even back to back games too), a couple grand shootout goals, and more of the Pavel Datsyuk show! #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 I WAS AT THIS GAME SCREAMING AT THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS GOAL! Just awesome [...]

Can you guess who got on the list for the 10th, 4th, & 2nd goals!? Awesome! This makes me more excited for next season, I already sorely miss hockey. [HockeyWebCaster]

Hockey is awesome, here’s a bunch of clips that prove it. I was wondering if the Wings/Avs brawl of ’97 would make the cut and after watching these I can see why it didn’t, lol.

Big hits are an awesome fun part of hockey, here’s a tribute top ten countdown of the biggest hitters. Kronwall makes #10! [HockeyWebCaster]

Nothing major here, just wanted to share a few pics, a vid and how this finals has been a blast to watch so far! I hope it goes 7 games! So enjoy the few pics and the Game 4 promo. I’ve been real tight on time lately so this is all you get at the [...]

It’s that time of the year again! NHL season is almost at it’s climax, fans of 2 teams foam at the mouth every time the Stanley Cup is mentioned, & I’ll well up like Modano when the winning team is doing the same thing with the greatest trophy in sports; IT’S THE STANLEY CUP FINALS! [...]

So i had originally posted that the Penguins are going to the Stanley Cup Finals, and I was certainly wrong, lol. The conference finals are underway and I finally have gotten over morning the elimination of the Detroit Red Wings so it’s time to compare my last round predictions to what actually happened and make [...]

Western Conference Not much going on here, Sharks and Blackhawks will face each other, promises to be an epic battle! The 2 teams that swapped top spots numerous times finally get to duke it out in the Conference Finals! (Go Hawks! I want to see an original 6 finals ) Things are getting Bromantic! Eastern [...]

Let me start off with saying I know the Wings are still down 3-1 and they have but a tiny chance at winning 4 in a row but if there was ever a way to start that off it is with a glorious 7-1 win! I love playoff hockey and even more Red Wing playoff [...]

Another batch of great pics from around the NHL playoffs! Gotta love intensity. I swear this isn’t soccer. Just look at the players faces. Stuart hits his man a bit high. The goalie’s face is priceless.

Well, eventually. The Eastern Conference is full of good teams…..that can not make it out of the first round of the playoffs. #3 New Jersey Devils, #2 Buffalo Sabres, & the #1 President Trophy winning Washington Capitals were all defeated in the first round! Who is left? Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, and the [...]

The Red Wings had a chance to close out Round 1 of the playoffs against Phoenix on Sunday but could not. Phoenix forced a game 7 back in the whited-out Phoenix. Wings fans everywhere were worried about playing a game 7 in that arena. What happened was one of the funnest Wings games I have [...]

More pics after the glorious win the Wings had and more! The Toothless Wonder makes another appearance. Cool pic celebrating a goal with the fans in the background. Datsuyk enjoying the aftermath of another goal. Goalie leapfrog. Howard took a shot to the head and it knocked off his helmet. He even made the immediate [...]

Gotta love the playoffs, you can catch some epic & passionate pics! Hockey’s toothless grin in all it’s glory Burrows getting up-ended. Big hit! “DID I DO IT RIGHT COACH? DO I PLAY HOCKEY GOODER?” Nice triple axel. The Brad Richards karate kick! I’m actually a day late posting this but oh well, enjoy em!

Watching games 1 and 2 were so much fun & made me already sad since hockey will be over in about a month. Game 1 Wings started quick with a 1-0 lead but Phoenix’s physical play & power play was the difference maker. It was a close game (3-2). I have been fearful that Bertuzzi [...]

My favorite Getty Images from night 1 of the 2010 NHL playoffs! An interesting goal celebration. I love the goalie’s eyes here. Stupid Phoenix celebrating a stupid goal! Nice pic though! A tooth on the ice. Jumping after the puck. Howard freezing the puck.

After an off-season of me saying “geez, we just lost another player” I thought to myself this could be interesting. Interesting was right but this was one of the funnest Wings seasons I’ve watched in a long time, not that they were not ever fun to watch, they absolutely were. It’s just that this season [...]

Wow, if you wanna tear up just watch Modano receive his ovations pre and post game. With what was possibly #9′s final home game, dang, what a way to go! [HockeyWebCast]

NEW YORK — Beginning with tonight’s games (March 25th 2010), the National Hockey League will implement a new rule prohibiting “a lateral, back-pressure or blind-side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact.” Under the new rule, the NHL Hockey Operations Department is empowered to review any such [...]
