Tag Archives: Red Wings

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 [...]

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 [...]

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]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Detroit Red Wings just had a TOUGH 3-game Western Conference road trip. Red Wings vs Flames This was the Wings biggest game of the year! Only 14 games left in the season and they were playing a team that was 1 point behind them for the last playoff slot. This was HUGE! After giving [...]

As many Colorado and Detroit fans know Claude Lemieux and Darren McCarty (as well as lots of the players) had an immense altercation on March 26th, 1997. Here’s a vid from composed from a Wings fan on YouTube. The show Off The Record (OTR) finally gets these 2 in the studio to talk about the [...]

You want to see me get worked up about something – fine! I see these hits throughout the NHL and players keep getting simply a slap on the wrist. Why is the NHL protecting these head hunters? Until I saw this video I did not know that Matt Cooke was such a culprit. They NEED [...]

Lilja, Holmstrom, and Franzen might be back real soon!! Lilja: The long wait appears to be nearing an end for Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja. After sitting out 11 months because of a concussion, Lilja is expected to take a major step toward his comeback with a conditioning stint at Grand Rapids (AHL). The Wings [...]

I saw this and it just makes me pumped for the NHL season to hurry up and get to the playoffs! Whether the Red Wings make it to the playoffs or not I will still watch a good chunk of playoff hockey. It’s like the video shows, it’s an epic battle on ice and it’s [...]

I like how Lilja is trying to test is head, “Lilja also asked Franzen to drive his head into the glass.” HAHA nice! By CHUCK PLEINESS Journal Register News Service The Associated Press Red Wings defenseman Andreas Lilja has gone 14 days without a headache since suffering a concussion last February after fighting Nashville’s Shea [...]

First off here’s a kids hockey game that turned into a massive kiddie brawl. Time to ground them all! As some of you know, this has not only been a season where the Wings lost a lot of firepower but a season plagued with injury. Players are starting to come back from injuries and the [...]

This one was a lot fo fun to watch, plus my favorite active player had a couple highlights on the countdown as well (Pavel Datsyuk). [HockeyWebCast]

Lots of Red Wings in this weeks highlights (not all good unfortunately). I disagree with the #1 play, looks more like another stroke to Crosby’s ego, i mean come on, look at play #2!!!! It’s insane! Here’s another clip that is awesome. Watch this desperation save by Brian Elliott against the Blackhawks. [HockeyWebCast]

This play is insane, if I was the goalie I would be screaming at my defense, lol. /A\ News ENG camera person Jason Hallman’s footage of a Victoria Salmon Kings goal against the Bakersfield Condors is chosen as TSN’s Highlight of the Night for Friday January 15, 2010. The play involved Scott Howes, Dirk Southern, [...]

Brad May backhanded the goal into the net, it was in the net for about 3 seconds before the whistle blew and still it was not a goal, BS!!!!!!!!

Steve Yzerman is by far my favorite hockey player. I’ve seen him do amazing things on and off the ice. Some of the most memorable moments is the Game 7 overtime goal, the shot over Roy, his crazy pass (#5 in the vid), him battling back from his nasty eye and knee injuries, winning his [...]

Detroit Red Wing Swedish players Andreas Lilja, Niklas Kronwall, Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom, Johan Franzen, and Jonathan Ericsson pose in Joe Louis Arena after practice. The Red Wings will open their 2009/2010 season with two games on the road against the St. Louis Blues in Stockholm Sweden. With our Swedish superstars in toe [...]

IllegalCurve.com posted a season preview (in the same manner Puck Daddy did). Check out the lengthy article here. It’s complete with an off-season recap, looks at different positions and includes quite a few videos too. Check it out! [IllegalCurve.com]

2009-2010 Game schedule, Season Starts Oct 2nd (preseason starts September 16th)! This season can’t come quick enough!!!! Now that the Wings are done with the offseason signings I have nothing to do but wait til the fall. Source: Detroit Red Wings, ESPN

The Detroit Red Wings welcomed Jason Williams back into the fold on Thursday, signing the forward to a one-year deal. This contract marks Williams’ second stint with Detroit after he spent six seasons wearing the Winged Wheel earlier in his career. The Detroit Free Press reports that the deal is worth $1.5 million. I think [...]
