The Detroit Red Wings won a close-fought, playoff-style hockey game in the 11th round of a shootout against the Nashville Predators last night. Niklas Kronwall – that’s right … defenseman Niklas Kronwall – scored the winning goal in the shootout against Predators goalie Pekka Rinne. Overall, the game was more than a solid effort from the entire [...] We’ve seen this before. The Red Wings put in a better-than-solid performance with few missteps and lots of shots on goal. Still, they end up short. It’s hockey, right? Well, we thought we’d seen this before … but we hadn’t. In yesterday’s road game against the Vancouver Canucks, the Wings [...] After three days off to wander Western Canada, the Wings came out of the gate slow, sluggish and unprepared for the NHL’s worst team tonight. Sometimes it’s easy to think that the Red Wings’ management team is just shopping around for pity, working the refs out whenever they can. Why? That’s been a part of hockey for a long, long time. And the Wings have done it so well for so long. Then there are other times, [...] Wings fans should be neither surprised or dejected at the loss of “Mister October” Marion Hossa.

And Nicklas Lidstrom was certainly stiffed by the league’s voters in his efforts to bring home a fourth-straight [...] It’s been a long season and yet if we could have had another 10 minutes or so … maybe it would have been different. The Red Wings were stoned by Marc Andre Fleury and the crossbar, and they came up short against the wunderkind of the NHL, Sidney Crosby and his [...] We’ve got another casualty in 2009’s War on Everything Detroit, and this time it has nothing to do with the auto industry. For the first time in more than 15 seasons, fans of the Red Wings will not be able to watch a Red Wings playoff game at Joe Louis Arena, a [...] I wanted to point you to some coverage in today’s New York Times Hockey Blog about the economic chaos that surrounds us in Detroit amidst the Stanley Cup Finals. Oh, and will somebody else please second me … Journey sucks. At the Joe, Detroiters Sing “Don’t Stop Believin’ “ – [...] |
