A funny thing happened in Hockeytown on Wednesday. Brad May suddenly turned into Marion Hossa and The Joe suddenly turned into Anaheim-Game 3. It seems the referee blew his whistle, after a slow count of three...
I've been seeing, as of late, a lot of talk and 'rumors' about how the Wings are interested in Marty Biron of the Isles. When I first heard the rumor, I was kind of intrigued, thinking that maybe if Biron was in Hockeytown, he might do some good...

The roster losses the Detroit Red Wings sustained over the summer are well documented, so I won't waste time detailing them here...
For a coach, having a depth of talent on your roster is sometimes a curse. Trying to preach attention to detail and defensive awareness to a team that knows, on most nights, they're going to bury the opposition in goals is a tough task...
One of the biggest surprises in the league thus far is the mediocre start of the Detroit Red Wings. Cheering on a team that has enjoyed so much success for so long, it’s understandable that fans might be a little spoiled...
It’s never a good thing when a team loses big, but it always happens once a year, at least, to every team. It always ends up with the players being embarrassed, the home fans feeling like ...
