Welcome!

TheSportingSnarf  is a website dedicated to the enjoyable, humorous, and nuanced aspects of the sporting and (to a lesser extent) pop-culture world.  We attempt to touch upon (in varying degrees of print/video length) engaging topics which are not discussed nearly enough. We’d love for you to give us your perspective, network, and participate regularly. But if you’d just like to join in on the mob-mentality and get all sanctimonious on a particular sports figure — head on over to ESPN.com. (Mickey Mouse welcomes you.) Or you can keep it real with us.

Ending the Season Strong

The Red Wings shutout Carolina 2-0 to complete the 2014-15 regular season. Petr Mrazek saved all 35 shots he faced from the Hurricanes. Our Griffins really stepped up while some veterans rested. Grand Rapids’ Ferraro scored his first goal of his career to put us on the board early. It was pivotal, as the score […]

Red Wings Clinch Postseason

A point from overtime in Montreal means the Detroit Red Wings are going back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. We battled our asses off to earn the birth. The Captain and The Assistant continued to take charge. Pavel Datsyuk set up Tomas Tatar for the first goal of the game. Henrik Zetterberg assisted Datsyuk to […]

One Step Closer

All the leaders of the Red Wings stepped up to make sure they beat the Carolina Hurricanes in our final home game of the season. We should be fine, but it has gotten tight towards crunch time in the Eastern Conference. This win puts us two points with two road games to go away from […]

Red Wings Go Hard in Shootout

Detroit picked up a huge point in Minnesota just by forcing overtime. That ended in a shootout, where Jimmy Howard was in net. Howard lasted eight rounds, making some sensational saves. He Supermanned one, and he stopped the first two to give us a chance to win it. Gustav Nyquist slid one through their goalie’s […]

Our Condolences to Mike Babcock

Our Red Wing coach lost his father. We pray for his whole family on behalf of Detroit. He said his own family prayed that he’d join Mike’s mom, for he’d been battling some rough heart and lung issues since last summer. Babcock said his dad was a big Red Wings fan and was surely watching […]

Detroit Crushes Penguins

This might have been the craziest hockey game I’ve ever seen. At one point in the second period, there were five Penguins in the penalty box. It all got out of hand right before the first closed. After Detroit took an early 2-0 lead, Pittsburgh panicked. Our Red Wing was fighting their player behind the […]

Blue Jackets Snarf Wings

“I guess 40 shots wasn’t enough,” texted Red Wings fan Tyler McKeage (to me after the game). Their goaltender was just back from injury, and with nothing to accomplish at the end of the season, Columbus seemed to get hype for us. It’s all the gay Ohio State fans trying to beat Michigan.

Red Wings Avenge Mule

The Edmonton Oilers, like their name suggests, are greasy. After nearly ending Johan Franzen’s career with a deliberate shot to the face (resulting in a concussion that has since kept him sidelined), Detroit was on a mission to kick some ass tonight at Joe Louis Arena. I slept through the first two periods. Apparently, they […]

WEEKEND UPDATE

2 out of 3 Ain’t Bad

That’s gonna be our Detroit anthem tonight so we can spell the Pistons blues. Spring Training – Tigers @ Orioles Let’s leadoff in Lakeland, where Detroit won 15-2 yesterday to begin spring training games. Anibal Sanchez took the mound, going two scoreless innings with one hit allowed. VerHagen came in and got the win, followed […]

Red Wings Triumphant Road Trip

That’s about as good of a road trip as you’ll see in professional sports. Detroit beat Nashville 4-3 to go 4-1-1, losing their lone game 1-0 on the second night of a back-to-back. Jonas Gustavsson got the start in goal. He suffered the losing end of that near-shutout and looked strong today as well. Gus […]
