It was a back-to-back for the Red Wings, and we couldn’t muster any goals. However, a bright spot from the 1-0 game was Jonas Gustavsson. In his first game back since November 5th, he stopped 26 shots. Don’t forget how much Petr Griffin helped us. Jimmy Howard and Gus, nice to have you healthy. We […]
In the midst of a six-game west coast road trip, the Red Wings haven’t lost in regulation yet. They are halfway through, winning two and losing one in a shootout. The shootout came in Anaheim Monday night. Pavel Datsyuk broke open a scoreless game in the second period with an unassisted goal. He stole the puck […]
Dallas set the tone in their own arena by fucking with us from the jump. We were prodded into a fight via Jonathon Ericsson in the first period. Ericsson put the snarf in his place. Apparently, the Stars have one speed: douche. They scored first on a cheap goal. It was answered before the first […]
Jimmy Howard went into the United Center with some Detroit bricks and put up a wall. Howard faced an onslaught of Blackhawk pucks in our opening period. We killed two power plays and finally got some scoring chances as the first ended. Chicago had all this early energy, but they seemed to shoot their wad. […]
In just his second game since returning from injury, our Olympic goalie stopped 27 of 28 shots en route to a tragic 1-0 loss at Joe Louis Arena. We will try and channel the swag of our Red Wings and move on. The lone goal was extremely unlucky. It came in the final three minutes […]
Fuck the Spurs. They always take advantage when a playa is down – whether it was their original shortened season title, fouling Andre at the end of the half, or winning the last game before break when everyone’s tired. Stan Van didn’t blame our players, either. This completes a brutal seven o’ clock time slot where the […]
Who even knew Phoenix was now AZ? In this billion dollar global sports economy there are four main leagues – the NFL, NBA, MLB, & NHL – but when it comes to marketing, there’s just the first three. The first period against the Coyotes was stymied by two penalties against Detroit in the first ten minutes. […]
Detroit blanked their old nemisis in Colorado 3-0. However, the whole game was a battle of netminders. Only one goal was scored in the first 57 minutes. Petr Mrazek blocked 28 saves for his first shutout of the season. He has been stellar so far as our injury replacement for both Jimmy Howard & Jonas Gustavsson. After […]
Detroit beat the New York Islanders 4-1 in their first game at Joe Louis Arena since the all-star break. We finally have some good goalie news: #1) Jonas Gustavsson started in Grand Rapids tonight. He’ll make one more start with our Griffins before hopefully re-joining the Red Wings. #2) Jimmy Howard faced some shots in […]
Picking right up where they left off, Detroit won 5-4 down in Florida for their sixth in a row. Despite trailing 2-1 after one period, we rallied for four straight second period goals to re-take control of the game. Stephen Weiss scored and assisted against his old team. The Panthers made it 5-4 midway through […]
Oldschool and I turned her on up 2-1 after one period of play. Minnesota represents a team from our past, a former Western Conference foe. A Grand Rapids Griffin scored his first career goal to put us on the board. Teemu Pulkkinen looks like Happy Gilmore with his wicked slapshot. Unfortunately, his youth put him in […]
If you had seen last night’s game, Detroit took a 3-0 lead in the first period, forcing a goalie change from the Predators. Tonight, it was deja vu – our opponent, the Sabres, scored three goals on their first seven shots to force Petr “Griffin” out. To Mrazek’s credit, he’s evolving faster than he was […]
After not seeing our Red Wings all season, Detroit was in for a treat on Saturday night. Before you could see the puck drop, we took a 1-0 advantage. Then, another goal. Finally, Tomas Tatar netted a 3-0 lead in the first period! Our opponent was the dreaded Predators. They can be seen taking Nikolas […]
The game stayed scoreless for the first half of action thanks to Petr Mrazek stopping several tough shots, including one point blank rebound in the second. We were on the doorstep at the end of the period ourselves, just barely missing a few tries. Then, unexpectedly, St. Louis’ coach called timeout with about two minutes […]
Detroit struck first on a short-handed goal courtesy of Darren Helm (via way of Quincey). We never relinquished the lead behind Petr “Griffin” Mrazek, who stopped 25 of 26 shots that came his way. Buffalo made it 2-1 Red Wings, but Detroit scored another goal in the second period to re-up her to a two […]
In the midst of a six-game road trip, Detroit avenged their opening loss to the Canucks with back-to-back wins in Edmonton and Calgary. Justin Abdelkader has been leading the charge with two goals and three assists in these two victories. The Oilers had tied it at two in the third period until they were assessed […]
Los Angeles took down the Knicks by about twenty points to end 2014. Following suit, Detroit beat the Devils 3-1 at Joe Louis Arena later the same night. The Red Wings were tied at one goal for most the game, then a gorgeous deflection took the lead. Darren Helm finished it off on a charging […]
The Red Wings made it back-to-back wins Saturday, taking down the Ottawa Senators 3-2 in overtime. Jimmy Howard stopped 31 shots in his return to the net. Gustav Nyquist drained the game-winning shot with under a minute left. Detroit beat Buffalo 6-3 before the Christmas break. Petr “Griffin” had been filling in admirable for Howard, […]
