Sixteen games left, on the outside looking into the playoffs. Needless to say, this is not the place the Detroit Red Wings wanted to be in, nor expected to be in. How do they get back into the playoffs? Simple. Win the games that they are supposed to win, while stealing a point or two in games that they are not favored to win. Easier said than done. Here's an idea. ...

Looking at the Detroit Red Wings website, and one would be very surprised to find that the Red Wings have a three game win streak. The symbol for "injured reserve" is a double star (**) and it appears five times (should be six because Dan Cleary is out for a while) on Detroit's web site. Now, once again, the Red Wings are forced to go to the well and this time call ...

As a Red Wings fan and a writer, I am having some difficulty understanding why this Wings squad constantly "forgets" to show up to games that seem to be easy victories. Yes, yes I am aware that no games are easy in the new NHL. Nevertheless, one would assume that teams should not "s*!t the bed" against the lowly Edmonton Oilers.

Yes, the very same Detroit Red ...

The Detroit Red Wings have a knack for getting past tough times. Their current predicament looks very insurmountable. The Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night by a score of 3-2. Johan Franzen scored the game winning goal. Unfortunately, he will also miss the next four months with a left ACL tear. "We knew he had been bumped but we never thought anything was wrong," Babcock said. "He played the ...

The Detroit Red Wings are far from in trouble. They are currently last in the Central division. Usually this would pose a problem for a team and its fans. WAKE UP people! It is TWO games into the season. They haven't won a game yet. Big deal. In the lastáfour years, they are 1-3 in opening games. They haven't started a season 0-2 in recent memory, but they have all the ...

Who said winning ONE Stanley Cup was ever enough? Not Todd Bertuzzi or Jason Williams. Both players are back in Detroit this year. Both have heavy expectations on their shoulders. Other free agents such as Patrick Eaves will join them in pursuit of Lord Stanley's hardware, but this season will be tough as the Wings once again look to be the NHL's oldest team. Williams, a Detroit farm team product, is ...
