 game preview 21 October 2010

Not much time for a game preview today.  But hey, Red Wings hockey is back after an abnormally long time off.  I didn’t see the Wings’ last game in Phoenix, but they got the W, albeit in overtime.  Let’s improve upon that and get back to playing Red Wings hockey.
The …

Oh hai.  Coincidentally the minute the hockey season started work picked up and I’ve been absolutely slammed during the day, leaving little to no time for previews and recaps.  Thus, I’m getting this out rather earlier than I’d want.
Lineups:
Nothing official out yet, but I can only assume …

 game preview,game recap 25 September 2010

Red Wings hockey on my television.  It’s like an oasis in the middle of the desert that is the offseason.  I don’t care if it was pre-season.  It’s the Wings.  It’s hockey.
In the spirit that is the pre-season, this is just going to be a mish-mash of notes and thoughts, …

 game preview 6 May 2010

They’re bringing out their brooms in San Jose.  The Wings are teetering on the edge, down 0-3.
You don’t need to make history tonight, Detroit.  One game, one chapter at a time, you just have to start writing it, not complete the book.
Let’s Go Red Wings.

 game preview 27 April 2010

The Wings will get it done in the desert tonight.
I believe.
