Not even kidding.
I received the opportunity to conduct a phoner interview with Brendan Shanahan, currently the VP of Hockey and Business Development (or, as his Twitter profile says, VP of “blah blah blahblahblah”) at the NHL.  I had a double-take moment where I debated the validity of this offer, and …

Wednesday, March 3 is NHL Trade Deadline Day.
What are everyone’s plans? NHL Network in the US is feeding TSN’s Trade Centre show all day, which is stellar.
I’m furious at myself for booking a flight home from Denver tomorrow, which means I’ll be in the air with no …

Last night Ken Daniels mentioned that Holland was planning to make a move today.  Brad May has been waived, and now that 3pm ET has come and gone, there were no trades, even after much speculation that Lebda or Meech could be going.
Now it comes out that Kirk Maltby might …

Kronwall’s out against the St. Louis Blues.  Eaves says he’s “doubtful.”  Holmstrom might not be in, either.  Down 2 fowards and a defenseman.
But I don’t care right now because Johan Franzen is making his glorious and hopefully triumphant return to the lineup tomorrow.

The Red Wings lost to the Los Angeles Kings in a tough 3-4 game, having blown a 3 goal lead, only to lose.  I’m disappointed in them, and I’m sure a lot of the other blogs will take them to task for their performance.
But I’m not going to.
I want to …

McCosky has an article today about the sudden salary cap crunch that the Wings find themselves in, or at least will, shortly.
He makes an interesting statement off the bat regarding The Perfect Human:
Holland could be looking at rebuilding half the team this summer, and all that’s at stake there is …

According to Khan Kronwall will be back in the lineup tomorrow.
And, it seems that Mickey wasn’t as drunk as we thought during the Kings game, as Lilja has gone 13 days without a headache from his concussion (he needs to go 14 in order to be cleared by doctors).  Obviously …

I went to Warren 77, Avery’s bar in NYC, this past Friday (with some of my favorite Twitter people).  I had heard about the picture that he had hanging in the bathroom, so of course I had to see it immediately.
And well… see for yourself:

Yes, that’s Brendan Shanahan as Batman …

The NHL is considered, at best, in last place when it comes to the top pro sports leagues in the United States, behind the NFL, NBA and MLB.  Possibly even second tier all together, next to Major League Soccer.  Even golf gets more press and media coverage than hockey does.
As …
