summer speculation 12 August 2010

As I’m sure most of you were also doing last night, I watched the NHL Network air the ABC/ESPN broadcast of the 2002 Stanley Cup Game 5 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.  Gary Thorne and Bill Clement kept reiterating the star power, and the to-be Hall of Fame players.  That …

 game recap 10 January 2010

Great win by the Wings tonight.  One of the more complete games I’ve seen them play this season.  Which begs the question: why can’t they play at least half as well for the others?  Is it just because they’re the Sharks?  We’ll never know, I suppose…

The 2009-2010 season starts today.
Oh, I know it actually started yesterday. Joe Sakic had his number retired in Denver; a nice little ceremony and all that.
But it starts today for us. For Red Wings fans. They are dropping the puck in Stockholm in about 30 minutes against …
