RED WINGS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Sovetsky Sport reports that Pavel Datsyuk’s made up his mind regarding future with Red Wings
Ugh. Not what I wanted to wake up to:
@dchesnokov @georgemalik WTF? sovsport.ru/news/text-item…
— Miklos Palvolgyi dr. (@palvolgyi) May 24, 2013
Sovetsky Sport's Artury Enikeew suggested that Pavel Datsyuk has signed a tentative agreement to play for Ak Bars Kazan for 3 seasons beginning in 2014, and that the contract will be announced after the NHL season...
Jimmy Howard’s Remarkable 2-on-1 Save Preserves Game 4 Shutout: Video
Jimmy Howard turned aside 28 shots Thursday night in a sensational effort to hand the Detroit Red Wings a 2-0 win and 3-1 series lead over the Chicago Blackhawks. No save was more important — or more impressive — than his sprawling denial of Dave Bolland’s shot during a Chicago 2-on-1.
Detroit defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo got caught trying to make a play at center ice, freeing...
Red Wings forward Joakim Andersson’s playing understatedly superb 2-way hockey
There's no doubt in my mind that the Red Wings' "x-factor" through their playoff run has been the performance of their third line, and while the Gustav Nyquist-Joakim Andersson-Damien Brunner line didn't factor in the scoring in the Red Wings' 2-0 win over Chicago last night, Nyquist deked and dazzled his way past and through Blackhawks defenders, registering...
Zetterberg getting best of Toews
DETROIT -- He's won a Stanley Cup, the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP and even an Olympic Gold medal.
But Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has just one assist in four games of the Western Conference semifinals. And after Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 , his team is one game away from elimination and his frustration is boiling over...

Bad news/good news: Red Wings’ Darren Helm’s definitely done, but Danny DeKeyser may yet return
In addition to today's pair of Red Wings-Blackhawks practice posts: I know that the story that got Red Wings fans down involved the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan's report that Darren Helm has suffered yet another setback in his attempt to recover from a partially torn ligament and slightly herniated disc in his back...

Ericsson helps fill big holes on Wings' defense
DETROIT -- It seems like just yesterday when Jonathan Ericsson was the young defenseman arriving on the scene and making an impact for the Detroit Red Wings.
In the Wings' 2009 playoff run, Ericsson stunned everyone with his four goals and four assists in the 22 games, and by playing three days after an emergency appendectomy. He had played just 19 regular-season games.
Now...

Wings thrive in lengthy penalty kill
DETROIT -- In the playoffs, you have to keep your shifts short -- unless you can't.
The Detroit Red Wings found that out the hard way early in the second period of Monday night's 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Defenseman Brendan Smith took a holding penalty, so the Wings' penalty killers headed out -- and seemingly never came back off the ice.
Despite killing...

Damien Brunner pelts Gustav Nyquist in the nuts during warmups
It’s common for hockey players to use a soccer ball off the ice to warm up before games. It’s a good way to get your legs going and have some fun with your teammates and work on communicating. Unfortunately for Gustav Nyquist, his teammate Damien Brunner never told him he was going to be throwing the ball directly at his junk. The routine must have worked though because...
GIF: Nyquist takes a soccer ball to the junk during pre-game warmups
Aside from Gustav Nyquist’s highlight reel goal Monday night, he was the recipient of an unfortunate shot prior to Game 3.
During pre-game warmups in the locker room the Red Wings regularly like to dribble around a soccer ball. Here we see Nyquist doing just that along with what looks to be fellow teammate Damien Brunner… Only instead of dribbling the ball back Nyquist Brunner...
NHL Playoffs: Wings vs Blackhawks Game 3 Preview
In a pivotal game 3, I will tell you why the Red Wings will take a 2-1 series lead against their rivals the Chicago Blackhawks.
Payback is a “female dog” as fans from Detroit would like to say.
What I am referring to is the 4-1 beat down the Red Wings put on the Chicago Blackhawks in game 2 of this conference semifinals series. This came after the Blackhawks gave Detroit a 4...
Babcock enjoying Red Wings' playoff ride
DETROIT -- You might not be able to tell by the expression on his face when he's on the bench, but Red Wings coach Mike Babcock is actually enjoying himself immensely.
Babcock has coached better teams. The 2008 Stanley Cup champions and the Canadian Olympic team that won gold in 2010 come to mind first.
Still, there's something about his 2013 Red Wings team.
"It&...

Red Wings drop Game 1: Reason for panic in Detroit?
The Detroit Red Wings played a grueling series against the Ducks of Anaheim in the playoffs’ first round, and it showed Wednesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.
In the first game of the second round, the Red Wings looked outmatched, getting outshot by a whopping margin of 42-21. Detroit was able to battle and take a 1-1 tie into the third period, but it was then that the...

Getzlaf, Bertuzzi get into it on bench
Perhaps their discussing which ride at Disneyland they’ll go on first since Henrik Zetterberg sent this series to a Game 7 back in Anaheim… I doubt it. In fact I don’t think Betuzzi and Getlaf will be trading phone numbers anytime soon after this spirited chat midway through the third period in Game 6.
