Detroit ends their western road trip tonight in Phoenix along with their fourth and final regular season game against the Coyotes. The Wings have won all 3 meeting this season and will look to sweep the Yotes in the regular season series just like they did last year in the playoffs.Puck drops at 8 pm on NBCSN.Click the jump for more
It's still unknown who will get the start in net tonight for the Wings, but my gut tells me that it will be MacDonald and that Conklin has played his last game in the winged wheel. As much as I don't like the Mac attack, and I know some of you love him (I don't get it) he does at this point give us a better shot at winning than Ty Conks-cant-block can.Joey Mac is not the answer. He CAN NOT be relied upon to take us to the promise land if something were to happen to Jimmy again, knock on wood. He may get us through a game here and there but he is not a legitimate NHL backupThe Wings power play is horrendous as evident by them blowing every...

The Detroit Red Wings spent Sunday morning flying to Phoenix probably feeling like Ales Hemsky did after he was very cleanly Kronwalled (and even the Edmonton Journal’s David Staples says the hit was clean)—probably a little dazed and confused as to how they’d managed to rally from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits to take a 4-3 lead on the Edmonton Oilers…
And yet a three-goal third...

In the wake of the Red Wings’ 3-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes and 5-4 loss to tomorrow’s opponent, the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins-less Oilers, a pair of pundits are weighing in as to what the Red Wings might want to do given Jimmy Howard’s status as on the shelf until he can handle the pain of taking shots while playing with a broken index finger grasping his goal stick.
The Oakland...

The Detroit Red Wings tend to suffer a few injuries during February and subsequently go into an early-month slump (usually at the same time that the Nashville Predators, who the Wings play on Friday, make their customary division title push), but man, in their -3-1 loss to Phoenix…
Did the Wings’ special teams ever stink, and did the Wings ever engage in a game where trying...

DET (35-16-2) have earned 5 of 6 points in Western Canada, and wrap up their 4 game road trip tonight against the franchise that Gary owns. DET are 9-1-1 in their last 11, and will try to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since Dec. 21-22. For as good as the Wings have been, their special teams are a disaster. The Wings are a paltry 6-for-65 (9.2 percent) on the power...

On Saturday, the Oilers beat the very good Detroit Red Wings. This left us Oil fans wondering where the heck this team has been for the last three month. Six wins...if the Oilers would have won two more games in each the months of November, December and January, they'd have six month wins, 12 more standings points, and would firmly be in a playoff position. This team isn'...

from Open Ice Hitter at the StarPhoenix, - Interesting how the sports news crews and broadcasters refer vaguely to Patrick Sharp’s wrist injury …. Avoiding the mention of Jiri Hudler’s name, or the fact the Detroit Red Wing worm smashed Sharp’s wrist with a vicious slash …. Where is this going ? Yup. TO Brendan Shanahan … ex Detroit Red Wing …. Hudler should...
