The last two days have been particularly gloomy from a Red Wings fan's perspective--or at least mine--so, facing a content-light morning, I'm going to try to look at the bright side of things. So excuse the gritted teeth and false smile from a very gloomy-feeling blogger...
As the Free Press's Steve Schrader reminds us, the Wings' training camp may have been indefinitely postponed, but at least Wings fans can skate at the Joe tomorrow, on Tuesday and on Wednesday:
Nobody else is using Joe Louis Arena, so the Red Wings are opening the ice to fans. There will be four 1-hour open skates, Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m.-noon, noon-1 p.m., 7-8 p.m. and 8-9.
It's all free, including parking, but you have to bring your skates and register at detroitredwings.com/openskate while space is available.
Some bargain-price food will be available at the Joe, or you can bring your own. No pucks or sticks allowed.
And while fans like you and me might have sho...

In the hockey world, everyone knows that Pavel Datsyuk is some kind of supernatural freak. Due to the NHL lockout, Datsyuk signed with the KHL’s CSKA Moscow along with Nashville’s Most Valuable Partier, Alexander Radulov. In a game Monday night against Avangard Omsk (wtf?), Datsyuk tracked the rebound of his denied shot and headed the puck into the net soccer-style. Most players...
