Former Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom will attend 97.1 FM's SportsFest alongside Tomas Holmstrom this Saturday, and in the interim, Lidstrom has returned to Detroit to meet with the Red Wings' brass as the two parties attempt to define Lidstrom's post-hockey role with the team as a part-time Swedish scout, an ambassador of sorts, a draw for sponsors and, most likely, an at-large member of the Wings' braintrust regarding moves made at the trade deadline, the draft and in free agency... When he's not letting the front office, Mike Babcock, the Wings' current players or new captain Henrik Zetterberg pick his brain, he's probably going to catch up with best pal Tomas Holmstrom and his old neighbors from Novi, and the Free Press's Helene St. James reports that Lidstrom will attend both tonight's game between the Wings and Blues and Friday night's game against Anaheim: "I believe, tonight, he's in the box with me, and Friday, he&...

Bertuzzi hospitalized with back pain

Via Detroit Sports Nation  |  February 14, 2013
Todd Bertuzzi may be done for the season, or more seeing as how he is 38. The Detroit Free Press reported earlier tonight that Bertuzzi had been admitted to the hospital with extreme back pain. Bertuzzi has missed Detroit’s last three games with his chronically-injured back and, following a 5-3 win over St. Louis last Thursday, “could barely walk” according to the Detroit...

Red Wings overnight report: on ‘Panic in Hockeytown,’ Zetterberg, Brunner, Cleary and realignment

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 12, 2013
The Detroit Red Wings took Monday off to rest up as the team had played four games in six nights and a pair of weekend games, including Sunday's 3-2 win over Los Angeles, but the Kings made the Wings' lives a little more difficult on Monday night. When the Wings return to practice today, they'll know that the St. Louis Blues will be coming into town in an awful mood...

Pavel Datsyuk bank-shot goal from behind the net

Via Diehardsport  |  February 13, 2013
Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk is known for his skill, but you can’t forget about how incredibly smart he is.  He picked up his own rebound, looked at the net, realized he had enough space and fired it from behind the net off the back of the glove of St. Louis Blues rookie goaltender Jake Allen.  Unfortunately for Datsyuk, his magic wasn’t enough as the Red Wings blew...

Tomas Tatar Scores Dazzling Goal in Detroit Red Wings’ Loss: Video

Via The Detroit Sports Site  |  February 14, 2013
The Detroit Red Wings were handed a tough 4-3 overtime loss by the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night, after leading 2-0 early on in the game. Tomas Tatar, recently up from Grand Rapids of the AHL, opened the scoring with a Datsyukian move at the net — Tatar corralled a loose puck just in front of St. Louis rookie netminder Jake Allen, pulled off a sensational deke, then roofed...

Red Wings Thursday practice post in progress: no changes on the injury front

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 14, 2013
The Detroit Red Wings are back on the ice at Joe Louis Arena, hoping to rebound from a 4-3 OT loss to St. Louis despite facing a very, very tough task on Friday in battling the 9-2-and-1 Anaheim Ducks, who haven't played since defeating the Blackhawks 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday. I'm going to be out of the office from about 12:30-2, so if there's big breaking injury...

GDT - Game 13: Red Wings (7-4-1) host Blues (6-5-1) 7:30

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 13, 2013
Six nights ago, the Wings went into STL on a damn ugly two-game skid, and the prospects for the Wings season were dire.  DET looked like world-beaters at STL, winning 5-1 and starting a season high three game win streak they skate into The Joe with tonight.   Things couldn't be worse for STL.  The Blues stormed out of the gate, 6-1 in January, but since that time are 0-4...

Red Wings Tuesday practice post in progress: no news isn’t good news regarding Helm, Bertuzzi

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 12, 2013
The Detroit Red Wings are back on the ice today, preparing for a grudge match and-a-half against an ornery St. Louis Blues team tomorrow evening (7:30 PM EST, NBCSN/97.1 FM, and, via RedWingsFeed, Yahoo Sports' Sean Leahy expertly explored the Blues' issues), and it sounds like the Wings will have to continue playing without a pair of players battlng back ailments: ...

Red Wings-Blues game-day updates, take 2: Johan Franzen’s out for tonight

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 13, 2013
Normally, I'd try to keep the game-day updates regarding tonight's game between the Red Wings and St. Louis Blues (7:30 PM EST, NBCSN/TSN/97.1 FM) in one thread, but surprising and unpleasant injury news regarding a player whose size and strength the Wings rather desperately needed to employ against St. Louis merits its own entry. According to the Macomb Daily's Chuck...

Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall partnering with autism charity

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 13, 2013
The Macomb Daily's Jerry Wolfe reports that Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall's going to donate tickets for Red Wings games to families affected by autism, starting this season, in association with the Autism Alliance of Michigan: Kronwall, 32, was turned onto AAoM after hearing Anthony Ianni speak about awareness and safety training for those with autism who face...

Looking Ahead to 2013-14

Via Nightmare on Helm Street  |  February 12, 2013
I know it's early, but its always fun to speculate. What will the Red Wings look like in 13-14? There are some questions that need to be answered, mainly how can they upgrade on defense, and can they keep both Filppula and Brunner? Who's out, and who's in? Take the jump for more speculation. Looking at CapGeek we can see that Kenny will have to make a...

Red Wings-Blues quick take: Wings fail their first-quarter exam in a big way

Via Kukla's Korner  |  February 13, 2013
I don't know what the *#$%@& to say. The Red Wings had a 2-0 lead on the sleeping St. Louis Blues, and then, somehow, a team that'd won 3 straight and 3 straight games against St. Louis managed to find a way to wake a sleeping giant and *#$%@& themselves over as thoroughly as possible en route to a 3-2 OT loss to the Blues. The Red Wings took all of 5 shots in the...
