TY CONKLIN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Red WIngs off-day news: It’s never too early to panic about goaltending

The Detroit Red Wings didn’t receive lights-out goaltending from either Ty Conklin or Joey MacDonald at key points during their 5-4 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday evening, but the team in front of him was as porous as activated carbon, standing around and allowing Oilers players to get sticks on loose pucks unobstructed on all four goals—and Sam Ganger...

Ty Conklin's job on the goal line

Jimmy Howards broken right index finger will be either the best or worst case scenario for Red Wing backup goalie Ty Conklin. Not that Conklin or anybody else for that matter wanted to see Howard get injured, but in pro sports it comes down to opportunity. If anybody needs an opportunity to prove themselves, its Ty Conklin. Since he backstopped the Wings to 3-0 victory at Colorado...

The Red Wings’ goalies are diametrical opposites when it comes to ‘Face Paint’

The Score has posted two videos regarding the Red Wings goaltenders’ masks over the past three weeks, and as it turns out, Ty Conklin is as uninterested in what adorns his mask as Jimmy Howard is particular about the design work Ray Bishop does for him. Here’s the Score’s clip of Ty Conklin shrugging off wearing a “back-up” mask from his last stint in...

Can the Blues’ Goaltending Get Any Better?

The answer is yes. Signing Brian Elliot to a $600,000 two-way deal was a great move as the Blues gained an all star and did not have to sacrifice any assets. It was a minor blip on the radar in the free agency period last summer but it’s panned out wonderfully to this point. What they lost in free agency though was Ty Conklin. This sounds like nothing at first. I don’t have cable...

Conklin strong, Red Wings back atop the West

To put it mildly, Ty Conklin has struggled in his efforts to back up All-Star Jimmy Howard between the pipes for the Wings.  Coming into Dallas on Tuesday night he had won 2 of his previous 7 starts this season; posting a save percentage of under .900 (Jimmy Howard is around .930, for comparison). Ty stood strong Tuesday night, stopping 25 of 27 shots in route to a 3-2 shootout...

Hudler, Conklin lift Red Wings over Stars in SO

DALLAS (AP) --Jiri Hudler scored in the second round of the shootout, Detroit's Ty Conklin was perfect in all three rounds, and the Red Wings beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Tuesday night. Hudler put on a nifty move to fake rookie Richard Bachman out of position and tucked the puck into the right side of the net. Conklin denied Loui Eriksson, Michael Ryder and Trevor Daley in...

Red Wings vs Stars Recap 1.17.2012

Good road win by Detroit. Dallas was banged up and Detroit took advantage of a bounce or two to get the extra point.Jump for the full recap: Conklin with the win. Seems that he starts slow and then picks his play up as the game goes on. Not saying that he's completely out of the dog house, but a win is a win. Honestly, if not for Dallas being allowed to score with broken sticks...
