VALTTERI FILPPULA RUMORS
Red Wings at the Worlds, medal round: Czechs capture bronze over Filppula, host Finns
Well, Red Wings prospect Petr Mrazek was able to learn from Czech pros and NHL’ers, hang out with his buddy Jakub Stepanek (who is dating Mrazek’s sister), and earn a Bronze medal, anyway.
The Czech Republic defeated Finland 3-2 today to capture Bronze at the World Championship, in no small part due to the goaltending of Stepanek and a superb Czech defense, but the Finns...

Red Wings at the Worlds, Quarterfinals: Filppula, Finland prevail over Howard and Team USA
Team USA stopped playing and started trapping halfway through the third period of a game they led 2-1 over Finland, and despite nothing less than valiant goaltending from one Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard, the Americans were lulled into trying to beat the Finnish trap by trying to replicate it, and were defeated by it.
With the Finnish first line of Valtteri Filppula, Mikko...

The final two games of the first day of the World Championships are in the books, and the vast majority of the Red Wings’ players taking part in the the “nightcaps” acquitted themselves very well (and yes, as you and I find more non-Geo-blocked live streams of games, they’ll mysteriously appear in the comments section so that you and I can watch as many of...

Paging Val Filppula - Goals Needed In Game Four
We've pumped Val's tires all year here at NOHS and it was for good reason. After 6 years of playing pretty, he finally added a little toughness to his game. In return, he scored a career high 66 points, blowing away his previous best of 40 points. I thought that having a new, powerful Val would take care of any worries we had about secondary scoring issues, but that doesn...

Regner: Filppula, Hudler must step up for Wings
DETROIT You can spin it any way you want and maybe a tenth of a second would have made the difference.
But, until the Red Wings start on time, stay out of the penalty box and receive a goal or two from Valtteri Filppula and Jiri Hudler, time may not really matter.
A slow start, an early power play goal, and a lack of production from two of Detroits top goal scorers resulted in...

Wings' Filppula living up to expectations
DETROIT -- Quick, name the Red Wings' top three scorers.
Chances are you got Johan Franzen (22 points) and Pavel Datsyuk (19 points), but you might not have guessed that Valtteri Filppula is tied with Datsyuk.
Filppula had two goals on three shots, plus an assist, in Saturday night's 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators.
That gives Filppula seven goals and 12 assists...
