The Detroit Red Wings continued their streak of good hockey into Vancouver on Thursday night, and picked up two points in the process.  The defending Western Conference Champion Canucks came into this game with the best record in the Northwest Division, and only three points back of Detroit for the most points in the West. Needless to say, Detroit got what they came for.  Detroit...

How bout shooting? In a rare feat, a game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Vancouver Canucks turned out to be boring. The Red Wings played like Rogers Arena was their home rink while the Canucks couldn’t shake off the rust and the bad habits they carried over from January. Detroit carried the play in this game and frankly the Canucks were lucky to escape with a point...

The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 in a shootout. Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows and Mason Raymond scored for the Canucks. For the Red Wings, Dan Cleary, Jiri Hudler and Drew Miller scored. Brad Stuart also picked up 2 assists. In the shootout, Alex Edler and Mason Raymond both missed while Pavel Datsyuk and Jiri Hudler both scored to give the Red Wings the win....

Another game, another two points. I'd say Detroit played a solid 53 minutes in regulation, then dominated the OT. It was just enough. Hopefully that bonus point to Vancouver doesn't come back to haunt us.Jump for an actual recap I gave Ericsson a ton of crap earlier this year for all of his mistakes. I also said that Kindl was the better of the two. Lately, that has switched...

Taking advantage of a cushy portion of their schedule, the Nashville Predators have put together their first three-game winning streak of the season. The competition is about to get much tougher. The Predators go for a fourth straight victory Thursday night when they host the surging Red Wings, who are seeking an 11th victory in 13 games. Since losing to Phoenix on Dec. 6, Nashville...

"If I’m Dan Cleary, I worry about forecheck, penalty killing, getting to the net. I don’t spend any time thinking about goal-scoring. You’d be amazed at how everything works out from there." --Mike BabcockThat quote comes to us from Khan(!) this morning. We know that everyone's favorite Newfie is having some trouble producing this year...and hell, Chris is...

Despite all the talk about Zetterberg, Ericsson, and Conklin struggling this year, to me one player has stood out as being especially terrible: Dan Cleary. He’s been on the top two lines for the entire first two months of the season and had a paltry six points going into Saturday’s game. He’s a team worst -3 and has what appears to my eyes to be million turnovers. He�...

Valtteri Filppula scored twice to lead the Detroit Red Wings to their fifth-straight win, 4-1, over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. Filppula also had an assist on Henrik Zetterberg's goal as Detroit won its league-best ninth game at home. Dan Cleary added his fourth goal of the season early in the third period.

The Detroit Red Wings played a near perfect home game as they had few mistakes and they bested the slumping Nashville Predators 4-1on Saturday night at Joe Louis Arena.For the Predators, it was their fourth loss in a row and it appears they may have lost Frankie Bouillon, who left late in the second period with a "lower body injury." Roman Josi made his NHL debut as a seventh defenseman...

Detroit’s lost 5 straight.  Even though I thought they played excellent for the time they were not on the PK last night, they still didn’t pull it through.  Some people are calling for major changes to be made.  Blow it up!  We don’t want to be Calgary and live in mediocre land!  This isn’t a playoff team!  Stuff like that.  I mean look at this, usually rational...

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY, Here are the unnatural occurrences by the Red Wings: • They have been outscored 16-4 in their four losses. • Three-time Selke Trophy winner Pavel Datsyuk has a minus-8 plus-minus rating in his last six games. •Dan Cleary, who had 26 goals last season, doesn’t have a goal in his first nine games. •Henrik Zetterberg, an 80-point player,...

Too many guys are doing nothing. It could be that they're hurt, but that can't be the problem with everyone.Hudler drove me crazy early. If you're that open, take the shot, man! I was unaware that he had no shots in the previous 3 games. Usually that's a result of not getting chances to shoot, but that wasn't the case with Hudler. Shoot the puck, or get off the ice.Remember that...

DETROIT -- If the Detroit Red Wings capture this year's Stanley Cup, their success could be rooted in a hard table divided by a net, a hollow ball and a couple of paddles. Pingpong has become the rage among Red Wings players, with intensely competitive matches going on before and after practice -- trash-talk included -- in the bowels of Joe Louis Arena. "It (pingpong) came up from...
