Red Wings embrace new role
There's something to be said about being the hunter rather than the hunted in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Last season the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings, who had to fight just to get into the playoffs, beat the top three seeds in the Western Conference to reach the Finals and beat the New Jersey Devils to win the Stanley Cup.

Old school T-Mac, Big Fat Bartolo Colon, and a Great Goalie Fight

Blowing out the Candles
Kris Draper, Detroit Red Wings stud, played 20 years in the league and helped the Red Wings win 4 cups. Not bad for a player acquired from the Winnipeg Jets (before they were Colorado, not after they were Atlanta first) in 1993 for the then-waiver...
Wings special teams get it done
DETROIT -- Before their Western Conference semifinal series, Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said he believed special teams would be the difference against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Looks like Zetterberg knew what he was talking about.
The Blackhawks were perfect on the penalty kill this postseason -- until Thursday night.
After going 0-for-12 in the first three games...
Zetterberg getting best of Toews
DETROIT -- He's won a Stanley Cup, the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP and even an Olympic Gold medal.
But Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has just one assist in four games of the Western Conference semifinals. And after Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 , his team is one game away from elimination and his frustration is boiling over...

Blue Falcons vs Red Wings Recap: 5.23.2013
Oh my gosh. I mean, wow. It’s like, DUDE! Are you kidding me!? I just can’t… wow. Just, wow.
More after the jump:
Wow.
Did you see Al Sobotka before the game started? Duncan Queef stands right next to him so he can’t twirl the octopi. Al says something to him, then starts swinging it around like a madman. I like to think Al warned him that he was swinging it...
STPM: #5 vs. #13
Today's second quarterfinal matchup of ‘Smashville’s Top Playoff Moments’ pits the 5- and 13-seeds. Which was a bigger moment: Two goals in nine seconds or Pekka Rinne robbing Henrik Zetterberg?
Red Wings-Blackhawks Game 4 game-day updates: Wings understand gravity of their situation
As Paul's already noted, the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks exchanged the usual "all is well" sentiments as they prepared to face off in Game 4 of their second-round series tonight (8 PM EDT, NBCSN/CBC/97.1 FM, with a post-game show to air on FSD), and coach Babcock was in fine form during his game-day presser...

Red Wings among many organizations reaching out to help family of fallen firefighter
As mentioned yesterday, the Red Wings are holding a charitable drive on Thursday to honor a fallen firefighter, and the Deaborn Press and Guide's Joe Slezak offers more details about the event:
The Detroit Red Wings are encouraging fans attending Thursday’s playoff game against the Chicago Blackhawks at Joe Louis Arena to help “Fill a Boot” to benefit the family of...
Wings don't get too excited about improbable series lead
DETROIT The Detroit Red Wings are in a place where nobody expected them to be -- up 2-1 over the mighty Chicago Blackhawks.
Following up their win in Game 2 with a 3-1 victory in Game 3 at Joe Louis Arena on Monday, the Wings still don't consider this series over by any means.
"Let's be honest, we haven't done anything yet," Wings coach Mike Babcock said...
Patrick Kane goal and did Henrik Zetterberg take a dive?
Nice goal by Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane. One of the lone bright spots in tonight's game for the Blackhawks. The Redwings proved to be the better team again for a second game in a row.
If your a fan of either team, you might not be the one to ask. Watch the video, I want to see if anyone else is seeing this as well. It appears that Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg...
The Twenty-Cent Opera And Not-So-Secret Biases
Jonathan Toews is a broken little boy. The past couple of days he has gone to bed muttering to hiimself, when not biting his pillow, and waking up needing to change his sheets. He is haunted by his personal boogeyman, Henrik Zetterberg, whose defensive coverage of Toews has been so suffocating, the lack of oxygen affecting "Tazer's" brain and emotional stability...
Jonathan Toews vs. the World, I mean Red Wings?
Sportsnet posted quite the clip hyping the "Red Wings and Henrik Zetterberg vs. Jonathan Toews' frustration" angle heading into Game 3 between Detroit and Chicago this evening (7:30 PM EDT, NBCSN/CBC/97.1 FM, post-game on FSD). Toews! Zetterberg! Babcock!
Kronwalled? Not likely, but TSN duly noted that the Hawks possess a 9-1-and-1 record at Joe Louis Arena...
Red Wings’ Ken Holland, Henrik Zetterberg weigh in on the art of Kronwalling
TSN posted quite the feature on Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall's status as a cult hero and then some in Detroit, and perhaps as a villain in other cities, and HockeyWebCaster uploaded it to YouTube:
And yes, Kronwall insists that he's trying to keep things as clean as he can while leading the Wings' defense and trying to keep the physical edge to his game...
Detroit Red Wings make statement in Game 2 win over Chicago Blackhawks
It is commonly said that regular season success doesn't always translate to success in the postseason in the NHL. The Detroit Red Wings proved that with a 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals. It was the first time that the Blackhawks had lost to the Red Wings in regulation since April 10, 2011. Since then, the Blackhawks...
Blackhawks’ Joathan Toews irked by Red Wings’ physical play
The Detroit Red Wings elevated just about every aspect of their game during their 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, but while Henrik Zetterberg told the Chicago Sun-Times' Mark Lazerus that his somewhat personal battle with Jonathan Toews (and more than a few Blackhawks who tried to take the heads off of Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and Valtteri Filppula, among others...
Red Wings vs Blue Falcons Recap 5.18.2013
What did I tell you? Nothing you didn't already know in your Red hearts: The Detroit Red Wings can beat this team. Chicago is good, but not the invincible juggernaut some claim they are. Not by a long shot.
What you just witnessed was a scene from Rocky. I know Chief over at A2Y kind of has the market cornered on awesome Rocky references, but I need to steal this one. Before...
Valtteri Filppula scores fantastic goal to seal game against Blackhawks
Detroit Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula has had an up-and-down season this year, but this phenomenal goal showed off just how good he can be. Henrik Zetterberg dropped the puck off to him at the blue line and rather than Filppula overpass as he has done so often, he pulled the puck to his backhand and drove to the net. As he was going down he fired a backhand shot between...
Brendan Smith Scores Game-Winner in Game 2 Off Henrik Zetterberg Pass: Video
Brendan Smith might have been the goat of the Detroit Red Wings’ Game 1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The young defenseman redeemed himself in a big way on Saturday, playing a solid game in his own end and netting the eventual game-winner.
With the Wings and Blackhawks tied at one late in the second period (and the Wings controlling the play), Smith jumped into the rush and...
Red Wings bounce back with 4-1 win over Blackhawks
CHICAGO (AP) -- Damien Brunner and Brendan Smith scored in the second period and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 Saturday in Game 2 to even their Western Conference semifinal series. It was a strong response by the Red Wings after Chicago handled them easily in the series opener, 4-1. Just as the Blackhawks did in Game 1, Detroit took control in the second...
Morning Skate: Wings need to finish strong
By DAVE DYEFOXSportsDetroit.com
The Detroit Red Wings reverted back to their third-period woes in Game 1 against Chicago.
They got outscored 3-0 and outshot 19-9, which turned a tight game into a 4-1 loss.
The Wings had the same problems early in the Anaheim series during the last round. Detroit was outscored 8-1 in the third period of the first three games against the Ducks....

No song, no chance for Blackhawks in Chicago
DETROIT -- For the Detroit Red Wings, the less they hear Chelsea Dagger over the next couple weeks, the better.
The song, performed by The Fratellis, is blared at the United Center in Chicago every time the Blackhawks score a goal.
Some opponents might despise the catchy tune for obvious reasons, but not Henrik Zetterberg.
It is a good song, the Red Wings captain said. But you...
